save/load the world

[rom1504]

Should be easy enough to do with https://github.com/mhsjlw/minecraft-classic-anvil

• [x] loading
• [x] saving

It gives us a buffer of blocks, how can we split that up so we can send it to the user?

[rom1504]

@mhsjlw how big is the buffer ?

[ghost]

When running the read.js example in the repo based off of a world generated by the official minecraft server and running console.log(data.blocks.$.length);, it is 4194304

[rom1504]

console.log(data["blocks"]["$"].length)

4194304

= 256_64_256

so it's exactly the same format

make a load in world.js that does this.data=data; and done.

[rom1504]

hmm, not exactly this.data=data; actually load(data) { data.copy(this.data,4); }

[rom1504]

well might as well include the require('minecraft-classic-anvil') and usage directly in world.js ;)

[ghost]

I need to publish it then... should we implement world writing first? Like setting blocks? Or should I just disable that for now, so you can only read?

[rom1504]

@mhsjlw I think, just remove x,y, z and block in https://github.com/mhsjlw/minecraft-classic-anvil/blob/master/src/write.js and it's done.

I mean it'll be enough to use it.

[rom1504]

ah nevermind, you just copy pasted this from read.js, there's some stuff to change indeed.

But just implement as "encode in that java.io format and let the user handle the format" I think, for now.

[rom1504]

But anyway yeah, publishing it with just load working is okay.

[ghost]

Ok. before I push though I am adding a readSync function in case we need it

[rom1504]

I don't think it's needed to have a readSync no.

[ghost]

it's done I just need to add a /save command
