Explicitly licensing the code sections as MIT, would imply people can't use them without also releasing their plugins as MIT. I think relegating it to fair use for educational use...

Would this prevent the chunks from even loading? or is this just a move to save on serialization / sending to the player?

https://github.com/SpongePowered/SpongeAPI/pull/1659 has merged per world view distances FYI.

We should consider having a 'mojangson' option for outputting and parsing, DataContainers to NBT, to string left up to the implementation to implement. This would be the most portable and...

@Cybermaxke my suspicion, at least for SpongeCommon is that it would be easier to just go to NBT then let Minecraft turn it into Mojangson. My hesitations about adding it...

I'd shy away from adding customized parsing capabilities, I'm keen to see something that's portable from vanilla communities. I'm not sure of the maturity of the projects, but they may...

Other options are SNBT (Mojang) or NBTT (MinecraftDev IntelliJ plugin)

For lack of a better place to organize this, I'm putting it under Commands due to Vanilla commands and Brigadier having support for parsing SNBT in 1.13
