[Proposal] Refactor for nbt builder

[SettingDust]

Current:

nbtCompound {
    put("id", "minecraft:grass")
    put("Count", 5.toByte())
    put("tag", nbtCompound { put("foo", "bar") })
}

nbtList {
  add(1)
  add("foo")
}

// Should be renamed to `toTag`
1.toByte().toNbt()
"foo".toNbt()

New:

StringTag("foo")
IntTag(1)

Provide a compound tag builder scope. Return a compound tag

compoundTag {
    "id" to "minecraft:air"
    "Count" to ByteTag(5)
    "tag" to compoundTag {
        "type" to "stone"
        "items" to listTag {
            add(StringTag("minecraft:grass"))
        }
        "exclude" to listTag(StringTag("minecraft:stone"))
    }
}

Or(have to set JvmName for functions):

compoundTag {
    "id"("minecraft:air")
    "Count" { ByteTag(5) }
    "tag" { compoundTag {
        "type"("stone")
        "items" { 
          listTag {
              +"minecraft:grass"
              +StringTag("minecraft:grass")
          }
        }
        "exclude" { ListTag(StringTag("minecraft:stone")) }
    } }
}

Mh, I much prefer the current DSL, I am not the biggest fan of these implicit APIs hiding the actual function calls - the only place where I would actually do this might be a simpler version of the text builder.

[SettingDust]

How about the functions for constructing tags just like ByteTag()?

[jakobkmar]

What would be advantage over the currently provided extension functions which do the same?

toNbt need the data type exactly same. Such as 5.toByte().toNbt(). Maybe we can provide two methods at same time

[Amejonah1200]

Wouldn't be possible to have

nbtCompound { 
  "id" to "minecraft:grass"
  "Count" to 5.toByte()
  "tag" {
    "foo" to "bar"
  }
 }

using context receivers?

[SettingDust]

Why can't? I use the extension functions implemented
I don't looking deep into context receiver. But I think it's possible
