README

nbt-go

test Go Reference

Minecraft's NBT format for Go, in two parts:

  • A library modeled on encoding/json, with a structure package for Java Edition structure (.nbt) files. It is documented below.
  • nbt-mcp, an MCP server built on the library that lets an AI model build, inspect and save structure files. It has its own README.

Install

go get github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go@latest

Requires Go 1.22 or newer. The library has no dependencies outside the standard library.

Features

  • Marshal / Unmarshal, Encoder / Decoder, and nbt:"name,omitempty" struct tags, the same way encoding/json does it.
  • A Tag tree (Compound, List, Int, …) for data whose shape you don't know ahead of time, like map[string]any for JSON.
  • Gzip and zlib compressed input is detected automatically, and Encoder.SetCompression writes it.
  • SNBT (the {id:"minecraft:stone",count:1b} syntax used in commands) both ways.
  • The structure package reads, writes and builds structure files.

Usage

type Item struct {
	Slot  int8   `nbt:"Slot"`
	ID    string `nbt:"id"`
	Count int32  `nbt:"count"`
}

type Chest struct {
	CustomName string `nbt:"CustomName,omitempty"`
	Items      []Item `nbt:"Items"`
}

data, err := nbt.Marshal(Chest{Items: []Item{{0, "minecraft:diamond", 3}}})

var chest Chest
err = nbt.Unmarshal(data, &chest)

Reading and writing files:

f, _ := os.Open("level.dat")
dec := nbt.NewDecoder(f) // gzip is detected
var level struct {
	Data struct {
		LevelName string
		SpawnX, SpawnY, SpawnZ int32
	}
}
err := dec.Decode(&level)

enc := nbt.NewEncoder(out)
enc.SetCompression(nbt.Gzip)
err = enc.Encode(level)

Unknown data, or data you want to pass through untouched:

var tree nbt.Tag // or nbt.Compound, or any
nbt.Unmarshal(data, &tree)
fmt.Println(tree) // prints SNBT: {Items:[{Slot:0b,count:3,id:"minecraft:diamond"}]}

SNBT:

var chest Chest
err := nbt.UnmarshalSNBT(`{Items:[{Slot:0b,id:"minecraft:diamond",count:3}]}`, &chest)
s, err := nbt.MarshalSNBT(chest)

NBT paths, the foo.bar[0] syntax of /data, with the game's rules for matching, creating missing parents and "Nothing changed":

root := nbt.Compound{}
p := nbt.MustParsePath(`Items[{Slot:0b}].count`)
n, err := p.Set(root, nbt.Int(5)) // creates Items:[{Slot:0b,count:5}]; n is 1
tags := p.Get(root)               // [5]
nbt.MustParsePath("Items[0]").Remove(root)

nbt.Quote quotes a string the way the game writes it in SNBT, and Equal, Matches and Clone compare and copy tag trees.

Type mapping

Go NBT
bool TAG_Byte (0/1)
int8, uint8 TAG_Byte
int16, uint16 TAG_Short
int32, uint32, int, uint TAG_Int (int/uint error if out of range)
int64, uint64 TAG_Long
float32 / float64 TAG_Float / TAG_Double
string TAG_String
[]byte, []int8 TAG_Byte_Array
[]int32, []uint32 TAG_Int_Array
[]int64, []uint64 TAG_Long_Array
other slices and arrays TAG_List (elements must share one type)
map[string]T, structs TAG_Compound
pointers, interfaces the value they point to; nil is omitted
nbt.Tag types (nbt.Compound, …) themselves
nbt.Marshaler / encoding.TextMarshaler whatever MarshalNBT returns / TAG_String

Struct tag options:

  • omitempty leaves out zero values, as in encoding/json.
  • list writes a byte, int or long slice as a TAG_List instead of an array. Minecraft uses lists for things like positions: Pos [3]int32 `nbt:"pos,list"` .
  • - skips the field.

Decoding is lenient where it's safe: any integer tag decodes into any Go integer or bool if the value fits, arrays and lists decode into slices, and unknown keys are ignored unless you call Decoder.DisallowUnknownFields. Errors report the path to the bad value, such as blocks[3].pos[1].

