/*
        Map format serialization version
        --------------------------------
 
        For map data (blocks, nodes, sectors).
 
        NOTE: The goal is to increment this so that saved maps will be
              loadable by any version. Other compatibility is not
                  maintained.
 
        0: original networked test with 1-byte nodes
        1: update with 2-byte nodes
        2: lighting is transmitted in param
        3: optional fetching of far blocks
        4: block compression
        5: sector objects NOTE: block compression was left accidentally out
        6: failed attempt at switching block compression on again
        7: block compression switched on again
        8: server-initiated block transfers and all kinds of stuff
        9: block objects
        10: water pressure
        11: zlib'd blocks, block flags
        12: UnlimitedHeightmap now uses interpolated areas
        13: Mapgen v2
        14: NodeMetadata
        15: StaticObjects
        16: larger maximum size of node metadata, and compression
        17: MapBlocks contain timestamp
        18: new generator (not really necessary, but it's there)
        19: new content type handling
        20: many existing content types translated to extended ones
        21: dynamic content type allocation
        22: minerals removed, facedir & wallmounted changed
        23: new node metadata format
        24: 16-bit node ids and node timers (never released as stable)
        25: Improved node timer format
        26: Never written; read the same as 25
        27: Added light spreading flags to blocks
        28: Added "private" flag to NodeMetadata
        29: Switched compression to zstd, a bit of reorganization
