# minetestworld
This crate lets you read minetest worlds in a low-level way.

# Usage
As this crate returns async-std based futures, you have to specify that along the dependencies:
```toml
[dependencies]
minetestworld = "0.5.2"
async-std = "1"
```
## An example
Here is an example that reads all nodes of a specific map block:
```toml
[dependencies]
async-std = { version = "1", features = [ "attributes" ] }
minetestworld = "0.5.2"
```
```rs
use std::error::Error;
use async_std::task;
use async_std::stream::StreamExt;
use minetestworld::{World, Position};
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
let world = World::open("TestWorld");
let mapdata = world.get_map_data().await?;
// Take the first mapblock position we can grab
let mut positions = mapdata.all_mapblock_positions().await;
let blockpos = positions.next().await.unwrap()?;
// Iterate all nodes in that mapblock
for (pos, node) in mapdata.iter_mapblock_nodes(blockpos).await? {
let param0 = String::from_utf8(node.param0)?;
println!("{pos:?}, {param0:?}");
}
Ok(())
}
```
## Selectable backends
The Cargo features `sqlite`, `redis`, and `postgres` enable the respective map data backend. They are enabled by default and can be selected individually:
```toml
[dependencies]
minetestworld = { version = "0.5.2", default-features = false, features = [ "sqlite" ] }
```
This crate only compiles if at least one backend is enabled, because it becomes pointless without.
See [minetest-worldmapper](https://github.com/UgnilJoZ/minetest-worldmapper) for a real-world example.