Structure files

s := structure.New(5023) // the DataVersion of the target Minecraft version; 5023 is 26.3

s.Fill(0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 4, structure.MustParseBlockState("stone_bricks"))
s.SetBlock(2, 1, 2, structure.MustParseBlockState("chest[facing=north]"),
	nbt.Compound{"LootTable": nbt.String("minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon")})
s.AddEntity([3]float64{2.5, 1, 0.5}, nbt.Compound{"id": nbt.String("minecraft:armor_stand")})

f, _ := os.Create("my_structure.nbt")
defer f.Close()
err := s.Write(f) // gzip compressed, ready for a structure block or data pack

structure.Read loads existing files, including vanilla ones with multiple palettes (shipwrecks and similar). Positions with no block are left alone when the structure is placed, like minecraft:structure_void; place minecraft:air to clear a space.

The DataVersion decides how the file is written. Minecraft 26.3 renamed the palette keys from Name/Properties to id/properties (from DataVersion 5009 on). Both are read, and a structure is written with the keys that match its DataVersion, so set it to the version of the game that will load the file. Newer games upgrade older files, but older games can't read newer ones.

Development

The repository holds two Go modules: the library at the root and the server in cmd/nbt-mcp, which pins a version of the library in its go.mod. Run the checks in each:

go test -race ./...
golangci-lint run          # in cmd/nbt-mcp: golangci-lint run -c ../../.golangci.yml

To build the server against a local copy of the library, add a go.work file (it is not committed):

go work init . ./cmd/nbt-mcp

Scope

This library covers Java Edition NBT (big-endian). Bedrock's little-endian and network variants, and region (.mca) files, aren't supported yet.

Documentation

Overview

Package nbt implements encoding and decoding of Minecraft's Named Binary Tag (NBT) format, as used by Java Edition for level data, player data and structure (.nbt) files.

The API is modeled on encoding/json. Go values are converted to and from NBT with Marshal and Unmarshal, or streamed with Encoder and Decoder. Struct fields are mapped with `nbt:"name,opts"` tags.

When the shape of the data is not known ahead of time, decode into a Tag (or an empty interface) to get a tree of Compound, List, Int, ... values, much like decoding JSON into map[string]any.

Type mapping

Go values are encoded as follows: 

bool                     Byte (0 or 1)
int8, uint8              Byte
int16, uint16            Short
int32, uint32            Int
int, uint                Int (an error if the value does not fit)
int64, uint64            Long
float32                  Float
float64                  Double
string                   String
[]byte, []int8           ByteArray
[]int32, []uint32        IntArray
[]int64, []uint64        LongArray
other slices and arrays  List (elements must all encode to the same type)
map[string]T             Compound
struct                   Compound
pointer, interface       the value pointed to; nil is omitted

The "list" tag option forces a byte, int or long slice to be encoded as a List instead of an array, which some Minecraft formats require (for example the "pos" field in structure files is a List of Int): 

Pos [3]int32 `nbt:"pos,list"`

NBT has no null value, so nil pointers, interfaces and maps-of-nothing are left out of the enclosing compound rather than written as an empty value.

Decoding is lenient in the same way encoding/json is: any integer tag can be decoded into any Go integer (or bool) as long as the value fits, any numeric tag into a float, arrays and lists into slices, and unknown compound keys are ignored unless Decoder.DisallowUnknownFields is set.

Compression

Unmarshal and Decoder detect gzip and zlib compressed input automatically. Encoder.SetCompression selects compression when writing; Java Edition structure files are gzip compressed.

SNBT

Every Tag formats itself as stringified NBT (the syntax used by commands such as /data and /give) via its String method, and ParseSNBT, MarshalSNBT and UnmarshalSNBT convert in the other direction.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go"
)

type Item struct {
	Slot  int8   `nbt:"Slot"`
	ID    string `nbt:"id"`
	Count int32  `nbt:"count"`
}

type Chest struct {
	CustomName string `nbt:"CustomName,omitempty"`
	Items      []Item `nbt:"Items"`
}

func main() {
	chest := Chest{Items: []Item{{Slot: 0, ID: "minecraft:diamond", Count: 3}}}

	data, err := nbt.Marshal(chest)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	var decoded Chest
	if err := nbt.Unmarshal(data, &decoded); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", decoded)
}

