What rbedrock is
rbedrock is a free R extension package for analyzing and managing Minecraft Bedrock Edition worlds and game saves. It opens supported worlds for reading and writing, with functions covering blocks, biomes, chunks, actors, and other world data. Utilities create, import, export, list, and locate world folders. The package reads and writes NBT data and level.dat files, and includes Bedrock biome and block datasets with block lists, property types, and block states. Random-generation functions handle Minecraft random numbers and seeds. Supported worlds come from Windows 10, Pocket Edition, Xbox, and PS4 Bedrock editions; Minecraft Java worlds are excluded. Listed formats include Bedrock world folders, LevelDB, NBT, and .mcworld. rbedrock runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, is MIT-licensed, and can be installed from CRAN or GitHub. Source builds outside Windows or Mac require development tools including CMake. The package lists 15 dependencies.
