This page documents the changes from the [[Protocol|last stable Minecraft release]] (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.8.8, protocol 47]]) to the current pre-release (currently [[Protocol version numbers|15w31a, protocol 49]]). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.

There is currently a pre-release version available: 1.21-pre2, but it has not yet been documented. For the latest stable Minecraft release, see the [[Protocol|Protocol]] page. For previous pre-release pages, see the [[Protocol version numbers|Protocol version numbers]] page.
  
 
One who wishes to commandeer the merging of this into [[Protocol]] when an update is made must be sure to respect any changes that may have occurred to the respective packets there.

==== Use Entity ====
 
 
 
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).
 
 
 
A Notchian server only accepts this packet if the entity being attacked/used is visible without obstruction and within a 4-unit radius of the player's position.
 
 
 
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.

==== Player Digging ====
 
 
 
Sent when the player mines a block. A Notchian server only accepts digging packets with coordinates within a 6-unit radius of the player's position.

Status can (currently) be one of six values:
 
 
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Meaning
 
! Value
 
|-
 
| Started digging
 
| <code>0</code>
 
|-
 
| Cancelled digging
 
| <code>1</code>
 
|-
 
| Finished digging
 
| <code>2</code>
 
|-

| <code>4</code>
 
|-
 
| Shoot arrow / finish eating
 
| <code>5</code>
 
|-
 
| Swap item in Hand
 
| <code>6</code>
 
|}
 
 
 
Notchian clients send a 0 (started digging) when they start digging and a 2 (finished digging) once they think they are finished. If digging is aborted, the client simply send a 1 (cancel digging).
 
 
 
Status code 4 (drop item) is a special case. In-game, when you use the Drop Item command (keypress 'q'), a dig packet with a status of 4, and all other values set to 0, is sent from client to server. Status code 3 is similar, but drops the entire stack.
 
 
 
Status code 5 (shoot arrow / finish eating) is also a special case. The x, y and z fields are all set to 0 like above, with the exception of the face field, which is set to 255.
 
 
 
Status code 6 is another special case. Used to swap or assign an item to the second hand. The rest of the fields (x, y, z and face) are all set to 0.
 
 
 
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:
 
 
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-

|-

| Byte
 
|
 
|-
 
| Cursor Position Z
 
| Byte
 
|
 
|}
 
 
 
In normal operation (i.e. placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.
 
 
 
This packet has a special case where X, Y, Z, and Direction are all -1. (Note that Y is unsigned so set to 255.) This special packet indicates that the currently held item for the player should have its state updated such as eating food, pulling back bows, using buckets, etc.
 
 
 
Special note on using buckets: When using buckets, the Notchian client might send two packets: first a normal and then a special case. The first normal packet is sent when you're looking at a block (e.g. the water you want to scoop up). This normal packet does not appear to do anything with a Notchian server. The second, special case packet appears to perform the action — based on current position/orientation and with a distance check — it appears that buckets can only be used within a radius of 6 units.

Note, Notchian clients send a close window message with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an Open Window message for inventory.

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.

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 [[#Confirm Transaction_2|Confirm Transaction]] packet. If the click was not accepted, the client must reflect that packet before sending more [[#Click Window|Click Window]] packets, otherwise the server will reject them silently. The Notchian server also sends a [[#Window Items|Window Items]] packet for the open window and [[#Set Slot|Set Slot]] packets for the clicked and cursor slot, but only when the click was not accepted, probably to resynchronize client and server.
 
 
 
==== Confirm Transaction ====
 
 
 
<SpaceManiac> noooo idea why the serverbound confirm transaction packet exists
 
<SpaceManiac> I think it's sent as a response to the clientbound confirm transaction in some situations, but it's fuzzy

==== Creative Inventory Action ====
 
 
 
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.
 
 
 
Clicking in the creative inventory menu is quite different from non-creative inventory management. Picking up an item with the mouse actually deletes the item from the server, and placing an item into a slot or dropping it out of the inventory actually tells the server to create the item from scratch. (This can be verified by clicking an item that you don't mind deleting, then severing the connection to the server; the item will be nowhere to be found when you log back in.) As a result of this implementation strategy, the "Destroy Item" slot is just a client-side implementation detail that means "I don't intend to recreate this item.". Additionally, the long listings of items (by category, etc.) are a client-side interface for choosing which item to create. Picking up an item from such listings sends no packets to the server; only when you put it somewhere does it tell the server to create the item in that location.
 
 
 
This action can be described as "set inventory slot". Picking up an item sets the slot to item ID -1. Placing an item into an inventory slot sets the slot to the specified item. Dropping an item (by clicking outside the window) effectively sets slot -1 to the specified item, which causes the server to spawn the item entity, etc.. All other inventory slots are numbered the same as the non-creative inventory (including slots for the 2x2 crafting menu, even though they aren't visible in the vanilla client).

==== Player Abilities ====
 
 
 
The latter 2 bytes are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.
 
 
 
The vanilla client sends this packet when the player starts/stops flying with the second parameter changed accordingly. All other parameters are ignored by the vanilla server.

==== Plugin Message ====
 
 
 
Mods and plugins can use this to send their data. Minecraft itself uses a number of [[plugin channel]]s. These internal channels are prefixed with <code>MC|</code>.
 
 
 
More documentation on this: [http://dinnerbone.com/blog/2012/01/13/minecraft-plugin-channels-messaging/ http://dinnerbone.com/blog/2012/01/13/minecraft-plugin-channels-messaging/]
 
 
 
Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.

There is currently a pre-release version available: 1.21-pre2, but it has not yet been documented. For the latest stable Minecraft release, see the Protocol page. For previous pre-release pages, see the Protocol version numbers page.

One who wishes to commandeer the merging of this into Protocol when an update is made must be sure to respect any changes that may have occurred to the respective packets there.
