rbedrock (development version)

rbedrock 0.4.1

  • Undefined behavior identified by the M1-San system was fixed.

rbedrock 0.4.0

Breaking Changes

  • This release includes a new API for reading and writing from the world database. The new API is designed to better support pipes and use a common database connection across functions. Most functions associated with reading and writing values to a world database were impacted. Consider the process of getting a set of values from a common prefix.

    db <- bedrockdb(dbpath)
# Previous API
dat <- get_data(db, starts_with = prefix)
# New API
#   - automatically uses db
#   - prefixes created with helper function
dat <- get_data(starts_with(prefix))

# Previous API
put_data(db, dat)
# New API
put_data(dat)

# Previous API
put_values(db, names(dat), dat)
# New API
put_data(dat, names(dat))

  • As part of the new API, the get_values(), set_values(), and related _values() functions were removed.

  • The API for working NBT and rNBT values has been reimagined.

    • NBT lists are now treated as vectors where ever possible.
    • NBT longs are now stored as strings to protect against data loss.
    • NBT integers are now stored as doubles to protect against data loss.

  • New get_blocks_* and put_blocks_* functions have replaced get_chunk_blocks_* and put_chunk_blocks_*. The new functions work per chunk and always return blocks as a 16 x 384 x 16 array, regardless of the dimension.

New Features

  • New default_db() function to get/set a default db connection.
  • New print() etc. commands for printing NBT using a tree structure.
  • New with_db() and local_db() for temporarily changing the default db connection.

Miscellaneous Fixes and Features

  • New pkgdown-based website for rbedrock.
  • The requirements for a key to be interpreted as a chunk key has been relaxed. Now any raw key of length 9, 10, 13, or 14 will be considered a chunk key if it contains at least one non-printable character. Collisions between plain and chunk keys can still occur, but they are not likely in this scheme.
  • New biome_name() function for converting from a numeric id to biome name.
  • New read_rnbt_once() function to parse NBT data that is mixed in with non NBT data. It returns a single NBT value along with how may bytes the value was.
  • New blocks_nbt() and blocks_str() functions to convert block data between NBT and string representations.
  • spawning_area() no longer requires a chunk to be withing 96 blocks of a player.
  • Vendored LevelDB library is now built with exceptions enabled to avoid libcxx including abort() calls if exceptions are not enabled.
  • The following dependencies were removed stringr, dplyr, purrr, magrittr, reader, vctrs, tidyr, and fs.

RBedrock 0.3.3

  • Fix notes identified by CRAN. (Unused calls to stderr and abort.)
  • Update included leveldb library.

RBedrock 0.3.2

  • Fixed errors in usage of Rf_error().
  • Use R_len_t in more locations.

RBedrock 0.3.1

  • Remove hardcoded C++17 requirement when calling CMake.

RBedrock 0.3.0

  • Added support for reading and writing 1.18.30+ actor digests.
  • Chunk data functions have been expanded.
  • [Breaking Change] Biome functions now return CNC biomes data (CnC biome functions have been renamed.) Accessing legacy biome data can be done with legacy biome functions.
  • [Breaking Change] Chunk data functions and files have been renamed to match internal Mojang names.
  • [Breaking Change] Chunk data functions no longer default to reading all keys from db if no keys are present.
  • [Breaking Change] Chunk tag key descriptions have been changed to better match internal Mojang descriptions.
  • Maximum chunk key tag has been increased to 96.
  • [Breaking Change] Change key format to require prefixes in front of every key. This allows rbedrock to support multiple key formats.
  • Add nbt_raw_string to support reading and writing nbt_string data that contains embedded nulls.
  • Change default parameters to bedrockdb to match Minecraft. This reduces the size of worlds modified by rbedrock.
  • Generate random world seeds using 64-bits.
  • [Fix] Generate default package options on loading rbedrock. This fixes users not being able to find the world directory on Window.
  • Create 1.19+ worlds by default when using create_world()
  • Add functions for reading and writing actors data for a chunk.
  • Add utility functions for working with unique ids.

RBedrock 0.2.0

  • Support subchunk version 9 introduced for Caves and Cliffs.
  • Support Caves and Cliffs’ 3DMaps.
  • Change tag format to @x:z:d:t:s. This change was made because subtags can now be negative.
  • Add locate_blocks() function.
  • Introduce intermediate rnbt (raw nbt) format.
  • Introduce new NBT API based on S3 classes.
  • Remove layer and simplify arguments to get_subchunk_layers_value() and friends.
  • Improved ChunkVersion API
  • Remove -Werror flag used by leveldb on some platforms
  • Added 1.18 example world
  • Add support for 1.18’s empty palettes.
  • Rename chunk tag to match internal bedrock names.
  • Add starts_with option to get_values(), and db$mget_prefix() and bedrock_leveldb_mget_prefix() function.
  • Add get_subchunk_blocks_from_chunk() function to efficiently lead subchunks from a single chunk.
  • Add utility functions for calculating spawning area and simulation area.

RBedrock 0.1.1

  • Fixed errors identified by UBSAN and Valgrind
  • Improved the detection of cmake binary.
  • RBedrock can now be compiled on Solaris using GCC.
  • RBedrock can now be compiled by CRAN’s MacOS builder.
  • Updated README.md
