Help using get method for NbtTag types

[JMMFL]

Hello! I read your documentation on the get method for NbtCompounds:

let mut compound = NbtCompound::new(); compound.insert("test", 1.0f64); assert_eq!(compound.get::<_, f64>("test"), Ok(1.0f64));

I'm trying to access the value of my 'blocks' tag in my NBT file. What would the type annotation look like? I've tried the following:

let mut file = File::open("1x1x1-dirt.nbt").unwrap(); let compound = read_nbt_gz_compressed(&mut file).unwrap().0; let compound = compound.get::<_, NbtTag>("blocks");

Compound looks like: "{size:[1,1,1],DataVersion:2586,palette:[{Name:\"minecraft:dirt\"}],entities:[],blocks:[{state:0,pos:[0,0,0]}]}"

Appreciate the guidance 👍

Hello, I'd recommend doing the following:

let mut file = File::open("1x1x1-dirt.nbt").unwrap();
let compound = read_nbt_gz_compressed(&mut file).unwrap().0;

// The `?` syntax would also work here when returning a result
let blocks: &NbtList = compound.get("blocks").unwrap();

Note that this works because by specifying that the type of blocks is &NbtList, the compiler can infer the appropriate type parameter for the get method. If you need an owned value, then clone the NBT list.
