== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] and [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />

=== Other definitions ===<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points east, and Z points south.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />
|-<br />
| Global palette<br />
| A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on [https://pokechu22.github.io/Burger/1.16.5.html burger].<br />
<br />
Alternatively, the vanilla server now includes an option to export the current block state ID mapping, by running <code>java -cp minecraft_server.jar net.minecraft.data.Main --reports</code>. See [[Data Generators]] for more information.<br />
|-<br />
| Notchian<br />
| The official implementation of vanilla Minecraft as developed and released by Mojang.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Packet format ==<br />
<br />
Packets cannot be larger than 2097151 bytes (the maximum that can be sent in a 3-byte VarInt). For compressed packets, this applies to both the compressed length and uncompressed lengths.<br />
<br />
=== Without compression ===<br />

| Depends on the connection state and packet ID, see the sections below<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet (with a non-negative threshold) is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slightly to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| Data<br />
| Byte Array<br />
| zlib compressed packet data (see the sections below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the size of the buffer containing the packet data and ID (as a VarInt) is smaller than the threshold specified in the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]]. It will be sent as uncompressed. This is done by setting the data length as 0. (Comparable to sending a non-compressed format with an extra 0 between the length, and packet data). <br />
<br />
If it's larger than the threshold, then it follows the regular compressed protocol format.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] with a negative Threshold, or not sending the Set Compression packet at all.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
{{Warning|This packet uses a nonstandard format. It is never length-prefixed, and the packet ID is an Unsigned Byte instead of a VarInt.}}<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

<br />
== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] (optional)<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]]<br />
<br />
Set Compression, if present, must be sent before Login Success. Note that anything sent after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated ("cracked"/offline-mode) and integrated servers (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]]. The Notchian server uses UUID v3 for offline player UUIDs, with the namespace “OfflinePlayer” and the value as the player’s username. For example, Notch’s offline UUID would be derived from the string “OfflinePlayer:Notch”. This is not a requirement however, the UUID may be anything.<br />

This packet switches the connection state to [[#Play|play]].<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|The (notchian) server might take a bit to fully transition to the Play state, so it's recommended to wait before sending Play packets, either by setting a timeout, or waiting for Play packets from the server (usually [[#Player Info|Player Info]]).<br />
<br />
The notchian client doesn't send any (non-[[#Keep Alive|keep alive]]) packets until the next tick/[[#Time Update|time update]] packet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Set Compression ====<br />
<br />
Enables compression. If compression is enabled, all following packets are encoded in the [[#With compression|compressed packet format]]. Negative or zero values will disable compression, meaning the packet format should remain in the [[#Without compression|uncompressed packet format]]. However, this packet is entirely optional, and if not sent, compression will also not be enabled (the notchian server does not send the packet when compression is disabled).<br />

<br />
==== Login Plugin Request ====<br />
<br />
Used to implement a custom handshaking flow together with [[#Login_Plugin_Response | Login Plugin Response]].<br />
<br />
Unlike plugin messages in "play" mode, these messages follow a lock-step request/response scheme, where the client is expected to respond to a request indicating whether it understood. The notchian client always responds that it hasn't understood, and sends an empty payload.<br />

Calculating the center of an image: given a (width × height) grid of cells, with <code>(0, 0)</code> being the top left corner, the center is <code>(max(0, width / 2 - 1), height / 2)</code>. E.g. <code>(1, 0)</code> for a 2×1 painting, or <code>(1, 2)</code> for a 4×4 painting.<br />
<br />
List of paintings by coordinates in <code>paintings_kristoffer_zetterstrand.png</code> (where x and y are in pixels from the top left and width and height are in pixels or 16ths of a block):<br />

==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />

When in {{Minecraft Wiki|Server.properties#online-mode|online mode}}, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.<br />
<br />
In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive). The Notchain server uses <code>UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes</code>, implemented by OpenJDK [https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk8u/blob/9a91972c76ddda5c1ce28b50ca38cbd8a30b7a72/jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/UUID.java#L153-L175 here].<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
Block break animations can still be applied on air; the animation will remain visible although there is no block being broken. However, if this is applied to a transparent block, odd graphical effects may happen, including water losing its transparency. (An effect similar to this can be seen in normal gameplay when breaking ice blocks)<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID. The entity ID does not need to correspond to an actual entity on the client. It is valid to use a randomly generated number.<br />

==== Block Action ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used for a number of actions and animations performed by blocks, usually non-persistent.<br />
<br />
See [[Block Actions]] for a list of values.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|This packet uses a block ID, not a block state.}}<br />

==== Block Change ====<br />
<br />
Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a ''shared'' empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.}}<br />

| Window ID<br />
| Byte<br />
| The window which is being updated. 0 for player inventory. Note that all known window types include the player inventory. This packet will only be sent for the currently opened window while the player is performing actions, even if it affects the player inventory. After the window is closed, a number of these packets are sent to update the player's inventory window (0).<br />

| <br />
|}<br />
<br />
To set the cursor (the item currently dragged with the mouse), use -1 as Window ID and as Slot.<br />
<br />
This packet can only be used to edit the hotbar of the player's inventory if window ID is set to 0 (slots 36 through 44). If the window ID is set to -2, then any slot in the inventory can be used but no add item animation will be played.<br />
<br />
==== Set Cooldown ====<br />
<br />
Applies a cooldown period to all items with the given type. Used by the Notchian server with enderpearls. This packet should be sent when the cooldown starts and also when the cooldown ends (to compensate for lag), although the client will end the cooldown automatically. Can be applied to any item, note that interactions still get sent to the server with the item but the client does not play the animation nor attempt to predict results (i.e block placing).<br />

| Speed<br />
| VarLong<br />
| Number of real-time ''milli''seconds 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.<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"><br />
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);<br />
if (playerDistance < distance) {<br />
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;<br />
} else {<br />
warning = 0.0;<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive (clientbound) ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same payload (see [[#Keep Alive (serverbound)|serverbound Keep Alive]]). If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.<br />

{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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 [[#Block Entity Data|Block Entity Data]] later).<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1023 (wither spawn), effect 1028 (enderdragon death), and effect 1038 (end portal opening); it is ignored on other effects.<br />

| [[Slot]]<br />
| The first item the player has to supply for this villager trade. The count of the item stack is the default "price" of this trade.<br />
|-<br />
| Output item<br />
| [[Slot]]<br />
| The item the player will receive from this villager trade.<br />
|-<br />
| Has second item<br />
| Boolean<br />
| Whether there is a second item.<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Trade disabled<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True if the trade is disabled; false if the trade is enabled.<br />
|-<br />
| Number of trade uses<br />
| Integer<br />
| Number of times the trade has been used so far. If equal to the maximum number of trades, the client will display a red X.<br />
|-<br />
| Maximum number of trade uses<br />
| Integer<br />
| Number of times this trade can be used before it's exhausted.<br />
|-<br />
| XP<br />
| Integer<br />
| Amount of XP both the player and the villager will earn each time the trade is used.<br />
|-<br />
| Special Price<br />
| Integer<br />
| Can be zero or negative. The number is added to the price when an item is discounted due to player reputation or other effects.<br />
|-<br />
| Price Multiplier<br />
| Float<br />
| Can be low (0.05) or high (0.2). Determines how much demand, player reputation, and temporary effects will adjust the price.<br />
|-<br />
| Demand<br />
| Integer<br />
| Can be zero or a positive number. Causes the price to increase when a trade is used repeatedly.<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Villager level<br />
|colspan="2"| VarInt<br />

|colspan="2"| VarInt<br />
| Total experience for this villager (always 0 for the wandering trader).<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Is regular villager<br />
|colspan="2"| Boolean<br />
| True if this is a regular villager; false for the wandering trader. When false, hides the villager level and some other GUI elements.<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Can restock<br />
|colspan="2"| Boolean<br />
| True for regular villagers and false for the wandering trader. If true, the "Villagers restock up to two times per day." message is displayed when hovering over disabled trades.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Modifiers can increase or decrease the number of items for the first input slot. The second input slot and the output slot never change the nubmer of items. The number of items may never be less than 1, and never more than the stack size. If special price and demand are both zero, only the default price is displayed. If either is non-zero, then the adjusted price is displayed next to the crossed-out default price. The adjusted prices is calculated as follows:<br />
<br />
Adjusted price = default price + floor(default price x multiplier x demand) + special price<br />

==== Entity Position ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 8 blocks; if an entity moves more than 8 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And <code>32768 / (128 * 32)</code> = 8.<br />

==== Entity Position and Rotation ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a short range is limited from -32768 to 32767, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction. (<code>-32768 / (32 * 128) == -8</code>)<br />

The Property field looks as in the response of [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]], except of course using the protocol format instead of JSON. That is, each player will usually have one property with Name “textures” and Value being a base64-encoded JSON string as documented at [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]]. An empty properties array is also acceptable, and will cause clients to display the player with one of the two default skins depending on UUID.<br />
<br />
Ping values correspond with icons in the following way:<br />
* A ping that negative (i.e. not known to the server yet) will result in the no connection icon.<br />
* A ping under 150 milliseconds will result in 5 bars<br />
* A ping under 300 milliseconds will result in 4 bars<br />
* A ping under 600 milliseconds will result in 3 bars<br />
* A ping under 1000 milliseconds (1 second) will result in 2 bars<br />
* A ping greater than or equal to 1 second will result in 1 bar.<br />

==== Player Position And Look (clientbound) ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />

| Boolean<br />
| If false, metadata is reset on the respawned player entity. Set to true for dimension changes (including the dimension change triggered by sending client status perform respawn to exit the end poem/credits), and false for normal respawns.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />
<br />
==== Entity Head Look ====<br />
<br />
Changes the direction an entity's head is facing.<br />
<br />
While sending the Entity Look packet changes the vertical rotation of the head, sending this packet appears to be necessary to rotate the head horizontally.<br />

==== Camera ====<br />
<br />
Sets the entity that the player renders from. This is normally used when the player left-clicks an entity while in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The player's camera will move with the entity and look where it is looking. The entity is often another player, but can be any type of entity. The player is unable to move this entity (move packets will act as if they are coming from the other entity).<br />
<br />
If the given entity is not loaded by the player, this packet is ignored. To return control to the player, send this packet with their entity ID.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server resets this (sends it back to the default entity) whenever the spectated entity is killed or the player sneaks, but only if they were spectating an entity. It also sends this packet whenever the player switches out of spectator mode (even if they weren't spectating an entity).<br />

<br />
Updates the client's location. This is used to determine what chunks should remain loaded and if a chunk load should be ignored; chunks outside of the view distance may be unloaded.<br />
<br />
Sent whenever the player moves across a chunk border horizontally, and also (according to testing) for any integer change in the vertical axis, even if it doesn't go across a chunk section border.<br />

==== Entity Velocity ====<br />
<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms); for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client. The collector entity can be any entity; it does not have to be a player. The collected entity also can be any entity, but the Notchian server only uses this for items, experience orbs, and the different varieties of arrows.<br />

==== Chat Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.<br />
<br />
If the message starts with a <code>/</code>, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate [[chat]] component, "<code>chat.type.text</code>" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message. See [[Chat#Processing chat|processing chat]] for more information.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Close Window (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.<br />
<br />
Notchian clients send a Close Window packet with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an [[#Open Window|Open Window]] packet for the inventory.<br />

==== Interact Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The target X, Y, and Z fields represent the difference between the vector location of the cursor at the time of the packet and the entity's position.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
Checking for moving too fast is achieved like this:<br />
<br />
* Each server tick, the player's current position is stored<br />
* When a player moves, the changes in x, y, and z coordinates are compared with the positions from the previous tick (&Delta;x, &Delta;y, &Delta;z)<br />
* Total movement distance squared is computed as &Delta;x&sup2; + &Delta;y&sup2; + &Delta;z&sup2;<br />
* The expected movement distance squared is computed as velocityX&sup2; + velocityY&sup2; + velocityZ&sup2;<br />
* If the total movement distance squared value minus the expected movement distance squared value is more than 100 (300 if the player is using an elytra), they are moving too fast.<br />
<br />
If the player is moving too fast, it will be logged that "<player> moved too quickly! " followed by the change in x, y, and z, and the player will be teleported back to their current (before this packet) serverside position.<br />
<br />
Also, if the absolute value of X or the absolute value of Z is a value greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup>, or X, Y, or Z are not finite (either positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN), the client will be kicked for “Invalid move player packet received”.<br />

==== Player Rotation ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw and pitch of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, y0, z0) and looking towards point (x, y, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
dx = x-x0<br />
dy = y-y0<br />
dz = z-z0<br />
r = sqrt( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )<br />
yaw = -atan2(dx,dz)/PI*180<br />
if yaw < 0 then<br />
yaw = 360 + yaw<br />
pitch = -arcsin(dy/r)/PI*180<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Movement ====<br />
<br />
This packet as well as [[#Player Position|Player Position]], [[#Player Look|Player Look]], and [[#Player Position And Look 2|Player Position And Look]] are called the “serverbound movement packets”. Vanilla clients will send Player Position once every 20 ticks even for a stationary player.<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

==== Pick Item ====<br />
<br />
Used to swap out an empty space on the hotbar with the item in the given inventory slot. The Notchain client uses this for pick block functionality (middle click) to retrieve items from the inventory.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The server will first search the player's hotbar for an empty slot, starting from the current slot and looping around to the slot before it. If there are no empty slots, it will start a second search from the current slot and find the first slot that does not contain an enchanted item. If there still are no slots that meet that criteria, then the server will use the currently selected slot.<br />
<br />
After finding the appropriate slot, the server swaps the items and then send 3 packets:<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

<br />
Teleports the player to the given entity. The player must be in spectator mode.<br />

The Notchian client only uses this to teleport to players, but it appears to accept any type of entity. The entity does not need to be in the same dimension as the player; if necessary, the player will be respawned in the right world. If the given entity cannot be found (or isn't loaded), this packet will be ignored. It will also be ignored if the player attempts to teleport to themselves.<br />

|-<br />
| Inside block<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True when the player's head is inside of a block.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Upon placing a block, this packet is sent once.<br />
<br />
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixels in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.<br />
<br />
Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision. In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes. For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle. This value is only true when the player is directly in the box. In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance). <br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<br />
<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val >> 12) & 0x3FFFFFF;<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

<br />
== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states with bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes the given value is always used, and will be <= 3<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

Palette palette = ChoosePalette(bitsPerBlock);<br />
palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

}<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetZ());<br />

<br />
int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states with bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes with bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

