-- Accepts a valid target (block or entity) and a string key to output the stringified NBT value at that key.

Key Purification:
(entity | vec) -> [string]

-- Accepts a valid target and returns all valid keys for reading data from that target.

Requires MoreIotas to provide the string IotaType.

Frequently Asked Questions

HexNBT server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is HexNBT compatible with fabric?

HexNBT officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with HexNBT – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HexNBT consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
