New page

This page gives a slightly less technical overview of the minecraft protocol.

== Tips ==

* You need to support '''the entire protocol'''. Packets do ''not'' have a length field (although some arrays do) and can't be skipped over, so you will need to write generic support for common [[Data Types|data types]] including the [[Slot Data|slot type]] and the [[Entities#Entity_Metadata_Format|entity metadata format]]. While it's okay to do some initial testing in the style of <code>socket.send('\x01')</code>, the reality is you will need to write a decent type packer/unpacker and define packet structures abstractly.
* Some packets have weird rules, for example in [[Protocol#0x17|0x17 spawn object/vehicle]] the last 3 fields only sent if another field is >0
* When arrays are sent, you'll sometimes get the data length, sometimes the record count (these are the same if the record length = 1 byte), and sometimes both. On occasion you'll need to use the same length field to unpack more than one array
* You will need to unpack arrays of dynamic-length datatypes, as in [[Protocol#0x68|0x68 set window items]]
* Sometimes packets send condensed data in arrays that can be unpacked according to a specific format. However, as the array length is given, this is only necessary if you're actually interested in the data. Examples:
** [[Protocol#0x34|0x34 chunk data]]
** [[Protocol#0x35|0x35 multi block change]]
** [[Protocol#0x38|0x38 map chunk bulk]]
** [[Protocol#0x3C|0x3C explosion]]
** [[Protocol#0xFF|0xFF kick]] when responding to a [[Server List Ping|server list ping]]
* If you want to understand enchantment data sent in [[Slot Data|slot data]], you will need to support [[NBT]]
* You will need to support AES, RSA and sha1 as [[Protocol Encryption|protocol encryption]] is required

== Overview ==
