In short
MCA Selector: MCA Selector offers detailed chunk selection and editing, including scriptable filters and command-line operations. Back up the world first, and note that snapshot-world compatibility is not guaranteed.
MCBE Inventory Editor: Choose MCBE Inventory Editor for local Bedrock player-data work when you value a free tool, browser access, offline editing, and safety checks before writes. It covers the common inventory, Ender Chest, effect, movement, and player-value changes, plus player migration files. It is not a replacement for hosting, server administration, terrain editing, or raw NBT work. Stopping the world, maintaining an independent backup, and checking results in Minecraft are part of the workflow, especially for experimental mounts or unsupported add-on data.