Palette palette = ChoosePalette(bitsPerBlock);<br />
palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />

int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

<br />
== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

for (int i = 0; i < blockEntityCount; i++) {<br />
CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />
byte bitsPerBlock = ReadByte(data);<br />
Palette palette = ChoosePalette(bitsPerBlock);<br />
palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />
uint individualValueMask = (uint)((1 << bitsPerBlock) - 1);<br />
<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

}<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetZ());<br />

<br />
int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

for (int i = 0; i < blockEntityCount; i++) {<br />
CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />
byte bitsPerBlock = ReadByte(data);<br />
Palette palette = ChoosePalette(bitsPerBlock);<br />
palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />
uint individualValueMask = (uint)((1 << bitsPerBlock) - 1);<br />
<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

}<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetZ());<br />

<br />
int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />

| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetZ());<br />

<br />
int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

}<br />
}<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

for (int i = 0; i < blockEntityCount; i++) {<br />
CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

Palette palette = ChoosePalette(bitsPerBlock);<br />
palette.Read(data);<br />
<br />
// A bitmask that contains bitsPerBlock set bits<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

} else {<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />
BlockState state = palette.StateForId(data);<br />
section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />

}<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />

int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />

<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />

section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />

<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />

int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

<hr />
<div>This article describes in additional detail the format of the [[Protocol#Chunk Data|Chunk Data]] packet.<br />
<br />
== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />

=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />
=== Biomes ===<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation; To be exact, it uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram Voronoi diagram] biome noise/smoothing based on the hashed seed sent when joining a world)}}<br />
<br />
The biomes array is only present when full chunk is set to true. Biomes cannot be changed unless a chunk is re-sent.<br />
<br />
The structure is an array of 1024 integers, each representing a {{Minecraft Wiki|Biome/ID|Biome ID}} (it is recommended that "Void" is used if there is no set biome - its default id is 127). The array is ordered by x then z then y, in 4&times;4&times;4 blocks. The array is indexed by <code>((y >> 2) & 63) << 4 {{!}} ((z >> 2) & 3) << 2 {{!}} ((x >> 2) & 3)</code>.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />

| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />
if (full) {<br />
chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />

<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

<br />
int dataArrayLength = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />
uint data;<br />
if (startLong == endLong) {<br />

<br />
// data should always be valid for the palette<br />
// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />
// you're probably reading light data instead<br />
<br />

section.SetState(x, y, z, state);<br />
}<br />

}<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetX());<br />
WriteInt(data, chunk.GetZ());<br />

<br />
int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

<hr />
<div>This article describes in additional detail the format of the [[Protocol#Chunk Data|Chunk Data]] packet.<br />
<br />
== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />

{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />
<br />
=== Full chunk ===<br />
<br />
The '''full chunk''' value is one of the more confusing properties of the chunk data packet. It controls two different behaviors of the chunk data packet, one that most people need, and one that most don't.<br />
<br />
When full chunk is set to true, the chunk data packet is used to create a ''new'' chunk. This includes biome data, and all (non-empty) sections in the chunk. Sections not specified in the primary bit mask are empty sections.<br />
<br />
When full chunk is false, then the chunk data packet acts as a large [[Protocol#Multi Block Change|Multi Block Change]] packet, changing all of the blocks in the given section at once. This can have some performance benefits, especially for lighting purposes. Biome data is ''not'' sent when full chunk is false; that means that biomes can't be changed once a chunk is loaded. Sections not specified in the primary bit mask are not changed and should be left as-is.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|As with [[Protocol#Multi Block Change|Multi Block Change]] and [[Protocol#Block Change|Block Change]], it is not safe to send this packet in unloaded chunks, as it can corrupt notchian client's shared empty chunk. Clients should ''ignore'' such packets, and servers should not send non-full-chunk chunk data packets into unloaded chunks.}}<br />

=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />
=== Biomes ===<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation; To be exact, it uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram Voronoi diagram] biome noise/smoothing based on the hashed seed sent when joining a world)}}<br />
<br />
The biomes array is only present when full chunk is set to true. Biomes cannot be changed unless a chunk is re-sent.<br />
<br />
The structure is an array of 1024 integers, each representing a {{Minecraft Wiki|Biome/ID|Biome ID}} (it is recommended that "Void" is used if there is no set biome - its default id is 127). The array is ordered by x then z then y, in 4&times;4&times;4 blocks. The array is indexed by <code>((y >> 2) & 63) << 4 {{!}} ((z >> 2) & 3) << 2 {{!}} ((x >> 2) & 3)</code>.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />
|-<br />
| Block states<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 4096 entries, representing all the blocks in the chunk section<br />
|-<br />
| Biomes<br />
| [[#Paletted Container structure|Paletted Container]]<br />
| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />
<br />

| Data Array<br />
| Array of Long<br />
| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />

}<br />
<br />

}<br />
<br />

UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />

<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />

int mask = 0;<br />
Buffer columnBuffer = new Buffer();<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if (!chunk.IsSectionEmpty(sectionY)) {<br />
mask |= (1 << chunkY); // Set that bit to true in the mask<br />
WriteChunkSection(chunk.Sections[sectionY], columnBuffer);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />

== Concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Chunks columns and Chunk sections ===<br />
<br />
You've probably heard the term "chunk" before. Minecraft uses chunks to store and transfer world data. However, there are actually 2 different concepts that are both called "chunks" in different contexts: chunk columns and chunk sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk column}}A '''chunk column''' is a 16&times;256&times;16 collection of blocks, and is what most players think of when they hear the term "chunk". However, these are not the smallest unit data is stored in in the game; chunk columns are actually 16 chunk sections aligned vertically.<br />
<br />
Chunk columns store biomes, block entities, entities, tick data, and an array of sections.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Chunk section}}A '''chunk section''' is a 16&times;16&times;16 collection of blocks (chunk sections are cubic). This is the actual area that blocks are stored in, and is often the concept Mojang refers to via "chunk". Breaking columns into sections wouldn't be useful, except that you don't need to send all chunk sections in a column: If a section is empty, then it doesn't need to be sent (more on this later).<br />
<br />
Chunk sections store blocks and light data (both block light and sky light). Additionally, they can be associated with a [[#Section palette|section palette]]. A chunk section can contain at maximum 4096 (16&times;16&times;16, or 2<sup>12</sup>) unique IDs (but, it is highly unlikely that such a section will occur in normal circumstances).<br />
<br />
Chunk columns and chunk sections are both displayed when chunk border rendering is enabled (<kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>). Chunk columns borders are indicated via the red vertical lines, while chunk sections borders are indicated by the blue lines.<br />
<br />
=== Empty sections and the primary bit mask ===<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, chunk sections can be '''empty'''. Sections which contain no useful data are treated as empty<ref group="concept note">Empty is defined by the notchian server as being composed of all air, but this can result in lighting issues ([https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-80966 MC-80966]). Custom servers should consider defining empty to mean something like "completely air and without lighting data" or "completely air and with no blocks in the neighboring sections that need to be lit by light from this section".</ref>, and are not sent to the client, as the client is able to infer the contents<ref group="concept note">Generally meaning, "it's all air". Of course, lighting is an issue as with before - the notchian client assumes 0 block light and 15 sky light, even when that's not valid (underground sections shouldn't be skylit, and sections near light sources should be lit).</ref>. For the average world, this means around 60% of the world's data doesn't need to be sent, since it's all air; this is a significant save.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that a chunk composed entirely of empty sections is different from an empty (ie, unloaded) chunk column. When a block is changed in an empty section, the section is created (as all air), and the block is set. When a block is changed in an empty chunk, the behavior is undefined (but generally, nothing happens).<br />
<br />
The '''primary bit mask''' simply determines which sections are being sent. The least significant bit is for the lowest section (y=0 to y=15). Only 16 bits can be set in it (with the 16th bit controlling the y=240 to y=255 section); sections above y=255 are not valid for the notchian client. To check whether a section is included, use <span style="white-space:nowrap"><syntaxhighlight lang="c" inline>((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0)</syntaxhighlight></span>.<br />
<br />
=== Global and section palettes ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed_palette.png|thumb|Illustration of an indexed palette ([[Commons:File:Indexed_palette.png|Source]])]]<br />
<br />
Minecraft also uses palettes. A palette maps numeric IDs to block states. The concept is more commonly used with colors in an image; Wikipedia's articles on [[Wikipedia:Color look-up table|color look-up tables]], [[Wikipedia:Indexed color|indexed colors]], and [[Wikipedia:Palette (computing)|palettes in general]] may be helpful for fully grokking it.<br />
<br />
There are 2 palettes that are used in the game: the global palette and the section palette.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Global palette}}The '''global palette''' is the standard mapping of IDs to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. Note that the global palette is currently represented by 15 bits per entry<ref group="concept note">The number of bits in the global palette via the ceil of a base-2 logarithm of the highest value in the palette.</ref>. If a block is not found in the global palette, it will be treated as air. The [[Data Generators]] system can be used to generate a list of all values in the current global palette.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Don't assume that the global palette will always be like this; keep it in a separate function. The format of it was changed in 1.13 as part of the flattening, and might change further in the future (although it's less likely) now that the 1.13 changes have been made. Equally so, though, do not hardcode the total size of the palette; keep it in a constant.}}<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Section palette}}A '''section palette''' is used to map IDs within a [[#Chunk section|chunk section]] to global palette IDs. Other than skipping empty sections, correct use of the section palette is the biggest place where data can be saved. Given that most sections contain only a few blocks, using 15 bits to represent a chunk section that is only stone, gravel, and air would be extremely wasteful. Instead, a list of IDs are sent mapping indexes to global palette IDs (for instance, <code>0x10 0xD0 0x00</code>), and indexes within the section palette are used (so stone would be sent as <code>0</code>, gravel <code>1</code>, and air <code>2</code>)<ref group="concept note">There is no requirement for IDs in a section palette to be [[Wikipedia:Monotonic|monotonic]]; the order within the list is entirely arbitrary and often has to deal with how the palette is built (if it finds a stone block before an air block, stone can come first). (However, although the order of the section palette entries can be arbitrary, it can theoretically be optimized to ensure the maximum possible GZIP compression. This optimization offers little to no gain, so generally do not attempt it.) However, there shouldn't be any gaps in the section palette, as gaps would increase the size of the section palette when it is sent.</ref>. The number of bits per ID in the section palette varies from 4 to 8; if fewer than 4 bits would be needed it's increased to 4<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes smaller than 4 are not used in the section palette because it would require the palette to be resized several times as it is built in the majority of cases; the processing cost would be higher than the data saved.</ref> and if more than 8 would be needed, the section palette is not used and instead global palette IDs are used<ref group="concept note">Most likely, sizes larger than 8 use the global palette because otherwise, the amount of data used to transmit the palette would exceed the savings that the section palette would grant.</ref>.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Note that the notchian client (and server) store their chunk data within the compacted, paletted format. Sending non-compacted data not only wastes bandwidth, but also leads to increased memory use clientside; while this is OK for an initial implementation it is strongly encouraged that one compacts the block data as soon as possible.}}<br />
<br />
=== Full chunk ===<br />
<br />
The '''full chunk''' value is one of the more confusing properties of the chunk data packet. It controls two different behaviors of the chunk data packet, one that most people need, and one that most don't.<br />
<br />
When full chunk is set to true, the chunk data packet is used to create a ''new'' chunk. This includes biome data, and all (non-empty) sections in the chunk. Sections not specified in the primary bit mask are empty sections.<br />
<br />
When full chunk is false, then the chunk data packet acts as a large [[Protocol#Multi Block Change|Multi Block Change]] packet, changing all of the blocks in the given section at once. This can have some performance benefits, especially for lighting purposes. Biome data is ''not'' sent when full chunk is false; that means that biomes can't be changed once a chunk is loaded. Sections not specified in the primary bit mask are not changed and should be left as-is.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|As with [[Protocol#Multi Block Change|Multi Block Change]] and [[Protocol#Block Change|Block Change]], it is not safe to send this packet in unloaded chunks, as it can corrupt notchian client's shared empty chunk. Clients should ''ignore'' such packets, and servers should not send non-full-chunk chunk data packets into unloaded chunks.}}<br />

<br />
=== Heightmaps structure ===<br />
A nameless NBT TAG_Compound containing two entries of TAG_Long_Array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> and <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> (in upper case exactly as shown).<br />
<br />
Purpose of <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted. For the Superflat heightmap world example below the values transmitted in <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> array are identical to values transmitted in the <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> array.<br />
<br />
==== MOTION_BLOCKING encoding ====<br />
<code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code> is a heightmap for the highest solid block at each position in the chunk. It's encoded as a compacted long array with 256 entries at 9 bits per entry totalling 37 longs. <br />
<br />
The heightmap values are encoded as 9-bit unsigned values, at seven entries per each long, i.e. occupying 63 bits of a given long. It's padded at the right side with a single zero, so each long is self-contained and the encoded values do not overflow into the next long. <br />
<br />
There are 36 fully filled longs and one half-filled with only four 9-bit entries. The half-filled long is padded the same way as the fully filled ones. <br />
<br />
For the classic superflat world the heightmap contains 36 long values with hex values of <code>0100804020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This encodes heightmap of the superflat world, with value "2" for each column (why it is 2 and not 3 is not yet clear).<br />
<br />
This is followed by one more long, with hex value of <code>0000000020100804</code> that translates into height map values of: <br />
<br />
<code><br />
000000000 000000000 000000000 000000010 000000010 000000010 000000010 0<br />
</code><br />
<br />
This adds up to 256 values in total for 256 columns of the chunk. Last three 9-bit values of the last long are unused.<br />
<br />
=== Biomes ===<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation; To be exact, it uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram Voronoi diagram] biome noise/smoothing based on the hashed seed sent when joining a world)}}<br />
<br />
The biomes array is only present when full chunk is set to true. Biomes cannot be changed unless a chunk is re-sent.<br />
<br />
The structure is an array of 1024 integers, each representing a {{Minecraft Wiki|Biome/ID|Biome ID}} (it is recommended that "Void" is used if there is no set biome - its default id is 127). The array is ordered by x then z then y, in 4&times;4&times;4 blocks. The array is indexed by <code>((y >> 2) & 63) << 4 {{!}} ((z >> 2) & 3) << 2 {{!}} ((x >> 2) & 3)</code>.<br />
<br />

