Where is chest data stored?

Hi,

I was wondering where chest data is stored in a world's map.

Is it in the level.data? Or is it stored in the region files? Or in some other file?

Thanks in advance.

(This is not really a coding question but I do need this for a plugin.)

 

Does this help?

Code:

Inventory inv = chest.getInventory();

 

Yeah, I think it's level.dat.

 

No not really. Because I want to copy the chest files from a certain folder to replace the old chest files.
I appreciate your help, though.

Okay. I will test that. Thanks.

Nope, it didn't work. I stored some stuff in the chests. Stopped the server, put those files somewhere. Then I turned on the server, looted the chests. Then I deleted the newest files (after I looted the chests) and put back the old files (before I looted the chests) and it didn't work.

It's stored in the region files. You can navigate the raw content of these files by using an NBT editor such as NBTExplorer.

The chest inventories should be stored in Your World -> region -> r.(region x).(region z).mca -> Chunk -> Level -> TileEntities.

So - it's probably easier to use a plugin, instead of working with the region files directly.

Hmm so it would be very hard to just copy those files and then paste them in the world.. right?
You'd probably have write a code that can open such files if you'd only want to have the chests copied. :l

Well, thanks for your help.