Output:
{CustomName: Items:[{Slot:0 ID:minecraft:diamond Count:3}]}

Functions

func Equal 

func Equal(a, b Tag) bool

Equal reports whether two tags have the same type and value. An empty list or array equals a nil one of the same type, and compound entries holding nil are ignored, as they are when encoding.

func FromTag 

func FromTag(t Tag, v any) error

FromTag stores t in the value pointed to by v, using the same rules as Unmarshal. It is the inverse of ToTag.

func Marshal 

func Marshal(v any) ([]byte, error)

Marshal returns the uncompressed binary NBT encoding of v, written as a root tag with an empty name (as Java Edition does for structure and level files). Use an Encoder to set the root name or compress the output.

v is normally a struct or map, giving a TAG_Compound root. See the package documentation for how Go values map to NBT.

func MarshalSNBT 

func MarshalSNBT(v any) (string, error)

MarshalSNBT returns the stringified NBT (SNBT) form of v, the syntax used by Minecraft commands such as /data and /give. Compound keys are sorted so the output is deterministic.

func Matches 

func Matches(pattern, t Tag) bool

Matches reports whether t matches pattern the way a path's {k:v} does: a compound matches when it has every key of the pattern with a matching value, a list when every element of the pattern matches some element of it (an empty pattern list only matches an empty list), and other tags when they are equal. A nil pattern matches anything.

func Quote 

func Quote(s string) string

Quote returns s as a quoted SNBT string, the way Minecraft writes one. The quote is '"' unless a quote character appears in s, in which case it is the other kind from the first one found, so `say "hi"` becomes 'say "hi"'. Backslashes, the chosen quote and control characters are escaped (\n, \t, \x01, ...), so the result is always one line.

func QuoteKey 

func QuoteKey(k string) string

QuoteKey returns a compound key as SNBT writes it: bare when Minecraft leaves it bare (it starts with a letter, '.' or '_' and holds only letters, digits and "._+-"), quoted with Quote otherwise.

func Unmarshal 

func Unmarshal(data []byte, v any) error

Unmarshal parses binary NBT data and stores the result in the value pointed to by v. Gzip and zlib compressed data is detected and decompressed automatically. The root tag's name is ignored; use a Decoder to read it.

v may be a pointer to a struct or map (for a compound root), to a Tag or empty interface (to get the raw tree), or to any other type compatible with the root tag. See the package documentation for the conversion rules.

Example (Tree) 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go"
)

func main() {
	data, _ := nbt.Marshal(map[string]any{
		"pos":  []float64{1.5, 64, -3},
		"name": "Steve",
	})

	// Decode into a Tag (or any) when the shape isn't known up front.
	var tree nbt.Tag
	if err := nbt.Unmarshal(data, &tree); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	c := tree.(nbt.Compound)
	fmt.Println(c["name"], c["pos"].Type())
	fmt.Println(tree)
}

Output:
"Steve" TAG_List
{name:"Steve",pos:[1.5d,64d,-3d]}

func UnmarshalSNBT 

func UnmarshalSNBT(s string, v any) error

UnmarshalSNBT parses SNBT and stores the result in the value pointed to by v, using the same rules as Unmarshal.

func (*Decoder) DecodeTag 

func (d *Decoder) DecodeTag() (Tag, error)

DecodeTag reads the next root tag from the stream and returns it as a tree. It returns io.EOF when the stream has no more values.

func (*Decoder) DisallowUnknownFields 

func (d *Decoder) DisallowUnknownFields()

DisallowUnknownFields causes Decode to return an UnknownFieldError when a compound contains a key that does not match any field of the destination struct.

	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go"

	enc.SetCompression(nbt.Gzip)
	if err := enc.Encode(map[string]int32{"DataVersion": 3955}); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Decoders detect compression on their own.
	dec := nbt.NewDecoder(&buf)
	var v struct{ DataVersion int32 }
	if err := dec.Decode(&v); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

func (e *Encoder) EncodeTag(t Tag) error

EncodeTag writes t to the stream as a named root tag.

func (*Encoder) SetCompression 

func (e *Encoder) SetCompression(c Compression)

SetCompression sets the compression applied to each value written. With Gzip or Zlib, every call to Encode writes one complete compressed stream.

func (*Encoder) SetRootName 

func (e *Encoder) SetRootName(name string)

SetRootName sets the name written for the root tag. It defaults to the empty string, which is what Java Edition uses.

