Straight to the point, this pull request adds a feature I've needed dozens of times before. The feature is, the ability to copy entire .dat files as if they were compound tags, and paste them elsewhere.
This feature is incredibly useful when hosting a LAN world and sharing the world folder between friends, because if not corrected the game will overwrite the new host player's inventory with the old host's inventory. To prevent this, one needs to open the world with NBTExplorer, copy the data from their personal file in the playerdata folder, and overwrite the level.dat file's "Player" entry with the data. It's incredibly hard to do this without being able to copy data from .dat files.
I would very much prefer it if this pr got merged, but as this repository hasn't been updated in years, I will also include an executable in my fork's releases page.