=== Chunk Section structure ===<br />
<br />
==== Chunk Section ====<br />
<br />
A Chunk Section is defined in terms of other [[data types]]. A Chunk Section consists of the following fields:<br />

|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />

| Block count<br />
| Short<br />
| Number of non-air blocks present in the chunk section. "Non-air" is defined as any block other than air, cave air, and void air (in particular, note that fluids such as water are still counted). The client uses this to unload chunks empty chunks. It will keep count of the blocks as they are broken/placed and if this integer reaches 0 the whole chunk section is not rendered, even though there may still be blocks left, if the server sends an incorrect block count.<br />

| Consists of 64 entries, representing 4x4x4 biome regions in the chunk section<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Paletted Container structure ====<br />
<br />
A Paletted Container is a palette-based storage of entries. Paletted Containers have an associated global palette (either block states or biomes as of now), where values are mapped from. A Paletted Container consists of the following fields:<br />

| Compacted list of indices pointing to entry IDs in the Palette. When Bits Per Entry is 0, this array is empty (see [[#Single valued|Single valued palette]])<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Data Array is given for each entry with increasing x coordinates, within rows of increasing z coordinates, within layers of increasing y coordinates.<br />
<br />
===== Palettes =====<br />
<br />
The bits per entry value determines what format is used for the palette. In most cases, invalid values will be interpreted as a different value when parsed by the notchian client, meaning that chunk data will be parsed incorrectly if you use an invalid bits per entry. Servers must make sure that the bits per entry value is correct. There are currently three types of palettes:<br />
<br />
====== Single valued ======<br />
<br />
This format is used when bits per entry is equal to 0, and signifies that the palette contains a single value. When this palette is used, the Data Array sent/received is empty, since entries can be inferred from the palette's single value.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|- {{added}}<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Value<br />
| VarInt<br />
| ID of the corresponding entry in its global palette<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Indirect ======<br />
<br />
There are three variants of this:<br />
<br />
* For block states and bits per entry <= 4, 4 bits are used to represent a block.<br />
* For block states and bits per entry between 5 and 8, the given value is used.<br />
* For biomes and bits per entry <= 3, the given value is used.<br />
<br />
This is an actual palette which lists the entries used. Values in the chunk section's data array are indices into the palette, which in turn gives a proper entry.<br />
<br />
The format is as follows:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Palette Length<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Number of elements in the following array.<br />
|-<br />
| Palette<br />
| Array of VarInt<br />
| Mapping of entry IDs in the global palette to indices of this array<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====== Direct ======<br />
<br />
This format is used for bits per entry values greater than or equal to a threshold (9 for block states, 4 for biomes). The number of bits used to represent an entry is the base 2 logarithm of the number of entries in the global palette, rounded up. For the current vanilla release, this is 15 bits per entry for block states, and 6 bits per entry for biomes.<br />
<br />
The "palette" uses the following format:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Field Name<br />
! Field Type<br />
! Notes<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="3"| ''no fields''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If Minecraft Forge is installed and a sufficiently large number of blocks are added, the bits per block value for the global palette will be increased to compensate for the increased ID count. This increase can go up to 16 bits per block (for a total of 4096 block IDs; when combined with the 16 damage values, there are 65536 total states). You can get the number of blocks with the "Number of ids" field found in the [[Minecraft Forge Handshake#RegistryData|RegistryData packet in the Forge Handshake]].<br />
<br />
==== Compacted data array ====<br />
<br />
The data array stores several entries within a single long, and sometimes overlaps one entry between multiple longs. For a bits per block value of 15, the data is stored such that bits 1 through 15 are the first entry, 16 through 30 are the second, and so on. Note that bit 1 is the ''least'' significant bit in this case, not the most significant bit. The same behavior applies when a value stretches between two longs: for instance, block 5 would be bits 57 through 64 of the first long and then bits 1 through 6 of the second long.<br />
<br />
The Data Array, although varying in length, will never be padded due to the number of blocks being evenly divisible by 64, which is the number of bits in a long.<br />
<br />
However, the compacted array format has been adjusted between MC 1.15 and MC 1.16 so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs.<br />
<br />

== Tips and notes ==<br />
<br />
There are several things that can make it easier to implement this format.<br />
<br />
* The <code>15</code> value for full bits per block is likely to change in the future, so it should not be hardcoded (instead, it should either be calculated or left as a constant).<br />
* Servers do <em>not</em> need to implement the palette initially (instead always using 15 bits per block), although it is an important optimization later on.<br />
* The Notchian server implementation does not send values that are out of bounds for the palette. If such a value is received, the format is being parsed incorrectly. In particular, if you're reading a number with all bits set (15, 31, etc), you might be reading skylight data (or you may have a sign error and you're reading negative numbers).<br />
* The number of longs needed for the data array can be calculated as ((16&times;16&times;16 blocks)&times;Bits per block)&divide;64 bits per long (which simplifies to 64&times;Bits per block). For instance, 14 bits per block requires 896 longs.<br />
<br />
Also, note that the Notchian client does not render chunks that lack neighbors. This means that if you only send a fixed set of chunks (and not chunks around the player) then the last chunk will not be seen, although you can still interact with it. This is intended behavior, so that lighting and connected blocks can be handled correctly.<br />
<br />
== Sample implementations ==<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|This sample code is missing the heightmap, biome changes and the changes from 1.16}}<br />
<br />
How the chunk format can be implemented varies largely by how you want to read/write it. It is often easier to read/write the data long-by-long instead of pre-create the data to write; however, storing the chunk data arrays in their packed form can be far more efficient memory- and performance-wise. These implementations are simple versions that can work as a base (especially for dealing with the bit shifting), but are not ideal.<br />
<br />
=== Shared code ===<br />
<br />
This is some basic pseudocode that shows the various types of palettes. It does not handle actually populating the palette based on data in a chunk section; handling this is left as for the implementer since there are many ways of doing so. (This does not apply for the direct version).<br />

=== Deserializing ===<br />
<br />
When deserializing, it is easy to read to a buffer (since length information is present). A basic example:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public Chunk ReadChunkDataPacket(Buffer data) {<br />
int x = ReadInt(data);<br />
int z = ReadInt(data);<br />
bool full = ReadBool(data);<br />
Chunk chunk;<br />

chunk = new Chunk(x, z);<br />
} else {<br />
chunk = GetExistingChunk(x, z);<br />
}<br />
int mask = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
int size = ReadVarInt(data);<br />
ReadChunkColumn(chunk, full, mask, data.ReadByteArray(size));<br />
<br />

CompoundTag tag = ReadCompoundTag(data);<br />
chunk.AddBlockEntity(tag.GetInt("x"), tag.GetInt("y"), tag.GetInt("z"), tag);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return chunk;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ReadChunkColumn(Chunk chunk, bool full, int mask, Buffer data) {<br />
for (int sectionY = 0; sectionY < (CHUNK_HEIGHT / SECTION_HEIGHT); y++) {<br />
if ((mask & (1 << sectionY)) != 0) { // Is the given bit set in the mask?<br />

UInt64[] dataArray = ReadUInt64Array(data, dataArrayLength);<br />
<br />
ChunkSection section = new ChunkSection();<br />
<br />
for (int y = 0; y < SECTION_HEIGHT; y++) {<br />
for (int z = 0; z < SECTION_WIDTH; z++) {<br />
for (int x = 0; x < SECTION_WIDTH; x++) {<br />
int blockNumber = (((y * SECTION_HEIGHT) + z) * SECTION_WIDTH) + x;<br />
int startLong = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) / 64;<br />
int startOffset = (blockNumber * bitsPerBlock) % 64;<br />
int endLong = ((blockNumber + 1) * bitsPerBlock - 1) / 64;<br />
<br />

// If you're reading a power of 2 minus one (15, 31, 63, 127, etc...) that's out of bounds,<br />

<br />

<br />
=== Serializing ===<br />
<br />
Serializing the packet is more complicated, because of the palette. It is easy to implement with the full bits per block value; implementing it with a compacting palette is much harder since algorithms to generate and resize the palette must be written. As such, this example <strong>does not generate a palette</strong>. The palette is a good performance improvement (as it can significantly reduce the amount of data sent), but managing that is much harder and there are a variety of ways of implementing it.<br />
<br />
Also note that this implementation doesn't handle situations where full is false (ie, making a large change to one section); it's only good for serializing a full chunk.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp"><br />
public void WriteChunkDataPacket(Chunk chunk, Buffer data) {<br />

== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] and [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />

=== Other definitions ===<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points east, and Z points south.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />
|-<br />
| Global palette<br />
| A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on [https://pokechu22.github.io/Burger/1.16.5.html burger].<br />
<br />
Alternatively, the vanilla server now includes an option to export the current block state ID mapping, by running <code>java -cp minecraft_server.jar net.minecraft.data.Main --reports</code>. See [[Data Generators]] for more information.<br />
|-<br />
| Notchian<br />
| The official implementation of vanilla Minecraft as developed and released by Mojang.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Packet format ==<br />
<br />
Packets cannot be larger than 2097151 bytes (the maximum that can be sent in a 3-byte VarInt). For compressed packets, this applies to both the compressed length and uncompressed lengths.<br />
<br />
=== Without compression ===<br />

|}<br />
<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet (with a non-negative threshold) is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slightly to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />

| Byte Array<br />
| zlib compressed packet data (see the sections below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the size of the buffer containing the packet data and ID (as a VarInt) is smaller than the threshold specified in the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]]. It will be sent as uncompressed. This is done by setting the data length as 0. (Comparable to sending a non-compressed format with an extra 0 between the length, and packet data). <br />
<br />
If it's larger than the threshold, then it follows the regular compressed protocol format.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] with a negative Threshold, or not sending the Set Compression packet at all.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
{{Warning|This packet uses a nonstandard format. It is never length-prefixed, and the packet ID is an Unsigned Byte instead of a VarInt.}}<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

<br />
== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] (optional)<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]]<br />
<br />
Set Compression, if present, must be sent before Login Success. Note that anything sent after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated ("cracked"/offline-mode) and integrated servers (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]]. The Notchian server uses UUID v3 for offline player UUIDs, with the namespace “OfflinePlayer” and the value as the player’s username. For example, Notch’s offline UUID would be derived from the string “OfflinePlayer:Notch”. This is not a requirement however, the UUID may be anything.<br />

This packet switches the connection state to [[#Play|play]].<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|The (notchian) server might take a bit to fully transition to the Play state, so it's recommended to wait before sending Play packets, either by setting a timeout, or waiting for Play packets from the server (usually [[#Player Info|Player Info]]).<br />
<br />
The notchian client doesn't send any (non-[[#Keep Alive|keep alive]]) packets until the next tick/[[#Time Update|time update]] packet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Set Compression ====<br />
<br />
Enables compression. If compression is enabled, all following packets are encoded in the [[#With compression|compressed packet format]]. Negative or zero values will disable compression, meaning the packet format should remain in the [[#Without compression|uncompressed packet format]]. However, this packet is entirely optional, and if not sent, compression will also not be enabled (the notchian server does not send the packet when compression is disabled).<br />

<br />
==== Login Plugin Request ====<br />
<br />
Used to implement a custom handshaking flow together with [[#Login_Plugin_Response | Login Plugin Response]].<br />
<br />
Unlike plugin messages in "play" mode, these messages follow a lock-step request/response scheme, where the client is expected to respond to a request indicating whether it understood. The notchian client always responds that it hasn't understood, and sends an empty payload.<br />

Calculating the center of an image: given a (width × height) grid of cells, with <code>(0, 0)</code> being the top left corner, the center is <code>(max(0, width / 2 - 1), height / 2)</code>. E.g. <code>(1, 0)</code> for a 2×1 painting, or <code>(1, 2)</code> for a 4×4 painting.<br />

==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />

When in {{Minecraft Wiki|Server.properties#online-mode|online mode}}, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.<br />
<br />
In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive). The Notchain server uses <code>UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes</code>, implemented by OpenJDK [https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk8u/blob/9a91972c76ddda5c1ce28b50ca38cbd8a30b7a72/jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/UUID.java#L153-L175 here].<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
Block break animations can still be applied on air; the animation will remain visible although there is no block being broken. However, if this is applied to a transparent block, odd graphical effects may happen, including water losing its transparency. (An effect similar to this can be seen in normal gameplay when breaking ice blocks)<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID. The entity ID does not need to correspond to an actual entity on the client. It is valid to use a randomly generated number.<br />

==== Block Action ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used for a number of actions and animations performed by blocks, usually non-persistent.<br />
<br />
See [[Block Actions]] for a list of values.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|This packet uses a block ID, not a block state.}}<br />

==== Block Change ====<br />
<br />
Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a ''shared'' empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.}}<br />

| Window ID<br />
| Byte<br />
| The window which is being updated. 0 for player inventory. Note that all known window types include the player inventory. This packet will only be sent for the currently opened window while the player is performing actions, even if it affects the player inventory. After the window is closed, a number of these packets are sent to update the player's inventory window (0).<br />

| <br />
|}<br />
<br />
To set the cursor (the item currently dragged with the mouse), use -1 as Window ID and as Slot.<br />
<br />
This packet can only be used to edit the hotbar of the player's inventory if window ID is set to 0 (slots 36 through 44). If the window ID is set to -2, then any slot in the inventory can be used but no add item animation will be played.<br />
<br />
==== Set Cooldown ====<br />
<br />
Applies a cooldown period to all items with the given type. Used by the Notchian server with enderpearls. This packet should be sent when the cooldown starts and also when the cooldown ends (to compensate for lag), although the client will end the cooldown automatically. Can be applied to any item, note that interactions still get sent to the server with the item but the client does not play the animation nor attempt to predict results (i.e block placing).<br />

|-<br />
| Speed<br />
| VarLong<br />
| Number of real-time ''milli''seconds 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.<br />

| VarInt<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"><br />
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);<br />
if (playerDistance < distance) {<br />
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;<br />
} else {<br />
warning = 0.0;<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive (clientbound) ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same payload (see [[#Keep Alive (serverbound)|serverbound Keep Alive]]). If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.<br />

