Does anybody know if vanilla has one or maybe there is some public implementation?

 

I am asking about reverse-parsing of NBTBase.toString() (literally read returned string back to NBT).

Yes, I know - I can write it, or do in milion other ways, just hate reinventing the wheel.

Apparently there's a JSONToNBT class... Not 100% sure since this is from January and I'm nowhere near my workspace

 

Aside from there I've seen nothing aside from raw byte handling of NBT.

Took a glimpse. Looks nice so far. Good to know it exists.

 

I am still as designing stage (of scripting language for my mod) so I have to account for all possibilities - here - reading NBT from cfg (for e.g setting Item's NBT).

 

Thanks man!

Ernio, if you're willing to depend on Java 8, you should look into Nashorn. It's a very good JavaScript engine that's built into JavaSE, so you wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.

I alredy made design and interpreter which handles loading script and is surprisingly fast (in execution, almost as fast as native).

The biggest problem I face is that keywords I provide give power over more common game (and my mod) features, but they can't really interpret everything (obviously).

 

Nashorn might be useful in implementing advanced-level scripts, which is cool Thanks for tip.

 

Btw. If anyone know something about it (Nashorn) - particularly its performance problems (e.g what to not do), feel free to post it.
