|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x05 | Play | Client | Source Position | Position | Source position for the vibration. |
| Destination Identifier | Identifier | Identifier of the destination codec type. | |||
| Destination | Varies | Vanilla default destinations are a block position encoded as a Position for "block" or an entity id encoded as a VarInt for "entity". | |||
| Arrival Ticks | VarInt | Ticks for the signal to arrive at the destination. |

Explosion
Sent when an explosion occurs (creepers, TNT, and ghast fireballs).
Each block in Records is set to air. Coordinates for each axis in record is int(X) + record.x

| 0x1B | Play | Client | X | Float | |
| Y | Float | ||||

| Strength | Float | A strength greater than or equal to 2.0 spawns a minecraft:explosion_emitter particle, while a lesser strength spawns a minecraft:explosion particle.
| |||
| Record Count | Number of elements in the following array. | ||||
| Records | Array of (Byte, Byte, Byte) | Each record is 3 signed bytes long; the 3 bytes are the XYZ (respectively) signed offsets of affected blocks. | |||
| Player Motion X | Float | X velocity of the player being pushed by the explosion. | |||
| Player Motion Y | Float | Y velocity of the player being pushed by the explosion. | |||
| Player Motion Z | Float | Z velocity of the player being pushed by the explosion. |
Initialize World Border
| Packet ID | State | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x20 | Play | Client | X | Double | |
| Z | Double | ||||
| Old Diameter | Double | Current length of a single side of the world border, in meters. | |||
| New Diameter | Double | Target length of a single side of the world border, in meters. | |||
| Speed | VarLong | Number of real-time milliseconds until New Diameter is reached. It appears that Notchian server does not sync world border speed to game ticks, so it gets out of sync with server lag. If the world border is not moving, this is set to 0. | |||
| Portal Teleport Boundary | VarInt | Resulting coordinates from a portal teleport are limited to ±value. Usually 29999984. | |||
| Warning Blocks | VarInt | In meters. | |||
| Warning Time | VarInt | In seconds as set by /worldborder warning time.
|
The Notchian client determines how solid to display the warning by comparing to whichever is higher, the warning distance or whichever is lower, the distance from the current diameter to the target diameter or the place the border will be after warningTime seconds. In pseudocode:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"> distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance); if (playerDistance < distance) {
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;
} else {
warning = 0.0;
} </syntaxhighlight>
Chunk Data
- Main article: Chunk Format
- See also: #Unload Chunk{{#if:| for {{{for}}}}}
 |
The following information needs to be added to this page: |
| How do biomes work now? The biome change happened at the same time as the seed change, but it's not clear how/if biomes could be computed given that it's not the actual seed... (/r/mojira discussion which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether) |
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the Overworld, it's up to the client to know in which dimension the player is currently located. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent. This packet also sends all block entities in the chunk (though sending them is not required; it is still legal to send them with Update Block Entity later).

| Heightmaps | NBT | Compound containing one long array named MOTION_BLOCKING, which is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk (as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totaling 36 longs). The Notchian server also adds a WORLD_SURFACE long array, the purpose of which is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted.

Note that the Notchian client requires an Update View Position packet when it crosses a chunk border, otherwise it'll only display render distance + 2 chunks around the chunk it spawned in.
The compacted array format has been adjusted so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs, affecting the main data array and heightmaps.

Entity Movement
This packet may be used to initialize an entity.
For player entities, either this packet or any move/look packet is sent every game tick. So the meaning of this packet is basically that the entity did not move/look since the last such packet.

Player Position And Look (clientbound)
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.
If the distance between the last known position of the player on the server and the new position set by this packet is greater than 100 meters, the client will be kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”.
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than 3.2E7D the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.
Yaw is measured in degrees, and does not follow classical trigonometry rules. The unit circle of yaw on the XZ-plane starts at (0, 1) and turns counterclockwise, with 90 at (-1, 0), 180 at (0, -1) and 270 at (1, 0). Additionally, yaw is not clamped to between 0 and 360 degrees; any number is valid, including negative numbers and numbers greater than 360.
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.

