How to delete inventory without entering the game

[Coinless]

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?

Delete your player.dat file

 

[Dravarden]

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

i tried that, didnt work strangely, i always have everything when i try go back in

 

[Dravarden]

are you joining a server?

try deleting the whole players folder.

 

[Coinless]

Nope, just single player. Okay ill try the folder next

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).

 

[MilConDoin]

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.

I removed the mod, which helped it all, thanks anyway guys!

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.