func (*InvalidUnmarshalError) Error 

func (e *InvalidUnmarshalError) Error() string

type List 

type List []Tag

List is a TAG_List. Its elements may mix types, as they may in Minecraft since 1.21.5 (["",{text:"a"}] in a text component): such a list is written as a list of compounds, each element that is not a compound wrapped as {"":element}, and wrapped elements are unwrapped when read. An empty List is written with element type TAG_End, as Minecraft does.

func (List) ElemType 

func (l List) ElemType() TagType

ElemType reports the type the list is written with: TagEnd if it is empty, the type of its elements if they share one, and TagCompound if they mix types (see List).

func (List) Mixed 

func (l List) Mixed() bool

Mixed reports whether the list's elements have more than one type, or it holds a compound that would read back as a wrapped element.

	Err  error
}

A MarshalerError wraps an error returned by a MarshalNBT method.

func (e *MarshalerError) Error() string

func (*MarshalerError) Unwrap 

func (e *MarshalerError) Unwrap() error

type Path 

type Path struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Path is an NBT path, the syntax commands such as /data and /execute use to point into NBT: foo.bar[0]."a key"[{id:"x"}]. Parse one with ParsePath.

A path is a list of nodes, each of which selects tags inside the ones the previous node selected: 

{k:v}     the root, if it matches the compound (only first)
name      the compound child name; quote it ("a b") if it has
          spaces, quotes, dots or brackets
name{k:v} the child name, if it is a compound that matches
[n]       the list or array element n; negative n counts from the end
[]        every element of a list or array
[{k:v}]   every element of a list that is a compound that matches

A compound matches a pattern when it has every key of the pattern, each with a matching value: compounds match recursively, a list matches if every element of the pattern matches some element of it (an empty pattern list only matches an empty list), and anything else must be equal. This is how Minecraft compares them.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go"
)

func main() {
	root := nbt.Compound{}
	p := nbt.MustParsePath(`Items[{Slot:0b}].count`)
	n, err := p.Set(root, nbt.Int(5))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(n, root)
	fmt.Println(p.Get(root))
	nbt.MustParsePath("Items[0]").Remove(root)
	fmt.Println(root)
}

Output:
1 {Items:[{Slot:0b,count:5}]}
[5]
{Items:[]}

func MustParsePath 

func MustParsePath(s string) Path

MustParsePath is like ParsePath but panics if the path is invalid.

func ParsePath 

func ParsePath(s string) (Path, error)

ParsePath parses an NBT path such as Inventory[0].components."minecraft:custom_data".

func (Path) Count 

func (p Path) Count(root Tag) int

Count returns how many tags the path selects in root.

func (Path) Get 

func (p Path) Get(root Tag) []Tag

Get returns the tags the path selects in root, in order. It returns none, not an error, when nothing matches.

func (Path) Modify 

func (p Path) Modify(root Tag, create func() Tag, f func(Tag) (Tag, error)) (int, error)

Modify calls f with each tag the path selects in root, creating them the way Path.Set does with create if they are missing (create is then called for the new tag, and may be nil to create nothing). The tag f returns replaces the old one. Modify returns how many tags f was called for.

It is how /data modify ... append and merge work: Modify with create returning an empty List, appending in f.

func (Path) Remove 

func (p Path) Remove(root Tag) int

Remove deletes every tag the path selects in root and returns how many it removed. A path that selects the root itself removes nothing.

func (Path) Set 

func (p Path) Set(root Tag, v Tag) (int, error)

Set replaces every tag the path selects in root with a copy of v, and returns how many it changed: a tag already equal to v does not count, so a 0 is how /data modify ... set fails with "Nothing changed".

