Open region files

[sk-zk]

Is it possible to open region files (.mca) with fNbt? It fails with this message:

System.IO.InvalidDataException: 'Could not auto-detect compression format.'

(edit: nvm, rolled my own)

How did you solved the problem? I am stucking at the same message.

So basically, a region file is not an NBT file, but does store chunk data as NBT.

https://wiki.vg/Region_Files

fNbt doesn't seem to have implemented this format.

Ok, Thanks for the fast answer 👍
I will switch to Java and use this repository: https://github.com/Querz/NBT

Hi, you mention you rolled your own. Care to share? I'm guessing this library can still be used for the Chunks but I can't reach them

Sure:

I haven't touched it in two years though so if there have been any changes to the format it's probably broken

Thank you! I was hacking something of my own but I like yours better, I'll give it a try.
