      Reads and parses the entire NBT file into a compound tag structure. The method automatically detects compression and handles all the binary format complexities. Since NBT files always have compound tags as roots in Java Edition, this returns an ICompoundTag.
      Returns:
      The root ICompoundTag containing the complete NBT structure
      Throws:
      IOException - If the file cannot be read, is corrupted, or uses an unsupported format