Compounds and lists missing on the way are created, as the game does: name creates a compound (or a list if the next node indexes one), name{k:v} creates a copy of its pattern, [{k:v}] adds one to an empty or unmatched list, and [] adds an element to an empty list. An index past the end of a list creates nothing.

root is changed in place, so it must be a Compound (or a path that starts below its root); Set returns an error if an array would end up holding another type (an IntArray element set to a Byte, say).

func (Path) String 

func (p Path) String() string

String returns the path as written.

type PathError 

type PathError struct {
	Path   string
	Offset int // byte offset in Path, for a syntax error; -1 otherwise
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A PathError reports a path that cannot be parsed, or an operation a path cannot do.

func (*PathError) Error 

func (e *PathError) Error() string

type SNBTSyntaxError 

type SNBTSyntaxError struct {
	Offset int // byte offset in the input
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An SNBTSyntaxError describes malformed SNBT.

func (*SNBTSyntaxError) Error 

func (e *SNBTSyntaxError) Error() string

type Short 

type Short int16

Short is a TAG_Short, a signed 16-bit integer.

func (Short) String 

func (t Short) String() string

func (Short) Type 

func (Short) Type() TagType

type String 

type String string

String is a TAG_String.

func (String) String 

func (t String) String() string

func (String) Type 

func (String) Type() TagType

type SyntaxError 

type SyntaxError struct {
	Offset int64 // bytes read before the error occurred
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A SyntaxError describes malformed binary NBT.

func (*SyntaxError) Error 

func (e *SyntaxError) Error() string

type Tag 

type Tag interface {
	// Type reports the wire type of the tag.
	Type() TagType
	String() string
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Tag is an NBT value. The concrete types are Byte, Short, Int, Long, Float, Double, ByteArray, String, List, Compound, IntArray and LongArray. The set is closed: other packages cannot implement Tag.

The String method of every Tag returns its SNBT representation.

func Clone 

func Clone(t Tag) Tag

Clone returns a deep copy of t, so that changing one leaves the other alone.

func ParseSNBT 

func ParseSNBT(s string) (Tag, error)

ParseSNBT parses a single SNBT value, such as 

{Items:[{Slot:0b,id:"minecraft:diamond",count:3}],CustomName:'"Loot"'}

Unquoted values are typed the way Minecraft types them: 1b is a Byte, 1s a Short, 1 an Int, 1L a Long, 1.5f a Float, 1.5 or 1.5d a Double, true and false are Bytes, and anything else is a String.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/MinecraftMetascript/nbt-go"
)

type Item struct {
	Slot  int8   `nbt:"Slot"`
	ID    string `nbt:"id"`
	Count int32  `nbt:"count"`
}

type Chest struct {
	CustomName string `nbt:"CustomName,omitempty"`
	Items      []Item `nbt:"Items"`
}

func main() {
	tag, err := nbt.ParseSNBT(`{Items:[{Slot:0b,id:"minecraft:diamond",count:3}]}`)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	var chest Chest
	if err := nbt.FromTag(tag, &chest); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(chest.Items[0].ID, chest.Items[0].Count)
}

Output:
minecraft:diamond 3

func ToTag 

func ToTag(v any) (Tag, error)

ToTag converts v to an NBT tree using the same rules as Marshal. It is useful for building a Compound from Go values, for example to embed in another structure or format as SNBT.

type TagType 

type TagType byte

TagType identifies the type of an NBT tag as it appears on the wire.

The NBT tag types, with their on-the-wire IDs.

func (TagType) String 

func (t TagType) String() string

type UnknownFieldError 

type UnknownFieldError struct {
	Name string
	Type reflect.Type
	Path string
}

An UnknownFieldError is returned when Decoder.DisallowUnknownFields is set and a compound has a key with no matching struct field.

func (*UnknownFieldError) Error 

func (e *UnknownFieldError) Error() string

type UnmarshalTypeError 

type UnmarshalTypeError struct {
	Tag   TagType      // the NBT type that was found
	Type  reflect.Type // the Go type it could not be assigned to
	Path  string       // dotted path of the offending value, e.g. "blocks[3].pos"
	Value string       // optional detail, e.g. the overflowing number
}

An UnmarshalTypeError describes an NBT tag that could not be stored in a Go value of a particular type.

func (*UnmarshalTypeError) Error 

func (e *UnmarshalTypeError) Error() string

type Unmarshaler 

type Unmarshaler interface {
	UnmarshalNBT(Tag) error
}

Unmarshaler is implemented by types that can set themselves from a Tag.

type UnsupportedTypeError 

type UnsupportedTypeError struct {
	Type reflect.Type
}

An UnsupportedTypeError is returned by Marshal when asked to encode a value of a type that has no NBT representation, such as a channel or func.

func (*UnsupportedTypeError) Error 

func (e *UnsupportedTypeError) Error() string
