At one point I've had a NBT parser implementation implemented almost fully, but I decided it was not worth the hassle to finish it. The code is currently lost, due to my extensive use of tmpfs as a project directory, and a system crash. Hah, are you me? I also lost some Minecraft server management stuffs written in bash in a tmpfs dir. It was years ago, but I 100% feel your pain. Also, well done! This looks like it was a lot of fun.
