The NBT data format is used to save gameplay for entities, players, and tile entities. This page documents the tags LOTR mod uses and adds for tile entities. The basic idea behind the NBT format and how the LOTR mod uses it can be found here. This page uses the same data-type abbreviations and formats as the mentioned page. The example tags can be used in the /setblock command.

List of Tags

Containers

When a tile entity stores items in slots, it is called a container and has the following tag:

[list] Items: A list of the filled slots of this container.

This list in turn contains one compound tag for every slot filled with an item, the format for which can be found here. Each of the following descriptions will give a slot layout diagram if applicable.
