How to store item info?
Just compress it! Of course if you will you ZIP, players will able to just open this zip file and change whatever they want. But you can use less popular compression algorithms which are not supported by default Windows File Explorer. Snappy for example.

PSA: zlib v1.2.12 is kinda broken... (breaks bunch of stuff including Minecraft)
See https://github.com/madler/zlib/issues/613 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74371

Re: Zlib memory corruption on deflate (i.e. compress)
This seems to be a minor bug, in that it is only triggered using unusual (and rather unlikely) deflate parameters.
But, looking into this bug, I was sort-of interested to see how it was handled. The change log for 1.2.12 (2022-03-27) indicates the issue was resolved ("Fix a bug that can crash deflate on some input when using Z_FIXED"). Yet, in what seems to be the canonical Zlib repository (https://github.com/madler/zlib), I was unable to find a corresponding commit.
None of commits this year (7, so not too hard to review) seem to be particularity meaningful changes, and in particular yesterday's 'zlib 1.2.12' commit seems to only consist of version/copyright updates.
So, does anyone have any idea where to find the commits related to the change log entry? (Note that I'm not disputing the issue is actually fixed, I'm just trying to improve my Github reading skills...)
