Testing XPATH changes without loading full game

[Subject4056]

Is there any way to test/check XPATH changes for errors/warnings without actually loading in to the game? I frequently make changes that I don't care to playtest until I'm sure all the changes applied correctly, and bigger changes can sometimes mess up the chunk I load in to. Not to mention the load time. Are there any official or unofficial tools to help with this?

If you're just checking for red/yellow error warnings, load the POI editor instead of a new world--it's a lot faster, and it will still show you any errors it encounters on loading your mods.

If you just want to run XPath queries, to see which nodes are returned, I recommend BaseX:

It's free and open source.
