Version 3.0.1

Changes

• Write permission when opening Region files is now optional. This means that read-only mounted Minecraft worlds won't fail with permission denied anymore (except if your try to modify and write them, of course).

Version 3.0.0

Changes

• Renamed the base package to de.piegames.nbt.
  • Obviously, this is a breaking change!
  • Apart from this, the API itself remains backwards compatible. This means that changing the imports should suffice to upgrade to this version.
• Allow raw array parsing
  • By setting a flag in NBTInputStream, all primitive arrays will be read as byte arrays. Some API was added to cast ByteArrayTag into the respective representation.
  • This should improve performance for applications that read huge NBT files, but are only interested in a few bits of data from them.
• Minecraft 1.16 support: The actual data formats did not change. The only notable thing that changed is how the palette data of a chunk is encoded.
  • The old methods and classes got deprecated and renamed to have the suffix 1_13. This affects Palette (now Palette1_13) and Chunk#extractFromLong (now Chunk#extractFromLong1_13).
  • A new method Chunk#extractFromLong1_16 was added. There is no Palette1_16 counterpart as there is no need for it due to the new format.
• Updated Gradle to version 6
