Minecraft NBT Decoder

This tool decodes Minecraft NBT data into a structured, human-readable form for developers and server operators. It accepts textual SNBT input representing items, entities, blocks, or world data and outputs a parsed tree with type, value, and hierarchical relationships. The approach emphasizes data accessibility for troubleshooting, data validation, and tool integration. It produces both machine-friendly JSON for automation and a readable summary for quick inspection. Use cases include verifying new items' NBT when modding, auditing entity data on a server, or generating summaries for data pipelines and documentation. The decoder supports primitive tag types (byte, short, int, long, float, double, string) as well as arrays and container types (list, compound). A robust, recursive engine ensures nested structures are expanded and preserved in the resulting JSON, with well-defined paths to any field. The tool is designed to be deterministic, with clear error reporting and stable outputs across runs, which is critical for automated modding workflows.
