How to open NBS file?

The most common problem when using Minecraft Note Block Studio Format is that a specific NBS is not associated with the program. This causes the file NBS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Minecraft

The first step is to check if the computer has the Minecraft program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Minecraft in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support NBS files.

Programs to open NBS file

Remember to download programs supporting NBS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Minecraft with NBS files

If, despite the installed application, the NBS file does not start in the Minecraft application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBS file with the Minecraft application.

Step 3. Update Minecraft to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Minecraft program with the Minecraft Note Block Studio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Markus Persson website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBS file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The NBS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NBS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NBS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NBS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NBS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact David Norgren
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NBS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NBS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NBS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NBS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
