Proper way to serialise blocks

[shieldbug1]

I have a Schematic class that allows me to have easier generation of things, that gets serialised using Json.

 

I'm using

GameData.getBlockRegistry().getNameForObject(block);

to get the names ("minecraft:grass" for example), and

Block.getBlockFromName(name);

to get the block back. Is this the suggested way to save blocks (to allow for transfer between worlds)?

 

 

Also, as a side note, is there any way to set multiple blocks at once? Because otherwise, setting blocks in a 3d plane takes O(n^3) time at best, and Minecraft doesn't support multithreaded world 'block setting' (or multithreaded anything, to be honest).

The reason I'm using Json is because it's supposed to also be easily modified by an average user outside of the game.

 

I'll go give what you suggested a go and see what I can manage, and post here again if I need any help. Thanks.

Hi

 

You might be interested in this class, it does pretty much exactly that.

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/SpeedyTools/blob/master/src/main/java/speedytools/serverside/worldmanipulation/WorldFragment.java

 

There's a fair bit of stuff in there you don't need to worry about (it places asynchronously and also rotates/flips during placement) but writeToWorldAsynchronous_do() shows the key steps.

It's not that bad if you have some time on your hands, honestly.

 

I've been doing it to test and it's not that bad, especially if you call setPrettyPrinting for the serialiser.