{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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 [[#Block Entity Data|Block Entity Data]] later).<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1023 (wither spawn), effect 1028 (enderdragon death), and effect 1038 (end portal opening); it is ignored on other effects.<br />

|-<br />
| rowspan="11" | Trades<br />
| Input item 1<br />
| rowspan="11" | Array<br />
| [[Slot]]<br />
| The first item the player has to supply for this villager trade. The count of the item stack is the default "price" of this trade.<br />
|-<br />
| Output item<br />
| [[Slot]]<br />
| The item the player will receive from this villager trade.<br />
|-<br />
| Has second item<br />
| Boolean<br />
| Whether there is a second item.<br />
|-<br />
| Input item 2<br />
| Optional [[Slot]]<br />

|-<br />
| Trade disabled<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True if the trade is disabled; false if the trade is enabled.<br />
|-<br />
| Number of trade uses<br />
| Integer<br />
| Number of times the trade has been used so far. If equal to the maximum number of trades, the client will display a red X.<br />
|-<br />
| Maximum number of trade uses<br />
| Integer<br />
| Number of times this trade can be used before it's exhausted.<br />
|-<br />
| XP<br />
| Integer<br />
| Amount of XP both the player and the villager will earn each time the trade is used.<br />
|-<br />
| Special Price<br />
| Integer<br />
| Can be zero or negative. The number is added to the price when an item is discounted due to player reputation or other effects.<br />
|-<br />
| Price Multiplier<br />
| Float<br />
| Can be low (0.05) or high (0.2). Determines how much demand, player reputation, and temporary effects will adjust the price.<br />
|-<br />
| Demand<br />
| Integer<br />
| Can be zero or a positive number. Causes the price to increase when a trade is used repeatedly.<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Villager level<br />
|colspan="2"| VarInt<br />
| Appears on the trade GUI; meaning comes from the translation key <code>merchant.level.</code> + level.<br />
1: Novice, 2: Apprentice, 3: Journeyman, 4: Expert, 5: Master.<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Experience<br />
|colspan="2"| VarInt<br />
| Total experience for this villager (always 0 for the wandering trader).<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Is regular villager<br />
|colspan="2"| Boolean<br />
| True if this is a regular villager; false for the wandering trader. When false, hides the villager level and some other GUI elements.<br />
|-<br />
|colspan="2"| Can restock<br />
|colspan="2"| Boolean<br />
| True for regular villagers and false for the wandering trader. If true, the "Villagers restock up to two times per day." message is displayed when hovering over disabled trades.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Modifiers can increase or decrease the number of items for the first input slot. The second input slot and the output slot never change the nubmer of items. The number of items may never be less than 1, and never more than the stack size. If special price and demand are both zero, only the default price is displayed. If either is non-zero, then the adjusted price is displayed next to the crossed-out default price. The adjusted prices is calculated as follows:<br />
<br />
Adjusted price = default price + floor(default price x multiplier x demand) + special price<br />

==== Entity Position ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 8 blocks; if an entity moves more than 8 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And <code>32768 / (128 * 32)</code> = 8.<br />

==== Entity Position and Rotation ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a short range is limited from -32768 to 32767, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction. (<code>-32768 / (32 * 128) == -8</code>)<br />

The Property field looks as in the response of [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]], except of course using the protocol format instead of JSON. That is, each player will usually have one property with Name “textures” and Value being a base64-encoded JSON string as documented at [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]]. An empty properties array is also acceptable, and will cause clients to display the player with one of the two default skins depending on UUID.<br />
<br />
Ping values correspond with icons in the following way:<br />
* A ping that negative (i.e. not known to the server yet) will result in the no connection icon.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position And Look (clientbound) ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />

<br />
{{Need Info|Does the new World Name field resolve this same-dimension issue?}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />
<br />
==== Entity Head Look ====<br />
<br />
Changes the direction an entity's head is facing.<br />
<br />
While sending the Entity Look packet changes the vertical rotation of the head, sending this packet appears to be necessary to rotate the head horizontally.<br />

==== Camera ====<br />
<br />
Sets the entity that the player renders from. This is normally used when the player left-clicks an entity while in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The player's camera will move with the entity and look where it is looking. The entity is often another player, but can be any type of entity. The player is unable to move this entity (move packets will act as if they are coming from the other entity).<br />
<br />
If the given entity is not loaded by the player, this packet is ignored. To return control to the player, send this packet with their entity ID.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server resets this (sends it back to the default entity) whenever the spectated entity is killed or the player sneaks, but only if they were spectating an entity. It also sends this packet whenever the player switches out of spectator mode (even if they weren't spectating an entity).<br />

{{Need Info|Why is this even needed? Is there a better name for it? My guess is that it's something to do with logical behavior with latency, but it still seems weird.}}<br />
<br />
Updates the client's location. This is used to determine what chunks should remain loaded and if a chunk load should be ignored; chunks outside of the view distance may be unloaded.<br />
<br />
Sent whenever the player moves across a chunk border horizontally, and also (according to testing) for any integer change in the vertical axis, even if it doesn't go across a chunk section border.<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client. The collector entity can be any entity; it does not have to be a player. The collected entity also can be any entity, but the Notchian server only uses this for items, experience orbs, and the different varieties of arrows.<br />

==== Chat Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.<br />
<br />
If the message starts with a <code>/</code>, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate [[chat]] component, "<code>chat.type.text</code>" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message. See [[Chat#Processing chat|processing chat]] for more information.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Close Window (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.<br />
<br />
Notchian clients send a Close Window packet with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an [[#Open Window|Open Window]] packet for the inventory.<br />

==== Interact Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The target X, Y, and Z fields represent the difference between the vector location of the cursor at the time of the packet and the entity's position.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
Checking for moving too fast is achieved like this:<br />
<br />
* Each server tick, the player's current position is stored<br />
* When a player moves, the changes in x, y, and z coordinates are compared with the positions from the previous tick (&Delta;x, &Delta;y, &Delta;z)<br />
* Total movement distance squared is computed as &Delta;x&sup2; + &Delta;y&sup2; + &Delta;z&sup2;<br />
* The expected movement distance squared is computed as velocityX&sup2; + velocityY&sup2; + velocityZ&sup2;<br />
* If the total movement distance squared value minus the expected movement distance squared value is more than 100 (300 if the player is using an elytra), they are moving too fast.<br />
<br />
If the player is moving too fast, it will be logged that "<player> moved too quickly! " followed by the change in x, y, and z, and the player will be teleported back to their current (before this packet) serverside position.<br />
<br />
Also, if the absolute value of X or the absolute value of Z is a value greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup>, or X, Y, or Z are not finite (either positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN), the client will be kicked for “Invalid move player packet received”.<br />

==== Player Rotation ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw and pitch of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, y0, z0) and looking towards point (x, y, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
dx = x-x0<br />
dy = y-y0<br />
dz = z-z0<br />
r = sqrt( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )<br />
yaw = -atan2(dx,dz)/PI*180<br />
if yaw < 0 then<br />
yaw = 360 + yaw<br />
pitch = -arcsin(dy/r)/PI*180<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Movement ====<br />
<br />
This packet as well as [[#Player Position|Player Position]], [[#Player Look|Player Look]], and [[#Player Position And Look 2|Player Position And Look]] are called the “serverbound movement packets”. Vanilla clients will send Player Position once every 20 ticks even for a stationary player.<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
The server will first search the player's hotbar for an empty slot, starting from the current slot and looping around to the slot before it. If there are no empty slots, it will start a second search from the current slot and find the first slot that does not contain an enchanted item. If there still are no slots that meet that criteria, then the server will use the currently selected slot.<br />
<br />
After finding the appropriate slot, the server swaps the items and then send 3 packets:<br />
<br />
* [[Protocol#Set slot|Set Slot]], with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the newly chosen slot and the item set to the item that is now in that slot (which was previously at the slot the client requested)<br />
* Set Slot, with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the slot the player requested, with the item that is now in that slot and was previously on the hotbar slot<br />
* [[Protocol#Held_Item_Change_.28clientbound.29|Held Item Change]], with the slot set to the newly chosen slot.<br />
<br />
==== Craft Recipe Request ====<br />

==== Player Digging ====<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

Teleports the player to the given entity. The player must be in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The Notchian client only uses this to teleport to players, but it appears to accept any type of entity. The entity does not need to be in the same dimension as the player; if necessary, the player will be respawned in the right world. If the given entity cannot be found (or isn't loaded), this packet will be ignored. It will also be ignored if the player attempts to teleport to themselves.<br />

|-<br />
| Inside block<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True when the player's head is inside of a block.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Upon placing a block, this packet is sent once.<br />
<br />
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixels in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.<br />
<br />
Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision. In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes. For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle. This value is only true when the player is directly in the box. In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance). <br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<br />
<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<br />
<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<br />
<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] and [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />

| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points east, and Z points south.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />
|-<br />
| Global palette<br />
| A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on [https://pokechu22.github.io/Burger/1.16.5.html burger].<br />
<br />
Alternatively, the vanilla server now includes an option to export the current block state ID mapping, by running <code>java -cp minecraft_server.jar net.minecraft.data.Main --reports</code>. See [[Data Generators]] for more information.<br />

== Packet format ==<br />
<br />
Packets cannot be larger than 2097151 bytes (the maximum that can be sent in a 3-byte VarInt). For compressed packets, this applies to both the compressed length and uncompressed lengths.<br />
<br />
=== Without compression ===<br />

<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet (with a non-negative threshold) is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slightly to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />

|-<br />
| Data<br />
| Byte Array<br />
| zlib compressed packet data (see the sections below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]], otherwise the receiving party will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] with a negative Threshold, or not sending the Set Compression packet at all.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
{{Warning|This packet uses a nonstandard format. It is never length-prefixed, and the packet ID is an Unsigned Byte instead of a VarInt.}}<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] (optional)<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]]<br />
<br />
Set Compression, if present, must be sent before Login Success. Note that anything sent after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated ("cracked"/offline-mode) and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]]. The Notchian server uses UUID v3 for offline player UUIDs, with the namespace “OfflinePlayer” and the value as the player’s username. For example, Notch’s offline UUID would be derived from the string “OfflinePlayer:Notch”. This is not a requirement however, the UUID may be anything.<br />

This packet switches the connection state to [[#Play|play]].<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|The (notchian) server might take a bit to fully transition to the Play state, so it's recommended to wait before sending Play packets, either by setting a timeout, or waiting for Play packets from the server (usually [[#Player Info|Player Info]]).<br />
<br />
The notchian client doesn't send any (non-[[#Keep Alive|keep alive]]) packets until the next tick/[[#Time Update|time update]] packet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Set Compression ====<br />
<br />
Enables compression. If compression is enabled, all following packets are encoded in the [[#With compression|compressed packet format]]. Negative or zero values will disable compression, meaning the packet format should remain in the [[#Without compression|uncompressed packet format]]. However, this packet is entirely optional, and if not sent, compression will also not be enabled (the notchian server does not send the packet when compression is disabled).<br />

==== Login Plugin Request ====<br />
<br />
Used to implement a custom handshaking flow together with [[#Login_Plugin_Response | Login Plugin Response]].<br />
<br />
Unlike plugin messages in "play" mode, these messages follow a lock-step request/response scheme, where the client is expected to respond to a request indicating whether it understood. The notchian client always responds that it hasn't understood, and sends an empty payload.<br />

==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />

When in {{Minecraft Wiki|Server.properties#online-mode|online mode}}, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.<br />
<br />
In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive). The Notchain server uses <code>UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes</code>, implemented by OpenJDK [https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk8u/blob/9a91972c76ddda5c1ce28b50ca38cbd8a30b7a72/jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/UUID.java#L153-L175 here].<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
Block break animations can still be applied on air; the animation will remain visible although there is no block being broken. However, if this is applied to a transparent block, odd graphical effects may happen, including water losing its transparency. (An effect similar to this can be seen in normal gameplay when breaking ice blocks)<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID. The entity ID does not need to correspond to an actual entity on the client. It is valid to use a randomly generated number.<br />

Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a ''shared'' empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.}}<br />

| Window ID<br />
| Byte<br />
| The window which is being updated. 0 for player inventory. Note that all known window types include the player inventory. This packet will only be sent for the currently opened window while the player is performing actions, even if it affects the player inventory. After the window is closed, a number of these packets are sent to update the player's inventory window (0).<br />

| <br />
|}<br />
<br />
To set the cursor (the item currently dragged with the mouse), use -1 as Window ID and as Slot.<br />
<br />
This packet can only be used to edit the hotbar of the player's inventory if window ID is set to 0 (slots 36 through 44). If the window ID is set to -2, then any slot in the inventory can be used but no add item animation will be played.<br />
<br />
==== Set Cooldown ====<br />
<br />
Applies a cooldown period to all items with the given type. Used by the Notchian server with enderpearls. This packet should be sent when the cooldown starts and also when the cooldown ends (to compensate for lag), although the client will end the cooldown automatically. Can be applied to any item, note that interactions still get sent to the server with the item but the client does not play the animation nor attempt to predict results (i.e block placing).<br />

|-<br />
| Speed<br />
| VarLong<br />
| Number of real-time ''milli''seconds 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.<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"><br />
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);<br />
if (playerDistance < distance) {<br />
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;<br />
} else {<br />
warning = 0.0;<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive (clientbound) ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same payload (see [[#Keep Alive (serverbound)|serverbound Keep Alive]]). If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.<br />

{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

| Heightmaps<br />
| [[NBT]]<br />
| Compound containing one long array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code>, 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 <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> long array, the purpose of which is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted.<br />

<br />
Note that the Notchian client requires an [[#Update View Position|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.<br />
<br />
The compacted array format has been adjusted so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs, affecting the main data array and heightmaps.<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1023 (wither spawn), effect 1028 (enderdragon death), and effect 1038 (end portal opening); it is ignored on other effects.<br />

Modifiers can increase or decrease the number of items for the first input slot. The second input slot and the output slot never change the nubmer of items. The number of items may never be less than 1, and never more than the stack size. If special price and demand are both zero, only the default price is displayed. If either is non-zero, then the adjusted price is displayed next to the crossed-out default price. The adjusted prices is calculated as follows:<br />
<br />
Adjusted price = default price + floor(default price x multiplier x demand) + special price<br />

==== Entity Position ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 8 blocks; if an entity moves more than 8 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And <code>32768 / (128 * 32)</code> = 8.<br />

==== Entity Position and Rotation ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a short range is limited from -32768 to 32767, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction. (<code>-32768 / (32 * 128) == -8</code>)<br />

The Property field looks as in the response of [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]], except of course using the protocol format instead of JSON. That is, each player will usually have one property with Name “textures” and Value being a base64-encoded JSON string as documented at [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]]. An empty properties array is also acceptable, and will cause clients to display the player with one of the two default skins depending on UUID.<br />
<br />
Ping values correspond with icons in the following way:<br />
* A ping that negative (i.e. not known to the server yet) will result in the no connection icon.<br />
* A ping under 150 milliseconds will result in 5 bars<br />
* A ping under 300 milliseconds will result in 4 bars<br />
* A ping under 600 milliseconds will result in 3 bars<br />
* A ping under 1000 milliseconds (1 second) will result in 2 bars<br />
* A ping greater than or equal to 1 second will result in 1 bar.<br />

If the entity given by entity ID cannot be found, this packet should be treated as if is entity was false.<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look (clientbound) ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />

| Boolean<br />
| The notchian client will be forced to use the resource pack from the server. If they decline they will be kicked from the server.<br />