Window Confirmation (serverbound)
If a confirmation sent by the client was not accepted, the server will reply with a Window Confirmation (clientbound) packet with the Accepted field set to false. When this happens, the client must send this packet to apologize (as with movement), otherwise the server ignores any successive confirmations.
| Packet ID | State | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x07 | Play | Server | Window ID | Byte | The ID of the window that the action occurred in. |
| Action Number | Short | Every action that is to be accepted has a unique number. This number is an incrementing integer (starting at 1) with separate counts for each window ID. | |||
| Accepted | Boolean | Whether the action was accepted. |
Click Window
This packet is sent by the client when the player clicks on a slot in a window.
| Packet ID | State | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x09 | Play | Server | Window ID | Unsigned Byte | The ID of the window which was clicked. 0 for player inventory. | |||
| Slot | Short | The clicked slot number, see below. | ||||||
| Button | Byte | The button used in the click, see below. | ||||||
| Action Number | Short | A unique number for the action, implemented by Notchian as a counter, starting at 1 (different counter for every window ID). Used by the server to send back a Window Confirmation (clientbound). | ||||||

See Inventory for further information about how slots are indexed.
When right-clicking on a stack of items, half the stack will be picked up and half left in the slot. If the stack is an odd number, the half left in the slot will be smaller of the amounts.
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the Mode and Button fields.
| Mode | Button | Slot | Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Normal | Left mouse click |
| 1 | Normal | Right mouse click | |
| 0 | -999 | Left click outside inventory (drop cursor stack) | |
| 1 | -999 | Right click outside inventory (drop cursor single item) | |
| 1 | 0 | Normal | Shift + left mouse click |
| 1 | Normal | Shift + right mouse click (identical behavior) | |
| 2 | 0 | Normal | Number key 1 |
| 1 | Normal | Number key 2 | |
| 2 | Normal | Number key 3 | |
| ⋮ | ⋮ | ⋮ | |
| 8 | Normal | Number key 9 | |
| 3 | 2 | Normal | Middle click, only defined for creative players in non-player inventories. |
| 4 | 0 | Normal* | Drop key (Q) (* Clicked item is always empty) |
| 5 | 0 | -999 | Starting left mouse drag |
| 4 | -999 | Starting right mouse drag | |
| 8 | -999 | Starting middle mouse drag, only defined for creative players in non-player inventories. (Note: the vanilla client will still incorrectly send this for non-creative players - see MC-46584) | |
| 1 | Normal | Add slot for left-mouse drag | |
| 5 | Normal | Add slot for right-mouse drag | |
| 9 | Normal | Add slot for middle-mouse drag, only defined for creative players in non-player inventories. (Note: the vanilla client will still incorrectly send this for non-creative players - see MC-46584) | |
| 2 | -999 | Ending left mouse drag | |
| 6 | -999 | Ending right mouse drag | |
| 10 | -999 | Ending middle mouse drag, only defined for creative players in non-player inventories. (Note: the vanilla client will still incorrectly send this for non-creative players - see MC-46584) | |
| 6 | 0 | Normal | Double click |
Starting from version 1.5, “painting mode” is available for use in inventory windows. It is done by picking up stack of something (more than 1 item), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging held stack over empty (or same type in case of right button) slots. In that case client sends the following to server after mouse button release (omitting first pickup packet which is sent as usual):
- packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);
- packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);
- packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);
If any of the painting packets other than the “progress” ones are sent out of order (for example, a start, some slots, then another start; or a left-click in the middle) the painting status will be reset.
The server will send back a Window Confirmation packet. If the click was not accepted, the client must send a matching serverbound window confirmation packet before sending more Click Window packets, otherwise the server will reject them silently. The Notchian server also sends a Window Items packet for the open window and Set Slot packets for the clicked and cursor slot, but only when the click was not accepted, probably to resynchronize client and server.
Pong
A response to the ping packet. Unknown what this is used for, this is ignored by the Notchian client and server.

Clientbound
There are no clientbound packets in the Handshaking state, since the protocol immediately switches to a different state after the client sends the first packet.
