Documentation
Installation
Install the package:
$ npm install @minecraft-js/nbt
And then import it in your JavaScript/TypeScript file
const { parseNBT, writeNBT } = require('@minecraft-js/nbt'); // CommonJS
import { parseNBT, writeNBT } from '@minecraft-js/nbt'; // ES6
Parsing
No need to specify the compression if the file is compressed. The writer will figure it out by itself.
Note: Here I got the data by reading a file but you can get it whatever you want as long as you provide a valid buffer with valid NBT data inside.
import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
const buffer = readFileSync('myFile.nbt');
const parsed = parseNBT(buffer);
Writing
To write an NBT file you must pass a NBT_Compound
instance to the write function.
import { writeFileSync } from 'node:fs';
const buffer = writeNBT(compound);
writeFileSync('myFile.nbt', buffer);