<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|Does the new World Name field resolve this same-dimension issue?}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />
<br />
==== Entity Head Look ====<br />
<br />
Changes the direction an entity's head is facing.<br />
<br />
While sending the Entity Look packet changes the vertical rotation of the head, sending this packet appears to be necessary to rotate the head horizontally.<br />

==== Camera ====<br />
<br />
Sets the entity that the player renders from. This is normally used when the player left-clicks an entity while in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The player's camera will move with the entity and look where it is looking. The entity is often another player, but can be any type of entity. The player is unable to move this entity (move packets will act as if they are coming from the other entity).<br />
<br />
If the given entity is not loaded by the player, this packet is ignored. To return control to the player, send this packet with their entity ID.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server resets this (sends it back to the default entity) whenever the spectated entity is killed or the player sneaks, but only if they were spectating an entity. It also sends this packet whenever the player switches out of spectator mode (even if they weren't spectating an entity).<br />

* Creeper &rarr; <code>shaders/post/creeper.json</code><br />
* Spider (and cave spider) &rarr; <code>shaders/post/spider.json</code><br />
* Enderman &rarr; <code>shaders/post/invert.json</code><br />

==== Update View Position ====<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|Why is this even needed? Is there a better name for it? My guess is that it's something to do with logical behavior with latency, but it still seems weird.}}<br />
<br />
Updates the client's location. This is used to determine what chunks should remain loaded and if a chunk load should be ignored; chunks outside of the view distance may be unloaded.<br />
<br />
Sent whenever the player moves across a chunk border horizontally, and also (according to testing) for any integer change in the vertical axis, even if it doesn't go across a chunk section border.<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client. The collector entity can be any entity; it does not have to be a player. The collected entity also can be any entity, but the Notchian server only uses this for items, experience orbs, and the different varieties of arrows.<br />

* 0x01: Is ambient - was the effect spawned from a beacon? All beacon-generated effects are ambient. Ambient effects use a different icon in the HUD (blue border rather than gray). If all effects on an entity are ambient, the [[Entities#Living Entity|"Is potion effect ambient" living metadata field]] should be set to true. Usually should not be enabled.<br />
* 0x02: Show particles - should all particles from this effect be hidden? Effects with particles hidden are not included in the calculation of the effect color, and are not rendered on the HUD (but are still rendered within the inventory). Usually should be enabled.<br />
* 0x04: Show icon - should the icon be displayed on the client? Usually should be enabled.<br />

==== Chat Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.<br />
<br />
If the message starts with a <code>/</code>, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate [[chat]] component, "<code>chat.type.text</code>" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message. See [[Chat#Processing chat|processing chat]] for more information.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Close Window (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.<br />
<br />
Notchian clients send a Close Window packet with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an [[#Open Window|Open Window]] packet for the inventory.<br />

==== Plugin Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
{{Main|Plugin channels}}<br />
<br />
Mods and plugins can use this to send their data. Minecraft itself uses some [[plugin channel]]s. These internal channels are in the <code>minecraft</code> namespace.<br />
<br />
More documentation on this: [https://dinnerbone.com/blog/2012/01/13/minecraft-plugin-channels-messaging/ https://dinnerbone.com/blog/2012/01/13/minecraft-plugin-channels-messaging/]<br />
<br />
Note that the length of Data is known only from the packet length, since the packet has no length field of any kind.<br />

==== Interact Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The target X, Y, and Z fields represent the difference between the vector location of the cursor at the time of the packet and the entity's position.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
Checking for moving too fast is achieved like this:<br />
<br />
* Each server tick, the player's current position is stored<br />
* When a player moves, the changes in x, y, and z coordinates are compared with the positions from the previous tick (&Delta;x, &Delta;y, &Delta;z)<br />
* Total movement distance squared is computed as &Delta;x&sup2; + &Delta;y&sup2; + &Delta;z&sup2;<br />
* The expected movement distance squared is computed as velocityX&sup2; + veloctyY&sup2; + velocityZ&sup2;<br />
* If the total movement distance squared value minus the expected movement distance squared value is more than 100 (300 if the player is using an elytra), they are moving too fast.<br />
<br />
If the player is moving too fast, it will be logged that "<player> moved too quickly! " followed by the change in x, y, and z, and the player will be teleported back to their current (before this packet) serverside position.<br />
<br />
Also, if the absolute value of X or the absolute value of Z is a value greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup>, or X, Y, or Z are not finite (either positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN), the client will be kicked for “Invalid move player packet received”.<br />

==== Player Rotation ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw and pitch of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, y0, z0) and looking towards point (x, y, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
dx = x-x0<br />
dy = y-y0<br />
dz = z-z0<br />
r = sqrt( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )<br />
yaw = -atan2(dx,dz)/PI*180<br />
if yaw < 0 then<br />
yaw = 360 + yaw<br />
pitch = -arcsin(dy/r)/PI*180<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Movement ====<br />
<br />
This packet as well as [[#Player Position|Player Position]], [[#Player Look|Player Look]], and [[#Player Position And Look 2|Player Position And Look]] are called the “serverbound movement packets”. Vanilla clients will send Player Position once every 20 ticks even for a stationary player.<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
==== Pick Item ====<br />
<br />
Used to swap out an empty space on the hotbar with the item in the given inventory slot. The Notchain client uses this for pick block functionality (middle click) to retrieve items from the inventory.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The server will first search the player's hotbar for an empty slot, starting from the current slot and looping around to the slot before it. If there are no empty slots, it will start a second search from the current slot and find the first slot that does not contain an enchanted item. If there still are no slots that meet that criteria, then the server will use the currently selected slot.<br />
<br />
After finding the appropriate slot, the server swaps the items and then send 3 packets:<br />
<br />
* [[Protocol#Set slot|Set Slot]], with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the newly chosen slot and the item set to the item that is now in that slot (which was previously at the slot the client requested)<br />
* Set Slot, with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the slot the player requested, with the item that is now in that slot and was previously on the hotbar slot<br />
* [[Protocol#Held_Item_Change_.28clientbound.29|Held Item Change]], with the slot set to the newly chosen slot.<br />
<br />

Sent as a player is renaming an item in an anvil (each keypress in the anvil UI sends a new Name Item packet). If the new name is empty, then the item loses its custom name (this is different from setting the custom name to the normal name of the item). The item name may be no longer than 35 characters long, and if it is longer than that, then the rename is silently ignored.<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

The entity does not need to be in the same dimension as the player; if necessary, the player will be respawned in the right world. If the given entity cannot be found (or isn't loaded), this packet will be ignored. It will also be ignored if the player attempts to teleport to themselves.<br />

|-<br />
| Cursor Position X<br />

| Inside block<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True when the player's head is inside of a block.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Upon placing a block, this packet is sent once.<br />
<br />
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixels in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.<br />
<br />
Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision. In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes. For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle. This value is only true when the player is directly in the box. In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance). <br />

<br />
== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] and [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />
=== Data types ===<br />

=== Other definitions ===<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points east, and Z points south.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />
|-<br />
| Global palette<br />
| A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on [https://pokechu22.github.io/Burger/1.16.5.html burger].<br />
<br />
Alternatively, the vanilla server now includes an option to export the current block state ID mapping, by running <code>java -cp minecraft_server.jar net.minecraft.data.Main --reports</code>. See [[Data Generators]] for more information.<br />

| Notchian<br />
| The official implementation of vanilla Minecraft as developed and released by Mojang.<br />

<br />
== Packet format ==<br />
<br />
Packets cannot be larger than 2097151 bytes (the maximum that can be sent in a 3-byte VarInt). For compressed packets, this applies to both the compressed length and uncompressed lengths.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet (with a non-negative threshold) is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slightly to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]], otherwise the receiving party will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] with a negative Threshold, or not sending the Set Compression packet at all.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
{{Warning|This packet uses a nonstandard format. It is never length-prefixed, and the packet ID is an Unsigned Byte instead of a VarInt.}}<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] (optional)<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]]<br />
<br />
Set Compression, if present, must be sent before Login Success. Note that anything sent after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated ("cracked"/offline-mode) and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]]. The Notchian server uses UUID v3 for offline player UUIDs, with the namespace “OfflinePlayer” and the value as the player’s username. For example, Notch’s offline UUID would be derived from the string “OfflinePlayer:Notch”. This is not a requirement however, the UUID may be anything.<br />

This packet switches the connection state to [[#Play|play]].<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|The (notchian) server might take a bit to fully transition to the Play state, so it's recommended to wait before sending Play packets, either by setting a timeout, or waiting for Play packets from the server (usually [[#Player Info|Player Info]]).<br />
<br />
The notchian client doesn't send any (non-[[#Keep Alive|keep alive]]) packets until the next tick/[[#Time Update|time update]] packet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Set Compression ====<br />
<br />
Enables compression. If compression is enabled, all following packets are encoded in the [[#With compression|compressed packet format]]. Negative or zero values will disable compression, meaning the packet format should remain in the [[#Without compression|uncompressed packet format]]. However, this packet is entirely optional, and if not sent, compression will also not be enabled (the notchian server does not send the packet when compression is disabled).<br />

==== Login Plugin Request ====<br />
<br />
Used to implement a custom handshaking flow together with [[#Login_Plugin_Response | Login Plugin Response]].<br />
<br />
Unlike plugin messages in "play" mode, these messages follow a lock-step request/response scheme, where the client is expected to respond to a request indicating whether it understood. The notchian client always responds that it hasn't understood, and sends an empty payload.<br />

==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />

<br />
When in {{Minecraft Wiki|Server.properties#online-mode|online mode}}, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.<br />
<br />
In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive). The Notchain server uses <code>UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes</code>, implemented by OpenJDK [https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk8u/blob/9a91972c76ddda5c1ce28b50ca38cbd8a30b7a72/jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/UUID.java#L153-L175 here].<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

<br />
==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
Block break animations can still be applied on air; the animation will remain visible although there is no block being broken. However, if this is applied to a transparent block, odd graphical effects may happen, including water losing its transparency. (An effect similar to this can be seen in normal gameplay when breaking ice blocks)<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID. The entity ID does not need to correspond to an actual entity on the client. It is valid to use a randomly generated number.<br />

<br />
This packet is used for a number of actions and animations performed by blocks, usually non-persistent.<br />

==== Block Change ====<br />
<br />
Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a ''shared'' empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.}}<br />

| Window ID<br />
| Byte<br />
| The window which is being updated. 0 for player inventory. Note that all known window types include the player inventory. This packet will only be sent for the currently opened window while the player is performing actions, even if it affects the player inventory. After the window is closed, a number of these packets are sent to update the player's inventory window (0).<br />

| [[Slot Data|Slot]]<br />
| <br />
|}<br />
<br />
To set the cursor (the item currently dragged with the mouse), use -1 as Window ID and as Slot.<br />
<br />
This packet can only be used to edit the hotbar of the player's inventory if window ID is set to 0 (slots 36 through 44). If the window ID is set to -2, then any slot in the inventory can be used but no add item animation will be played.<br />
<br />
==== Set Cooldown ====<br />
<br />
Applies a cooldown period to all items with the given type. Used by the Notchian server with enderpearls. This packet should be sent when the cooldown starts and also when the cooldown ends (to compensate for lag), although the client will end the cooldown automatically. Can be applied to any item, note that interactions still get sent to the server with the item but the client does not play the animation nor attempt to predict results (i.e block placing).<br />

|-<br />
| Speed<br />
| VarLong<br />
| Number of real-time ''milli''seconds 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.<br />
|-<br />
| Portal Teleport Boundary<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Resulting coordinates from a portal teleport are limited to ±value. Usually 29999984.<br />

| In meters.<br />
|-<br />
| Warning Time<br />
| VarInt<br />
| In seconds as set by <code>/worldborder warning time</code>.<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"><br />
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);<br />
if (playerDistance < distance) {<br />
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;<br />
} else {<br />
warning = 0.0;<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive (clientbound) ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same payload (see [[#Keep Alive (serverbound)|serverbound Keep Alive]]). If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.<br />

{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

| Compound containing one long array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code>, 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 <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> long array, the purpose of which is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted.<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1023 (wither spawn), effect 1028 (enderdragon death), and effect 1038 (end portal opening); it is ignored on other effects.<br />

Modifiers can increase or decrease the number of items for the first input slot. The second input slot and the output slot never change the nubmer of items. The number of items may never be less than 1, and never more than the stack size. If special price and demand are both zero, only the default price is displayed. If either is non-zero, then the adjusted price is displayed next to the crossed-out default price. The adjusted prices is calculated as follows:<br />
<br />
Adjusted price = default price + floor(default price x multiplier x demand) + special price<br />

==== Entity Position ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 8 blocks; if an entity moves more than 8 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And <code>32768 / (128 * 32)</code> = 8.<br />

This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a short range is limited from -32768 to 32767, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction. (<code>-32768 / (32 * 128) == -8</code>)<br />

The Property field looks as in the response of [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]], except of course using the protocol format instead of JSON. That is, each player will usually have one property with Name “textures” and Value being a base64-encoded JSON string as documented at [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]]. An empty properties array is also acceptable, and will cause clients to display the player with one of the two default skins depending on UUID.<br />
<br />
Ping values correspond with icons in the following way:<br />
* A ping that negative (i.e. not known to the server yet) will result in the no connection icon.<br />
* A ping under 150 milliseconds will result in 5 bars<br />
* A ping under 300 milliseconds will result in 4 bars<br />
* A ping under 600 milliseconds will result in 3 bars<br />
* A ping under 1000 milliseconds (1 second) will result in 2 bars<br />
* A ping greater than or equal to 1 second will result in 1 bar.<br />

==== Face Player ====<br />

<br />
If the entity given by entity ID cannot be found, this packet should be treated as if is entity was false.<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look (clientbound) ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />

{{Need Info|Does the new World Name field resolve this same-dimension issue?}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />
<br />
==== Entity Head Look ====<br />
<br />
Changes the direction an entity's head is facing.<br />
<br />
While sending the Entity Look packet changes the vertical rotation of the head, sending this packet appears to be necessary to rotate the head horizontally.<br />

==== Camera ====<br />
<br />
Sets the entity that the player renders from. This is normally used when the player left-clicks an entity while in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The player's camera will move with the entity and look where it is looking. The entity is often another player, but can be any type of entity. The player is unable to move this entity (move packets will act as if they are coming from the other entity).<br />
<br />
If the given entity is not loaded by the player, this packet is ignored. To return control to the player, send this packet with their entity ID.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server resets this (sends it back to the default entity) whenever the spectated entity is killed or the player sneaks, but only if they were spectating an entity. It also sends this packet whenever the player switches out of spectator mode (even if they weren't spectating an entity).<br />

