Crate fastanvil

For handling Minecraft’s region format, Anvil. This crate is mostly to support creating maps of Minecraft worlds and is not stable (per-1.0). The Region struct is probably the most generally useful part in this crate.

This crate also contains a JavaChunk that allows deserializing 1.18 down to about 1.15 chunks into some structs. This doesn’t record all information from a chunk however, eg entities are lost. It is not suitable for serializing back into a region.

You can create your own chunk structures to (de)serialize using fastnbt.

Region can be given a Read, Write and Seek type eg a file in order to read and write chunk data.

CurrentJavaChunk

A Minecraft chunk.

Heightmaps

Various heightmaps kept up to date by Minecraft.

LoaderError

PackedBits

PackedBits can be used in place of blockstates in chunks to avoid allocating memory for them when they might not be needed. This object by default just retains a reference to the data in the input, and unpack_into can be used to get the unpacked version when needed.

PaletteError

RCoord

Region

A Minecraft Region, allowing reading and writing of chunk data to a stream (eg a File). This does not concern itself with manipulating chunk data, users are expected to use fastnbt or other deserialization method to manipulate the chunk data itself.

RegionFileLoader

RegionIter

RegionMap

RenderedPalette

Section

A vertical section of a chunk (ie a 16x16x16 block cube)

SectionTower

SectionTower represents the set of sections that make up a Minecraft chunk. It has a custom deserialization in order to more efficiently lay out the sections for quick access.

StatesIter

Iterator over block state data. Each value is the index into the relevant palette.

TopShadeRenderer

Enums

BlockArchetype

CompressionScheme

Various compression schemes that NBT data is typically compressed with.

HeightMode

JavaChunk

A Minecraft chunk.

Palette

Palette can be used to take a block description to produce a colour that it should render to.

RegionLoader

RegionLoader implmentations provide access to regions. They do not need to be concerned with caching, just providing an object that implements Region.

Functions

bits_per_block

Get the number of bits that will be used in Blockstates per block.

expand_blockstates

Expand blockstate data so each block is an element of a Vec.

expand_generic_1_15

Expand generic bit-packed data in the 1.15 format, ie data potentially existing across two 64-bit ints.

expand_generic_1_16

Expand generic bit-packed data in the 1.16 format, ie with padding bits.

expand_heightmap

Expand heightmap data. This is equivalent to expand_generic(data, 9).

load_rendered_palette

Load a prepared rendered palette. This is for use with the palette.tar.gz alongside the fastnbt project repository.

unstable_div_ceil
