Flattening data

Should be able to parse this and generate mappings.

Would it not be better to parse the block report which the Minecraft jar is able to generate?

[Defman]

I might be wrong, but are the intent to generate block enum or similar? or is this a reference to issue?
Parsing the blocks.json file and generating code at build time via build.rs would be rather easy.

1. Download minecraft_server.jar.
2. Run the generator to create blocks.json.
3. Parse blocks.json at build time via build.rs if the file has changed.
4. Include the generated code via the include macro.

The block report only exists for 1.13 and up, but my desire is to support versions prior to 1.13 as well. I just left this here in case it might be of some use at some point.

Ahh, that makes sense. Currently, the generation of code is done on byte encoded versions of the JSON file (version.dat)? I would love to make it so that the build.rs downloads the server jar for a given version and generates the block, items, achievements and etc; and then include them in a lib via the include macro. This might be preferred since Mojang have the all do not distribute.
