Read and manipulate chunk keys

Description

Chunk keys are keys to chunk data. A chunk key has a format which indicates the chunk it holds data for and the type of data it holds. This format is either chunk:x:z:d:t or chunk:x:z:d:t:s, where x and z indicates the coordinates of the chunk in chunk space, d indicates the dimension of the chunk, and t and s indicate the tag and subtag of the chunk.

parse_chunk_keys() splits chunk keys into their individual elements and returns a table with the results. Keys that do not contain chunk data are silently dropped.

create_chunk_keys() returns a vector of chunk keys formed from its arguments.

chunk_positions() returns a matrix containing the chunk coordinates of keys.

chunk_origins() returns a matrix containing the block coordinate of the NW corner of keys.

chunk_tag_str() and chunk_tag_int() convert between integer and character representations of chunk tags.

Usage

parse_chunk_keys(keys)

create_chunk_keys(x, z, dimension, tag, subtag)

chunk_positions(keys)

chunk_origins(keys)

chunk_tag_str(tags)

chunk_tag_int(tags)

Arguments

keys	A character vector of database keys.
x	Chunk x-coordinate.
z	Chunk z-coordinate.
dimension	Dimension.
tag	The type of chunk data.
subtag	The subchunk the key refers to (Only used for tag 47).
tags	a vector

Examples

parse_chunk_keys("chunk:0:0:0:44")
parse_chunk_keys("chunk:0:0:0:47:1")
create_chunk_keys(0, 0, 0, 47, 1)