* Spider (and cave spider) &rarr; <code>shaders/post/spider.json</code><br />
* Enderman &rarr; <code>shaders/post/invert.json</code><br />

==== Update View Position ====<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|Why is this even needed? Is there a better name for it? My guess is that it's something to do with logical behavior with latency, but it still seems weird.}}<br />
<br />
Updates the client's location. This is used to determine what chunks should remain loaded and if a chunk load should be ignored; chunks outside of the view distance may be unloaded.<br />
<br />
Sent whenever the player moves across a chunk border horizontally, and also (according to testing) for any integer change in the vertical axis, even if it doesn't go across a chunk section border.<br />

Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client. The collector entity can be any entity; it does not have to be a player. The collected entity also can be any entity, but the Notchian server only uses this for items, experience orbs, and the different varieties of arrows.<br />

==== Chat Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.<br />
<br />
If the message starts with a <code>/</code>, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate [[chat]] component, "<code>chat.type.text</code>" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message. See [[Chat#Processing chat|processing chat]] for more information.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the Mode and Button fields.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Close Window (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.<br />
<br />
Notchian clients send a Close Window packet with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an [[#Open Window|Open Window]] packet for the inventory.<br />

==== Plugin Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
{{Main|Plugin channels}}<br />
<br />
Mods and plugins can use this to send their data. Minecraft itself uses some [[plugin channel]]s. These internal channels are in the <code>minecraft</code> namespace.<br />
<br />

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.<br />
<br />
The target X, Y, and Z fields represent the difference between the vector location of the cursor at the time of the packet and the entity's position.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
Checking for moving too fast is achieved like this:<br />
<br />
* Each server tick, the player's current position is stored<br />
* When a player moves, the changes in x, y, and z coordinates are compared with the positions from the previous tick (&Delta;x, &Delta;y, &Delta;z)<br />
* Total movement distance squared is computed as &Delta;x&sup2; + &Delta;y&sup2; + &Delta;z&sup2;<br />
* The expected movement distance squared is computed as velocityX&sup2; + veloctyY&sup2; + velocityZ&sup2;<br />
* If the total movement distance squared value minus the expected movement distance squared value is more than 100 (300 if the player is using an elytra), they are moving too fast.<br />
<br />
If the player is moving too fast, it will be logged that "<player> moved too quickly! " followed by the change in x, y, and z, and the player will be teleported back to their current (before this packet) serverside position.<br />
<br />
Also, if the absolute value of X or the absolute value of Z is a value greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup>, or X, Y, or Z are not finite (either positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN), the client will be kicked for “Invalid move player packet received”.<br />

==== Player Rotation ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw and pitch of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, y0, z0) and looking towards point (x, y, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
dx = x-x0<br />
dy = y-y0<br />
dz = z-z0<br />
r = sqrt( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )<br />
yaw = -atan2(dx,dz)/PI*180<br />
if yaw < 0 then<br />
yaw = 360 + yaw<br />
pitch = -arcsin(dy/r)/PI*180<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Movement ====<br />
<br />
This packet as well as [[#Player Position|Player Position]], [[#Player Look|Player Look]], and [[#Player Position And Look 2|Player Position And Look]] are called the “serverbound movement packets”. Vanilla clients will send Player Position once every 20 ticks even for a stationary player.<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
==== Pick Item ====<br />
<br />
Used to swap out an empty space on the hotbar with the item in the given inventory slot. The Notchain client uses this for pick block functionality (middle click) to retrieve items from the inventory.<br />

| VarInt<br />
| See [[Inventory]].<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The server will first search the player's hotbar for an empty slot, starting from the current slot and looping around to the slot before it. If there are no empty slots, it will start a second search from the current slot and find the first slot that does not contain an enchanted item. If there still are no slots that meet that criteria, then the server will use the currently selected slot.<br />
<br />
After finding the appropriate slot, the server swaps the items and then send 3 packets:<br />
<br />
* [[Protocol#Set slot|Set Slot]], with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the newly chosen slot and the item set to the item that is now in that slot (which was previously at the slot the client requested)<br />
* Set Slot, with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the slot the player requested, with the item that is now in that slot and was previously on the hotbar slot<br />
* [[Protocol#Held_Item_Change_.28clientbound.29|Held Item Change]], with the slot set to the newly chosen slot.<br />
<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

The Notchian client only uses this to teleport to players, but it appears to accept any type of entity. The entity does not need to be in the same dimension as the player; if necessary, the player will be respawned in the right world. If the given entity cannot be found (or isn't loaded), this packet will be ignored. It will also be ignored if the player attempts to teleport to themselves.<br />

| Inside block<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True when the player's head is inside of a block.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Upon placing a block, this packet is sent once.<br />
<br />
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixels in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.<br />
<br />
Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision. In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes. For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle. This value is only true when the player is directly in the box. In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance). <br />

<br />
== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] and [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />

! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points east, and Z points south.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />
|-<br />
| Global palette<br />
| A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on [https://pokechu22.github.io/Burger/1.16.5.html burger].<br />
<br />
Alternatively, the vanilla server now includes an option to export the current block state ID mapping, by running <code>java -cp minecraft_server.jar net.minecraft.data.Main --reports</code>. See [[Data Generators]] for more information.<br />

<br />
== Packet format ==<br />
<br />
Packets cannot be larger than 2097151 bytes (the maximum that can be sent in a 3-byte VarInt). For compressed packets, this applies to both the compressed length and uncompressed lengths.<br />
<br />
=== Without compression ===<br />

<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet (with a non-negative threshold) is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slightly to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]], otherwise the receiving party will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] with a negative Threshold, or not sending the Set Compression packet at all.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />

<br />
== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] (optional)<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]]<br />
<br />
Set Compression, if present, must be sent before Login Success. Note that anything sent after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated ("cracked"/offline-mode) and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]]. The Notchian server uses UUID v3 for offline player UUIDs, with the namespace “OfflinePlayer” and the value as the player’s username. For example, Notch’s offline UUID would be derived from the string “OfflinePlayer:Notch”. This is not a requirement however, the UUID may be anything.<br />

This packet switches the connection state to [[#Play|play]].<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|The (notchian) server might take a bit to fully transition to the Play state, so it's recommended to wait before sending Play packets, either by setting a timeout, or waiting for Play packets from the server (usually [[#Player Info|Player Info]]).<br />
<br />
The notchian client doesn't send any (non-[[#Keep Alive|keep alive]]) packets until the next tick/[[#Time Update|time update]] packet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Set Compression ====<br />
<br />
Enables compression. If compression is enabled, all following packets are encoded in the [[#With compression|compressed packet format]]. Negative or zero values will disable compression, meaning the packet format should remain in the [[#Without compression|uncompressed packet format]]. However, this packet is entirely optional, and if not sent, compression will also not be enabled (the notchian server does not send the packet when compression is disabled).<br />

==== Login Plugin Request ====<br />
<br />
Used to implement a custom handshaking flow together with [[#Login_Plugin_Response | Login Plugin Response]].<br />
<br />
Unlike plugin messages in "play" mode, these messages follow a lock-step request/response scheme, where the client is expected to respond to a request indicating whether it understood. The notchian client always responds that it hasn't understood, and sends an empty payload.<br />

==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />

When in {{Minecraft Wiki|Server.properties#online-mode|online mode}}, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.<br />
<br />
In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive). The Notchain server uses <code>UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes</code>, implemented by OpenJDK [https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-jdk8u/blob/9a91972c76ddda5c1ce28b50ca38cbd8a30b7a72/jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/UUID.java#L153-L175 here].<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
Block break animations can still be applied on air; the animation will remain visible although there is no block being broken. However, if this is applied to a transparent block, odd graphical effects may happen, including water losing its transparency. (An effect similar to this can be seen in normal gameplay when breaking ice blocks)<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID. The entity ID does not need to correspond to an actual entity on the client. It is valid to use a randomly generated number.<br />

==== Block Change ====<br />
<br />
Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a ''shared'' empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.}}<br />

| Window ID<br />
| Byte<br />
| The window which is being updated. 0 for player inventory. Note that all known window types include the player inventory. This packet will only be sent for the currently opened window while the player is performing actions, even if it affects the player inventory. After the window is closed, a number of these packets are sent to update the player's inventory window (0).<br />

| Short<br />
| The slot that should be updated.<br />
|-<br />

| [[Slot Data|Slot]]<br />
| <br />
|}<br />
<br />
To set the cursor (the item currently dragged with the mouse), use -1 as Window ID and as Slot.<br />
<br />
This packet can only be used to edit the hotbar of the player's inventory if window ID is set to 0 (slots 36 through 44). If the window ID is set to -2, then any slot in the inventory can be used but no add item animation will be played.<br />
<br />
==== Set Cooldown ====<br />
<br />
Applies a cooldown period to all items with the given type. Used by the Notchian server with enderpearls. This packet should be sent when the cooldown starts and also when the cooldown ends (to compensate for lag), although the client will end the cooldown automatically. Can be applied to any item, note that interactions still get sent to the server with the item but the client does not play the animation nor attempt to predict results (i.e block placing).<br />

|-<br />
| Speed<br />
| VarLong<br />
| Number of real-time ''milli''seconds 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.<br />
|-<br />
| Portal Teleport Boundary<br />
| VarInt<br />
| Resulting coordinates from a portal teleport are limited to ±value. Usually 29999984.<br />

|-<br />
| Warning Time<br />
| VarInt<br />
| In seconds as set by <code>/worldborder warning time</code>.<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
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:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"><br />
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);<br />
if (playerDistance < distance) {<br />
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;<br />
} else {<br />
warning = 0.0;<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive (clientbound) ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same payload (see [[#Keep Alive (serverbound)|serverbound Keep Alive]]). If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.<br />

<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

|-<br />
| Heightmaps<br />
| [[NBT]]<br />
| Compound containing one long array named <code>MOTION_BLOCKING</code>, 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 <code>WORLD_SURFACE</code> long array, the purpose of which is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted.<br />

| All block entities in the chunk. Use the x, y, and z tags in the NBT to determine their positions.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note that the Notchian client requires an [[#Update View Position|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.<br />
<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1023 (wither spawn), effect 1028 (enderdragon death), and effect 1038 (end portal opening); it is ignored on other effects.<br />

Modifiers can increase or decrease the number of items for the first input slot. The second input slot and the output slot never change the nubmer of items. The number of items may never be less than 1, and never more than the stack size. If special price and demand are both zero, only the default price is displayed. If either is non-zero, then the adjusted price is displayed next to the crossed-out default price. The adjusted prices is calculated as follows:<br />
<br />
Adjusted price = default price + floor(default price x multiplier x demand) + special price<br />

==== Entity Position ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 8 blocks; if an entity moves more than 8 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And <code>32768 / (128 * 32)</code> = 8.<br />

==== Entity Position and Rotation ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a short range is limited from -32768 to 32767, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction. (<code>-32768 / (32 * 128) == -8</code>)<br />

The Property field looks as in the response of [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]], except of course using the protocol format instead of JSON. That is, each player will usually have one property with Name “textures” and Value being a base64-encoded JSON string as documented at [[Mojang API#UUID -> Profile + Skin/Cape]]. An empty properties array is also acceptable, and will cause clients to display the player with one of the two default skins depending on UUID.<br />
<br />
Ping values correspond with icons in the following way:<br />
* A ping that negative (i.e. not known to the server yet) will result in the no connection icon.<br />
* A ping under 150 milliseconds will result in 5 bars<br />
* A ping under 300 milliseconds will result in 4 bars<br />
* A ping under 600 milliseconds will result in 3 bars<br />
* A ping under 1000 milliseconds (1 second) will result in 2 bars<br />
* A ping greater than or equal to 1 second will result in 1 bar.<br />

==== Face Player ====<br />
<br />

<br />
If the entity given by entity ID cannot be found, this packet should be treated as if is entity was false.<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look (clientbound) ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server. This packet will also close the “Downloading Terrain” screen when joining/respawning.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />

{{Need Info|Does the new World Name field resolve this same-dimension issue?}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />

==== Entity Head Look ====<br />
<br />
Changes the direction an entity's head is facing.<br />
<br />
While sending the Entity Look packet changes the vertical rotation of the head, sending this packet appears to be necessary to rotate the head horizontally.<br />

<br />
==== Camera ====<br />
<br />
Sets the entity that the player renders from. This is normally used when the player left-clicks an entity while in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The player's camera will move with the entity and look where it is looking. The entity is often another player, but can be any type of entity. The player is unable to move this entity (move packets will act as if they are coming from the other entity).<br />
<br />
If the given entity is not loaded by the player, this packet is ignored. To return control to the player, send this packet with their entity ID.<br />
<br />
The Notchian server resets this (sends it back to the default entity) whenever the spectated entity is killed or the player sneaks, but only if they were spectating an entity. It also sends this packet whenever the player switches out of spectator mode (even if they weren't spectating an entity).<br />

==== Update View Position ====<br />
<br />
{{Need Info|Why is this even needed? Is there a better name for it? My guess is that it's something to do with logical behavior with latency, but it still seems weird.}}<br />
<br />
Updates the client's location. This is used to determine what chunks should remain loaded and if a chunk load should be ignored; chunks outside of the view distance may be unloaded.<br />
<br />
Sent whenever the player moves across a chunk border horizontally, and also (according to testing) for any integer change in the vertical axis, even if it doesn't go across a chunk section border.<br />

Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client. The collector entity can be any entity; it does not have to be a player. The collected entity also can be any entity, but the Notchian server only uses this for items, experience orbs, and the different varieties of arrows.<br />

==== Chat Message (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.<br />
<br />
If the message starts with a <code>/</code>, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate [[chat]] component, "<code>chat.type.text</code>" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message. See [[Chat#Processing chat|processing chat]] for more information.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the Mode and Button fields.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Close Window (serverbound) ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.<br />
<br />
Notchian clients send a Close Window packet with Window ID 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an [[#Open Window|Open Window]] packet for the inventory.<br />

