I can't find a way of reading the Minecraft world files in a way that i could use in python
I've looked around the internet but can find no tutorials and only a few libraries that claim that they can do this but never actually work
from nbt import *
nbtfile = nbt.NBTFile("r.0.0.mca",'rb')
I expected this to work but instead I got errors about the file not being compressed or something of the sort
Full error:

Use anvil parser. (Install with pip install anvil-parser)
