mcdata

A Rust library providing traits and types representing various Minecraft NBT structures.

Overview

Currently, this crate provides three traits along with some implementations of those traits:

• [BlockState] for block states. See the [block_state] module for more.
• [Entity] for normal entities. See the [entity] module for more.
• [BlockEntity] for block entities. See the [block_entity] module for more.

There's one "generic" implementation for each of these in the corresponding module. Other implementations are locked behind features.

With serde support enabled, all types in this crate can be full serialized and deserialized from/to NBT. The recommended crate for that is fastnbt which is also internally used by the types in this crate. For example [entity::GenericEntity] is almost fully represented by a [fastnbt::Value].