<br />
==== Interact Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The target X, Y, and Z fields represent the difference between the vector location of the cursor at the time of the packet and the entity's position.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
Checking for moving too fast is achieved like this:<br />
<br />
* Each server tick, the player's current position is stored<br />
* When a player moves, the changes in x, y, and z coordinates are compared with the positions from the previous tick (&Delta;x, &Delta;y, &Delta;z)<br />
* Total movement distance squared is computed as &Delta;x&sup2; + &Delta;y&sup2; + &Delta;z&sup2;<br />
* The expected movement distance squared is computed as velocityX&sup2; + veloctyY&sup2; + velocityZ&sup2;<br />
* If the total movement distance squared value minus the expected movement distance squared value is more than 100 (300 if the player is using an elytra), they are moving too fast.<br />
<br />
If the player is moving too fast, it will be logged that "<player> moved too quickly! " followed by the change in x, y, and z, and the player will be teleported back to their current (before this packet) serverside position.<br />
<br />
Also, if the absolute value of X or the absolute value of Z is a value greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup>, or X, Y, or Z are not finite (either positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN), the client will be kicked for “Invalid move player packet received”.<br />

==== Player Rotation ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw and pitch of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, y0, z0) and looking towards point (x, y, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
dx = x-x0<br />
dy = y-y0<br />
dz = z-z0<br />
r = sqrt( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )<br />
yaw = -atan2(dx,dz)/PI*180<br />
if yaw < 0 then<br />
yaw = 360 + yaw<br />
pitch = -arcsin(dy/r)/PI*180<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Movement ====<br />
<br />
This packet as well as [[#Player Position|Player Position]], [[#Player Look|Player Look]], and [[#Player Position And Look 2|Player Position And Look]] are called the “serverbound movement packets”. Vanilla clients will send Player Position once every 20 ticks even for a stationary player.<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
==== Pick Item ====<br />
<br />
Used to swap out an empty space on the hotbar with the item in the given inventory slot. The Notchain client uses this for pick block functionality (middle click) to retrieve items from the inventory.<br />

| VarInt<br />
| See [[Inventory]].<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The server will first search the player's hotbar for an empty slot, starting from the current slot and looping around to the slot before it. If there are no empty slots, it will start a second search from the current slot and find the first slot that does not contain an enchanted item. If there still are no slots that meet that criteria, then the server will use the currently selected slot.<br />
<br />
After finding the appropriate slot, the server swaps the items and then send 3 packets:<br />
<br />
* [[Protocol#Set slot|Set Slot]], with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the newly chosen slot and the item set to the item that is now in that slot (which was previously at the slot the client requested)<br />
* Set Slot, with window ID set to -2 and slot set to the slot the player requested, with the item that is now in that slot and was previously on the hotbar slot<br />
* [[Protocol#Held_Item_Change_.28clientbound.29|Held Item Change]], with the slot set to the newly chosen slot.<br />
<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

Possible actions:<br />
<br />
* 0 - Update data<br />
* 1 - Save the structure<br />
* 2 - Load the structure<br />
* 3 - Detect size<br />
<br />
The Notchian client uses update data to indicate no special action should be taken (i.e. the done button).<br />
<br />
==== Update Sign ====<br />
<br />
{{anchor|Update Sign (serverbound)}}This message is sent from the client to the server when the “Done” button is pushed after placing a sign.<br />
<br />
The server only accepts this packet after [[#Open Sign Editor|Open Sign Editor]], otherwise this packet is silently ignored.<br />

==== Spectate ====<br />
<br />
Teleports the player to the given entity. The player must be in spectator mode.<br />
<br />
The Notchian client only uses this to teleport to players, but it appears to accept any type of entity. The entity does not need to be in the same dimension as the player; if necessary, the player will be respawned in the right world. If the given entity cannot be found (or isn't loaded), this packet will be ignored. It will also be ignored if the player attempts to teleport to themselves.<br />

| Hand<br />
| VarInt Enum<br />
| The hand from which the block is placed; 0: main hand, 1: off hand.<br />
|-<br />
| Location<br />
| Position<br />
| Block position.<br />
|-<br />
| Face<br />
| VarInt Enum<br />
| The face on which the block is placed (as documented at [[#Player Digging|Player Digging]]).<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor Position X<br />
| Float<br />
| The position of the crosshair on the block, from 0 to 1 increasing from west to east.<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor Position Y<br />
| Float<br />
| The position of the crosshair on the block, from 0 to 1 increasing from bottom to top.<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor Position Z<br />
| Float<br />
| The position of the crosshair on the block, from 0 to 1 increasing from north to south.<br />
|-<br />
| Inside block<br />
| Boolean<br />
| True when the player's head is inside of a block.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Upon placing a block, this packet is sent once.<br />
<br />
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixels in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.<br />
<br />
Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision. In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes. For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle. This value is only true when the player is directly in the box. In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance). <br />
<br />
==== Use Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent when pressing the Use Item key (default: right click) with an item in hand.<br />

<br />
''Minecraft'' Modern (officially ''Minecraft: Java Edition'') is one of the two updated versions of Minecraft which require a paid account to download, update and play. Most of the new development projects focus on either creating entirely new programs from scratch that interoperate with Minecraft (such as a bot or server) or modding projects that wrap the client or server and provide bug fixes, new features and enhancements to existing features.<br />
<br />
=== Documentation ===<br />
There are ongoing efforts to keep reverse engineered documentation updated, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. The protocol generally changes slightly with each release, and both the Client and Server classes get rearranged on each release. Below are links to the current documentation segments, which '''may or may not be completely up to date'''.<br />

* [[Server List|Servers]] - third-party Minecraft servers.<br />
* [[Library List|Libraries]] - libraries to interface with Minecraft data files or network protocols.<br />
* [[Utility List|Utilities]] - tools that interface with a client, server, or data files, such as proxies, bots, or inventory editors.<br />
* [[Wrapper List|Wrappers]] - mods that override features in the client or server<br />
* [[Generator List|Generators]] - tools that extract data from mojang to a readable format<br />

<br />
''Minecraft'' Modern (officially ''Minecraft: Java Edition'') is one of the two updated versions of Minecraft which require a paid account to download, update and play. Most of the new development projects focus on either creating entirely new programs from scratch that interoperate with Minecraft (such as a bot or server) or modding projects that wrap the client or server and provide bug fixes, new features and enhancements to existing features.<br />
<br />
=== Documentation ===<br />
There are ongoing efforts to keep reverse engineered documentation updated, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. The protocol generally changes slightly with each release, and both the Client and Server classes get rearranged on each release. Below are links to the current documentation segments, which '''may or may not be completely up to date'''.<br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />

64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

Identifiers are a namespaced location, in the form of <code>minecraft:thing</code>. If the namespace is not provided, it defaults to <code>minecraft</code> (i.e. <code>thing</code> is <code>minecraft:thing</code>. Custom content should always be in its own namespace, not the default one. The namespace should only use the characters <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_</code>; actual names may contain more symbols. The naming convention is <code>lower_case_with_underscores</code>. [https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-17w43a More information].<br />

<b>Note:</b> What you are seeing here is the latest version of the [[Data types]] article, but the position type was [https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=14345#Position different before 1.14].<br />
<br />
64-bit value split in to three parts<br />
<br />
* x: 26 MSBs<br />
* z: 26 middle bits<br />
* y: 12 LSBs<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) | (y & 0xFFF)<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
val = read_unsigned_long();<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = val & 0xFFF;<br />
z = (val << 26 >> 38);<br />
<br />
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:<br />
<br />
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }<br />
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }<br />
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }<br />
<br />
<noinclude>== Fixed-point numbers ==</noinclude><includeonly>=== Fixed-point numbers ===</includeonly><br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int) (double * 32.0D);<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double) (abs_int / 32.0D);<br />

<hr />
<div>From Minecraft 1.13, the '''Command Graph''' data structure defines commands which can be used in chat or in command blocks, and how they're parsed.<br />
<br />
== Graph Structure ==<br />
<br />
The graph consists of nodes of type <code>root</code>, <code>literal</code> and <code>argument</code>. A node may point to a number child nodes, or redirect to another node, or neither. The root node is nameless, and its children are literal nodes for familiar commands ("msg", "me", etc). <br />
<br />
Nodes are marked as executable if the node stack to this point constitutes a valid command. E.g. this is false for <code>/ban</code> but true for <code>/ban Dinnerbone</code> and <code>/ban Dinnerbone created this crazy format</code>.<br />
<br />
When including redirects, this structure is a directed graph that may include cycles (e.g. consider <code>/execute run execute run execute ...</code>). When excluding redirects, the structure no longer contains cycles but may still not be a tree, as a node may have multiple parents.<br />
<br />

=== Parsers ===<br />
<br />
Clients are expected to implement all parsers, including properties (if any). If an unknown parser is encountered by a client, unpacking of the [[ Protocol#Declare_Commands | Declare Commands ]] packet should stop immediately, as the structure of the remainder of the packet cannot be guessed.<br />

=== Parsers ===<br />
<br />
Clients are expected to implement all parsers, including properties (if any). If an unknown parser is encountered by a client, unpacking of the [[ Protocol#Declare_Commands | Declare Commands ]] packet should stop immediately, as the structure of the remainder of the packet cannot be guessed.<br />

<hr />
<div>Minecraft 1.6 introduced a new authentication scheme called '''Yggdrasil''' which completely replaces the [[Legacy Authentication|previous authentication system]]. Mojang's other game, Scrolls, uses this method of authentication as well. Mojang has said that [https://twitter.com/KrisJelbring/status/453573406341206016 this authentication system should be used by everyone for custom logins], but [https://twitter.com/KrisJelbring/status/461390585086361600 credentials should never be collected from users]. For newer Microsoft accounts, see [[Microsoft Authentication Scheme]].<br />
<br />
== Request format ==<br />
<br />
All requests to Yggdrasil are made to the following server:<br />
<br />
https://authserver.mojang.com<br />
<br />
Further, they are expected to fulfill the following rules:<br />
<br />
* Are <code>POST</code> requests<br />
* Have the <code>Content-Type</code> header set to <code>application/json</code><br />
* Contain a [[wikipedia:JSON|JSON]]-encoded dictionary as payload<br />
<br />
If a request was successful the server will respond with:<br />
<br />
* Status code <code>200</code><br />
* A [[wikipedia:JSON|JSON]]-encoded dictionary according to the specifications below<br />
<br />
If however a request fails, the server will respond with:<br />
<br />
* An appropriate, non-200 [[wikipedia:List of HTTP status codes|HTTP status code]]<br />
* A [[wikipedia:JSON|JSON]]-encoded dictionary following this format:<br />
<br />

<br />
== Authenticate ==<br />
<br />
Authenticates a user using their password.<br />
<br />
=== Endpoint ===<br />
<br />
/authenticate<br />
<br />
=== Payload ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"><br />
{<br />
"agent": { // defaults to Minecraft<br />
"name": "Minecraft", // For Mojang's other game Scrolls, "Scrolls" should be used<br />
"version": 1 // This number might be increased<br />
// by the vanilla client in the future<br />
},<br />
"username": "mojang account name", // Can be an email address or player name for<br />
// unmigrated accounts<br />
"password": "mojang account password",<br />
"clientToken": "client identifier", // optional<br />
"requestUser": true // optional; default: false; true adds the user object to the response<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
The <code>clientToken</code> should be a randomly generated identifier and must be identical for each request. The vanilla launcher generates a random (version 4) UUID on first run and saves it, reusing it for every subsequent request. In case it is omitted the server will generate a random token based on Java's [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html#toString() <code>UUID.toString()</code>] which should then be stored by the client. This will however also invalidate all previously acquired <code>accessToken</code>s for this user across all clients.<br />
<br />
=== Response ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"><br />
{<br />
"user": {<br />
"username": "user@email.example", // will be account username for legacy accounts<br />
"properties": [<br />
{<br />
"name": "preferredLanguage",<br />
"value": "en-us"<br />
},<br />
{<br />
"name": "registrationCountry",<br />
"value": "country" // 2L country (e.g. US)<br />
}<br />
],<br />
"id": "hexadecimal string" // Different from the UUID, not sure what it is?<br />
},<br />
"clientToken": "client identifier",<br />
"accessToken": "random access token", // hexadecimal or JSON-Web-Token (unconfirmed) [The normal accessToken can be found in the payload of the JWT (second by '.' separated part as Base64 encoded JSON object), in key "yggt"]<br />
"availableProfiles": [<br />
{<br />
"name": "player username",<br />
"id": "hexadecimal string" // UUID of the account<br />
}<br />
],<br />
"selectedProfile": {<br />
"name": "player username",<br />
"id": "hexadecimal string" // UUID of the account<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
'''Note:''' If a user wishes to stay logged in on their computer you are strongly advised to store the received <code>accessToken</code> instead of the password itself.<br />
<br />
Currently each account will only have one single profile, multiple profiles per account are however planned in the future. If a user attempts to log into a valid Mojang account with no attached Minecraft license, the authentication will be successful, but the response will not contain a <code>selectedProfile</code> field, and the <code>availableProfiles</code> array will be empty.<br />
<br />
Some instances in the wild have been observed of Mojang returning a flat <code>null</code> for failed refresh attempts against legacy accounts. It's not clear what the actual error tied to the null response is and it is extremely rare, but implementations should be wary of null output from the response.<br />
<br />
This endpoint is severely rate-limited: multiple <code>/authenticate</code> requests for the same account in a short amount of time (think 3 requests in a few seconds), even with the correct password, will eventually lead to an <code>Invalid credentials.</code> response. This error clears up a few seconds later.<br />
<br />
== Refresh ==<br />
<br />
Refreshes a valid <code>accessToken</code>. It can be used to keep a user logged in between gaming sessions and is preferred over storing the user's password in a file (see [[lastlogin]]). <br />
<br />
=== Endpoint ===<br />
<br />
/refresh<br />
<br />
=== Payload ===<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"><br />
{<br />
"accessToken": "valid accessToken",<br />
"clientToken": "client identifier", // This needs to be identical to the one used<br />
// to obtain the accessToken in the first place<br />
"selectedProfile": { // optional; sending it will result in an error<br />
"id": "profile identifier", // hexadecimal<br />
"name": "player name"<br />
},<br />
"requestUser": true // optional; default: false; true adds the user object to the response<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Note: The provided <code>accessToken</code> gets invalidated.<br />
<br />
=== Response ===<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"><br />
{<br />
"accessToken": "random access token", // hexadecimal<br />
"clientToken": "client identifier", // identical to the one received<br />
"selectedProfile": {<br />
"id": "profile identifier", // hexadecimal<br />
"name": "player name"<br />
},<br />
"user": { // only present if requestUser was true in the request payload<br />
"id": "user identifier", // hexadecimal<br />
"properties": [<br />
{<br />
"name": "preferredLanguage", // might not be present for all accounts<br />
"value": "en" // Java locale format (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html#toString--)<br />
},<br />
{<br />
"name": "twitch_access_token", // only present if a twitch account is associated (see https://account.mojang.com/me/settings)<br />
"value": "twitch oauth token" // OAuth 2.0 Token; alphanumerical; e.g. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken?oauth_token=[...]<br />
// the Twitch API is documented here: https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API<br />
}<br />
]<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Validate ==<br />
<br />
Checks if an <code>accessToken</code> is usable for authentication with a Minecraft server. The Minecraft Launcher (as of version 1.6.13) calls this endpoint on startup to verify that its saved token is still usable, and calls <code>/refresh</code> if this returns an error.<br />
<br />
Note that an <code>accessToken</code> may be unusable for authentication with a Minecraft server, but still be good enough for <code>/refresh</code>. This mainly happens when one has used another client (e.g. played Minecraft on another PC with the same account). It seems only the most recently obtained <code>accessToken</code> for a given account can reliably be used for authentication (the next-to-last token also seems to remain valid, but don't rely on it).<br />
<br />
<code>/validate</code> may be called with or without a <code>clientToken</code>. If a <code>clientToken</code> is provided, it should match the one used to obtain the <code>accessToken</code>. The Minecraft Launcher does send a <code>clientToken</code> to <code>/validate</code>.<br />

