anvil-parser

Simple parser for the Minecraft anvil file format

Installation

This project is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip pip install anvil-parser or directly from github pip install git+https://github.com/matcool/anvil-parser.git

Usage

Reading

```python import anvil

region = anvil.Region.from_file('r.0.0.mca')

You can also provide the region file name instead of the object

chunk = anvil.Chunk.from_region(region, 0, 0)

If section is not provided, will get it from the y coords

and assume it's global

block = chunk.get_block(0, 0, 0)

print(block) # print(block.id) # air print(block.properties) # {} ```

Making own regions

```python import anvil from random import choice

Create a new region with the EmptyRegion class at 0, 0 (in region coords)

region = anvil.EmptyRegion(0, 0)

Create Block objects that are used to set blocks

stone = anvil.Block('minecraft', 'stone') dirt = anvil.Block('minecraft', 'dirt')

Make a 16x16x16 cube of either stone or dirt blocks

for y in range(16): for z in range(16): for x in range(16): region.set_block(choice((stone, dirt)), x, y, z)

Save to a file

region.save('r.0.0.mca') ```

Todo

things to do before 1.0.0 - [x] Proper documentation - [ ] Biomes - [x] CI - [ ] More tests - [ ] Tests for 20w17a+ BlockStates format

Note

Testing done in 1.14.4 and 1.15.2, should work fine for other versions.

Issues

Existing regions are read-only

Why. I wanna write to existing regions and change them.

Viewing Block NBT

Hey again, I'm struggling to find any documentation on how to read from other locations in a .mca file. How would I go about say... retrieving the command from a command block??

1.19.x support?

Getting errors that, after looking at other bug reports, seem to originate from minecraft versions. the .mca file im trying to use is in 1.19.2. getting the following eror: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\Zoe\Desktop\projects\minecraft related\<redacted project name>\scripts\main.py", line 49, in <module> chunk = anvil.Chunk.from_region(region, 0, 0) File "C:\Users\Zoe\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\anvil\chunk.py", line 382, in from_region return cls(nbt_data) File "C:\Users\Zoe\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\anvil\chunk.py", line 55, in __init__ self.data = nbt_data['Level'] File "C:\Users\Zoe\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\nbt\nbt.py", line 543, in __getitem__ raise KeyError("Tag %s does not exist" % key) KeyError: 'Tag Level does not exist'

The code:

``` import anvil

region = anvil.Region.from_file('r.0.0.mca') # line 48 chunk = anvil.Chunk.from_region(region, 0, 0) block = chunk.get_block(0, 60, 0) print(block) print(block.id) print(block.properties) ```

* EDIT * anvil-new (pip install anvil-new) works for this mca file

KeyError: 'Tag DataVersion does not exist'

Limit for anvil.Chunk.from_region(region, x, z)

opened on 2022-07-17 15:45:08 by bartnikj

Shouldn't anvil.Chunk.from_region(region, x, z) have 32x32 limit similar to other functions? It seems like it can accept things well beyond those values. I have no idea where do the results come from.

Thanks.

Solution for 1.18+ support

Hey all,

I forked the package and updated what I could to make it 1.18+ compatible. If anyone wants to access it, here's the repo, and here's the PyPi link. You can install it with "pip install anvil-new", and for now the import is still "import anvil" (but I might change that). My fork does only support versions 1.16 and above AFAIK.

All credit to matcool, and if there's anything I forgot to do to give them credit let me know.
