Raids.dat format

The raids.dat file located in the data folder of every Minecraft level is used to store information about the raids in the level. It is stored as a GZip'd NBT file.
Additional files raids_nether.dat and raids_end.dat are stored in the data folder of respective dimension folders, allowing for raids in other dimensions for villages in those dimensions.
