Blueprint File Format Header

header.smbph

A file that contains information about entity type/class, followed by its boundary around the blueprint. After that, the amount of blocks are listed. Ships also have statistics at the end of the file. Docked entities have their own header file and have no influence on the main entity header file. This file is written using Big-endian.
