Module mca_parser::nbt

This module contains all structs related to the nbt data in the chunks

Note: Many of the descriptions for the fields/structs in this module come directly from the Minecraft Wiki, with some occasional modifications to make them make more sense (at least in this context). The latest update to these descriptions was on 5 March 2024, and I’ll try to keep them updated.

Mojang has the worst naming conventions ever! Sometimes they use snake_case, sometimes they use PascalCase, other times they use camelCase, sometimes it’s SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE! This is so annoying when dealing with Mojang things! Feel free to look at the name changes on almost every field in this module just to make it happy and you’ll be just as annoyed as I am!
