What rbedrock is

rbedrock is a free R extension package for reading, writing, and managing Minecraft Bedrock Edition worlds and saves. It can open supported worlds for editing and provides utilities to create, import, export, list, and locate world folders. Functions cover blocks, biomes, chunks, actors, and other Bedrock data, while separate tools read and write NBT data and level.dat files. Included datasets describe Bedrock biomes and blocks, including block lists, property types, and block states. The package also includes Minecraft random-number and seed-handling functions. 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, uses the MIT license, and lists 15 dependencies. Installation is available through CRAN, GitHub, or the r-universe command. Source installation outside Windows or Mac requires development tools such as CMake. Reed Cartwright is the named author and maintainer.
