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

# Usage
As this crate returns tokio based futures, you have to specify that along the dependencies:
```toml
[dependencies]
minetestworld = "0.6"
tokio = "1"
```
## An example
Here is an example that reads all nodes of a specific chunk ("map block"):
```toml
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
minetestworld = "0.6"
futures = "0.3"
```
```rs
use std::error::Error;
use futures::StreamExt;
use minetestworld::{World, Position};
#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
// Open a world by its path
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 features
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 = "0.6", default-features = false, features = [ "sqlite" ] }
```
This crate only compiles if at least one backend is enabled, because it becomes pointless without.
To gain TLS support for the `postgres` connection, add the `tls-rustls` or the `tls-native-tls` feature.
See [minetest-worldmapper](https://github.com/UgnilJoZ/minetest-worldmapper) for a real-world example.
