Syntax

encode_nbt(value)
encode_nbt(value, force)

Encodes value of the expression as an NBT tag. By default (or when force is false), it will only allow to encode values that are guaranteed to return the same value when applied the resulting tag to parse_nbt(). Supported types that can reliably convert back and forth to and from NBT values are:

  • Maps with string keywords
  • Lists of items of the same type (scarpet will take care of unifying value types if possible)
  • Numbers (encoded as Ints -> Longs -> Doubles, as needed)
  • Strings

Other value types will only be converted to tags (including NBT tags) if force is true. They would require extra treatment when loading them back from NBT, but using force true will always produce output / never produce an exception.
