Raspite

An up-to-date and easy to use library for serializing/deserializing Minecraft's named binary tag (NBT) format.

Usage

Serializing

• Serializing takes a tag and a stream to serialize to:

var tag = new StringTag()
{
    Value = "Hello, world!"
};

await using var stream = new MemoryStream();
await BinaryTagSerializer.SerializeAsync(tag, stream);

• Deserializing is pretty much the same, but in a reversed way:

await using var stream = new MemoryStream();
var tag = await BinaryTagSerializer.DeserializeAsync<StringTag>(file);

Collection tags

• The compound tag builder provides easy API to build a compound tag:

var tag = CompoundTagBuilder.Create("Parent")
    .AddStringTag("Hello, world!")
    .AddShortTag(6942)
    .Build();

• All collection tags have an indexer for indexing tags/values:

var stringTag = (StringTag) tag[0];

• Compound tag and list tag offer LINQ-like searching methods:

var stringTag = tag.First<StringTag>(name: "Username");
