In their own words
Bedrock Viz
Bedrock Viz parses Minecraft Bedrock Edition world files to create overview images and reports, and it can generate a browser-based viewer for exploring a world. The viewer covers Overworld and Nether layers, biomes, mobs and items, spawnable blocks, chunk boundaries, elevation shading, and distance measurement. It can browse 256 layers from bedrock to the build limit. Image outputs include world layers, biomes, block light, block height, and grass color; movie output is available for world layers and requires ffmpeg. The software is free and listed for Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The README provides a Windows 10 download, supports macOS 10.15 and later through Homebrew, and directs Linux users to compile the source. Generated maps can be served locally with Docker and NGINX, or viewed offline. Running the program can change world files, so work from a backup. Locally opened viewers may lose some features because of browser restrictions, and slime chunk finding may be unreliable.
Hextor
Hextor is a free Windows hexadecimal editor and toolkit for analyzing binary data. It can present content as text, hexadecimal, integer, or floating-point values, and can interpret or edit data through C-like structure descriptions. Search and replace supports text, hex, Unicode, wildcards, and value searches. Binary comparison detects inserted and deleted data. Hextor can view and edit logical volumes, physical disks, and process memory. Analysis features include bitmap viewing, MD, SHA, and CRC hash calculation, plus a disassembler using the Zydis library. Scripting works through IActiveScript. Version 0.15 adds partial, view-only Intel HEX support and searches involving an unknown half-byte. The Freeware plan costs nothing and allows personal and commercial use. Source code is available only for review. The project advises caution and backups for valuable data, provides no warranty, and disclaims liability for damage from use.
