I keep crashing, and i think its because of an item in my inventory, is there anyway i can delete it, without playing the game?

go to your .minecraft folder
enter saves
enter your world folder
then players
delete the file (yournamehere).dat

I think this is part of the level.dat
Try using NBTExplorer on it and finding your entry. (Sorry, no time right now to be more eloquent).

So, more time now.
NBTExplorer, open the level.dat
Go to Data->Player->Inventory
All the entries there describe, what you have in your inv.
If you know which item makes the problem (and where in your inventory it is):
Slot 0-8 is the hotbar, 9-35 is the inventory, 100-103 is the armor.
If you only know the item ID: look at the id-entry (and damage-entry for metadata).

I had something similar on a server, I kept crashing everytime I joined. The admin found out that it was an RP frame with a damage value of 1. The best way is to just cross check item ids and look for one that match or ones that may harass damage value.

Hi,

@MilConCoin, your suggestion helped me fix my issue which was the same.
What I did is:
Went to players folder, found the item that broke it (forestry 8801) and removed it
Went to level.dat and level.dat.old and did the same.
For some reason, it has made a new instance of the old so this was what I did to solve it for sure.
Now it works, but make sure you find the inventory in all 3 *.dat files and either remove the item or delete all the items inside.

Enjoooy :D
