// This is an attempt at creating a uniform model for all NBT tags to allow for a uniform interface based on subclassing a single NBT tag super class.
// NBT tags have a type, optionally a name which consists of the name size and the name string, optionally content type, and optionally a payload which can consist of optionally content type, optionally a content size,
// and the stored content. The format in which they are stored is as follows: <type><name size><name><payload>. All numbers are stored in big endian representation.
// All tag types:
// generic representation: Tag(Byte:tag_type, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, int32:size)
// None (compound end): Tag( 0, "", 0, None, 0) => used to determine the end of a compound tag, only the type gets stored
// byte: Tag( 1, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte:content, 1) => a single signed byte, size not stored
// int16: Tag( 2, String:name, uint16:name_size, int16:content, 2) => 16 bit signed integer, size not stored
// int32: Tag( 3, String:name, uint16:name_size, int32:content, 4) => 32 bit signed integer, size not stored
// int64: Tag( 4, String:name, uint16:name_size, int64:content, 8) => 64 bit signed integer, size not stored
// float32: Tag( 5, String:name, uint16:name_size, float32:content,4) => 32 bit IEEE754 floating point number, size not stored
// float64: Tag( 6, String:name, uint16:name_size, float64:content,8) => 64 bit IEEE754 floating point number, size not stored
// byte[]: Tag( 7, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, int32:size) => content stored prefixed with size
// String: Tag( 8, String:name, uint16:name_size, byte[]:content, uint16:size) => Java style modified UTF-8 string, content stored prefixed with size
// Tag[] (list): Tag<Tag:type>( 9, String:name, uint16:name_size, Tag[]:content, int32:size) => list of tags of the same type with tag type and name information omitted prefixed by (in order) content type and size
// Tag[] (compound): Tag(10, String:name, uint16:name_size, Tag[]:content, int32:size) => list of tags, last tag is always an end tag, size not stored
// int32[]: Tag(11, String:name, uint16:name_size, int32[]:content,int32:size) => list of 32 bit signed integers prefixed with its size, endianness not verified at this point
// int64[]: Tag(12, String:name, uint16:name_size, int64[]:content,int32:size) => list of 64 bit signed integers prefixed with its size, endianness not verified at this point