This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft clients that users have worked or are working on. This page only lists clients written from scratch; for mods and wrappers, see the [[Utility List]] and the [[Wrapper List]].<br />
<br />
The column ''Game Graphics'' asks if your client displays in-game activity at a graphical level, such as world chunks, people or mobs moving, or any of that sort. If you are simply displaying things as text, that does '''not''' count. You can also optionally tell us the library you're using for your game graphics while providing your answer.<br style="clear:both;" /><br />

<div>This page documents the changes from the [[Protocol|last stable Minecraft release]] (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.15.2, protocol 578]]) to the current pre-release (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.16.2, protocol 751]]). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.<br />

=== Data types ===<br />
<br />
The UUID type is now also sometimes encoded by the Notchian server as an array of four 32-bit integers, from most significant to least significant (matching the new format used on entity NBT). This representation is identical to using 16 bytes, two 64-bit integers, or one 128-bit integers.<br />

([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|Overworld}}, it's up to the client to know in which dimenison 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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />

== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

<div>This page documents the changes from the [[Protocol|last stable Minecraft release]] (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.15.2, protocol 578]]) to the current pre-release (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.16.2, protocol 751]]). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
=== Data types ===<br />
<br />
The UUID type is now also sometimes encoded by the Notchian server as an array of four 32-bit integers, from most significant to least significant (matching the new format used on entity NBT). This representation is identical to using 16 bytes, two 64-bit integers, or one 128-bit integers.<br />

The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|Overworld}}, it's up to the client to know in which dimenison 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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />

==== Interact Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page documents the changes from the [[Protocol|last stable Minecraft release]] (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.15.2, protocol 578]]) to the current pre-release (currently [[Protocol version numbers|1.16.2, protocol 751]]). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

== Contents ==<br />

<div style="float:right;">__TOC__</div><br />
<br />
=== Data types ===<br />
<br />
The UUID type is now also sometimes encoded by the Notchian server as an array of four 32-bit integers, from most significant to least significant (matching the new format used on entity NBT). This representation is identical to using 16 bytes, two 64-bit integers, or one 128-bit integers.<br />

{{Need Info|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... ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /r/mojira discussion] which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether)}}<br />
<br />
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|Overworld}}, it's up to the client to know in which dimenison 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|Update Block Entity]] later).<br />

==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

{{Warning2|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).<br />
<br />
If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.}}<br />

This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft clients that users have worked or are working on. This page only lists clients written from scratch; for mods and wrappers, see the [[Utility List]] and the [[Wrapper List]].<br />
<br />
The column ''Game Graphics'' asks if your client displays in-game activity at a graphical level, such as world chunks, people or mobs moving, or any of that sort. If you are simply displaying things as text, that does '''not''' count. You can also optionally tell us the library you're using for your game graphics while providing your answer.<br style="clear:both;" /><br />

<hr />
<div>The Named Binary Tag (NBT) file format is an extremely simple, albeit annoying (did we really need yet ''another'' format?)<sup>[See Discussion]</sup> structured binary format used by the [http://www.minecraft.net Minecraft] game for a variety of things. Due to this, several third-party utilities now also utilize the format. You may find example files at the bottom of this article.<br />
<br />
Mojang has also released a reference implementation along with their Anvil conversion tool, available from https://mojang.com/2012/02/new-minecraft-map-format-anvil/<br />
<br />
== Current Uses ==<br />
The NBT format is currently used in several places, chiefly:<br />
* In the [[Protocol]] as part of [[Slot Data]]<br />
* Multiplayer saved server list (<code>servers.dat</code>).<br />
* Player data (both single player and multiplayer, one file per player). This includes such things as inventory and location.<br />
* Saved worlds (both single player and multiplayer).<br />
** World index file (<code>level.dat</code>) that contains general information (spawn point, time of day, etc...)<br />
** Chunk data (see [[Region Files]])<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the NBT files you can encounter as a developer will be stored in three different ways, just to make things interesting.<br />
* Uncompressed,<br />
* [[wikipedia:Gzip|gzip'd]],<br />
* [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib'd]] (aka DEFLATE with a few bytes extra)<br />
<br />
=== Libraries ===<br />
<br />
There are many, many libraries for manipulating NBT, written in several languages, and often several per language. For example,<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/nickelpro/cNBT C],<br />
* [https://github.com/SpockBotMC/cpp-nbt C++],<br />
* [https://github.com/fragmer/fNbt C#], <br />
* [https://github.com/Dav1dde/nbd D],<br />
* [https://github.com/Tnze/go-mc/tree/master/nbt Go (New)],<br />
* [https://github.com/toqueteos/minero/tree/master/proto/nbt Go (Old, without TagLongArray)],<br />
* [https://github.com/flow/nbt Java (Old, without TagLongArray)],<br />
* [https://github.com/sjmulder/nbt-js Javascript], <br />
* [https://github.com/TheFrozenFire/PHP-NBT-Decoder-Encoder PHP],<br />
* [https://github.com/twoolie/NBT Python],<br />
* [https://github.com/mental/nbtfile Ruby],<br />
* [https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/hematite_nbt Rust],<br />
* [https://github.com/drXor/ScalaNBT Scala],<br />
* [https://gist.github.com/camdenorrb/bec73c5608267f0232bd8f5c42e0784d Kotlin (300 lines, NIO, Endianness support, Examples in comments)], <br />
* [https://github.com/MrPNG/KotlinNBT Kotlin (with a builder DSL and type-safety)],<br />
* [https://github.com/DevSrSouza/KotlinNBT Kotlin Multiplatform], <br />
* You get the idea…<br />
<br />
Unless you have specific goals or licence requirements, it is ''extremely recommended'' to go with one of the existing libraries.<br />
<br />
=== Utilities ===<br />
Almost every 3rd-party Minecraft application uses NBT on some level. There also exist several dedicated NBT editors, which will likely be useful to you if you are developing an NBT library of your own. These include:<br />
* [https://minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-tools/1260521-nbtedit NBTEdit] (C#, Mono-capable), one of the very first NBT editors.<br />
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20180428090808/http://gerritg.de/wp/archives/152 NEINedit] (Obj-C), an OS X specific editor.<br />
* [https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/nbt2yaml nbt2yaml] (Python), provides command-line editing of NBT via the YAML format, as well as a fast and minimalist NBT parsing/rendering API.<br />
* [https://github.com/C4K3/nbted nbted] (Rust; CC0), provides command-line editing of NBT files via your $EDITOR<br />
* [https://github.com/midnightfreddie/nbt2json nbt2json] (Golang; MIT) Command-line utility for NBT to JSON/YAML conversion and back. MCPE-NBT support. Can be used as library.<br />
<br />
== Specification ==<br />
The NBT file format is extremely simple, and writing a library capable of reading/writing it is a simple affair. There are 13 datatypes supported by this format, one of which is used to close compound tags. It is strongly advised to read this entire section or you may run into issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Type ID<br />

! Payload Size (Bytes)<br />
! Description<br />
|-<br />
| 0 <br />
| TAG_End <br />
| 0 <br />
| Signifies the end of a TAG_Compound. It is only ever used inside a TAG_Compound, and is not named despite being in a TAG_Compound<br />

|-<br />
| 7<br />
| TAG_Byte_Array<br />
| ...<br />
| A length-prefixed array of '''signed''' bytes. The prefix is a '''signed''' integer (thus 4 bytes)<br />
|-<br />
| 8<br />
| TAG_String<br />
| ...<br />
| A length-prefixed [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/DataInput.html#modified-utf-8 modified UTF-8] string. The prefix is an '''unsigned''' short (thus 2 bytes) signifying the length of the string in bytes<br />
|-<br />
| 9<br />
| TAG_List<br />
| ...<br />
| A list of '''nameless''' tags, all of the same type. The list is prefixed with the <code>Type ID</code> of the items it contains (thus 1 byte), and the length of the list as a '''signed''' integer (a further 4 bytes). If the length of the list is 0 or negative, the type may be 0 (TAG_End) but otherwise it must be any other type. (The notchian implementation uses TAG_End in that situation, but another reference implementation by Mojang uses 1 instead; parsers should accept any type if the length is <= 0).<br />
|-<br />
| 10<br />
| TAG_Compound<br />
| ...<br />
| Effectively a list of a '''named''' tags. Order is not guaranteed.<br />
|-<br />
| 11<br />
| TAG_Int_Array<br />
| ...<br />
| A length-prefixed array of '''signed''' integers. The prefix is a '''signed''' integer (thus 4 bytes) and indicates the number of 4 byte integers.<br />
|-<br />
| 12<br />
| TAG_Long_Array<br />
| ...<br />
| A length-prefixed array of '''signed''' longs. The prefix is a '''signed''' integer (thus 4 bytes) and indicates the number of 8 byte longs.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
There are a couple of simple things to remember:<br />
* The datatypes representing numbers are in big-endian in Java edition, but Bedrock edition changes things up a bit. See the below section on Bedrock edition<br />
* Every NBT file will '''always''' implicitly be inside a tag compound, and also begin with a TAG_Compound (except in Bedrock edition, see below)<br />
* The structure of a NBT file is defined by the TAG_List and TAG_Compound types, as such a tag itself will only contain the payload, but depending on what the tag is contained within may contain additional headers. I.e. if it's inside a Compound, then each tag will begin with the TAG_id, and then a string (the tag's name), and finally the payload. While in a list it will be only the payload, as there is no name and the tag type is given in the beginning of the list.<br />
<br />
For example, here's the example layout of a <code>TAG_Short</code> on disk:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| <br />
! Type ID<br />
! Length of Name<br />
! Name<br />
! Payload<br />
|-<br />
! Decoded<br />
| 2<br />
| 9<br />
| <code>shortTest</code><br />
| <code>32767</code><br />
|-<br />
! On Disk (in hex)<br />
| <code>02</code><br />
| <code>00 09</code><br />
| <code>73 68 6F 72 74 54 65 73 74</code><br />
| <code>7F FF</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
If this <code>TAG_Short</code> had been in a <code>TAG_List</code>, it would have been nothing more than the payload, since the type is implied and tags within the first level of a list are nameless.<br />
<br />
=== Bedrock edition ===<br />
Bedrock edition makes a couple of significant changes to the NBT format. First of all, first tag in an NBT file can sometimes be a TAG_List instead of a TAG_Compound. Additionally, NBT data is encoded in one of two different formats, a little-endian version intended for writing to disk, and a VarInt version intended for transport over the network.<br />
<br />
==== Little-endian ====<br />
Identical to the big-endian format used by Java edition, but all numbers are encoded in little-endian. This includes the 16-bit length prefix before tag names and TAG_String values, as well as TAG_Float and TAG_Double values.<br />
<br />
==== VarInt ====<br />
This format is a bit more complex than the others. The differences from Java edition's big-endian format are as follows:<br />
* TAG_Short, TAG_Float and TAG_Double values are encoded as their little-endian counterparts<br />
* TAG_Int values and the length prefixes for TAG_List, TAG_Byte_Array, TAG_Int_Array and TAG_Long_Array are encoded as [https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#varints VarInts with ZigZag encoding]<br />
* TAG_Long values are encoded as [https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#varints VarLongs with ZigZag encoding]<br />
* All strings (Tag names and TAG_String values) are length-prefixed with a normal [https://wiki.vg/Protocol#VarInt_and_VarLong VarInt]<br />
<br />
=== Examples ===<br />
There are two defacto example files used for testing your implementation (<code>test.nbt</code> & <code>bigtest.nbt</code>), originally provided by Markus. The example output provided below was generated using [https://github.com/TkTech/PyNBT PyNBT]'s ''debug-nbt'' tool.<br />
<br />
==== test.nbt ====<br />
This first example is an uncompressed [[wikipedia:Hello world program|"Hello World"]] NBT example. Should you parse it correctly, you will get a structure similar to the following:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
TAG_Compound('hello world'): 1 entry<br />
{<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'Bananrama'<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Here is the example explained:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| (The entire thing is implicitly inside a compound)<br />
! Type ID (first element in the implicit compound)<br />
! Length of name of the root compound<br />
! Name of the root compound<br />
! Type ID of first element in root compound<br />
! Length of name of first element in root<br />
! Name of first element<br />
! Length of string<br />
! String<br />
! Tag end (of root compound)<br />
|-<br />
! Decoded<br />
| Compound<br />
| 11<br />
| ''hello world''<br />
| String<br />
| 4<br />
| ''name''<br />
| 9<br />
| ''Bananrama''<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
! On Disk (in hex)<br />
| <code>0a</code><br />
| <code>00 0b</code><br />
| <code>68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64</code><br />
| <code>08</code><br />
| <code>00 04</code><br />
| <code>6e 61 6d 65</code><br />
| <code>00 09</code><br />
| <code>42 61 6e 61 6e 72 61 6d 61</code><br />
| <code>00</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== bigtest.nbt ====<br />
This second example is a gzip compressed test of every available tag. If your program can successfully parse this file, then you've done well. Note that the tags under ''TAG_List'' do not have a name, as mentioned above. <br />
<pre><br />
TAG_Compound('Level'): 11 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_Compound('nested compound test'): 2 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_Compound('egg'): 2 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'Eggbert'<br />
TAG_Float('value'): 0.5<br />
}<br />
TAG_Compound('ham'): 2 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'Hampus'<br />
TAG_Float('value'): 0.75<br />
}<br />
}<br />
TAG_Int('intTest'): 2147483647<br />
TAG_Byte('byteTest'): 127<br />
TAG_String('stringTest'): 'HELLO WORLD THIS IS A TEST STRING \xc3\x85\xc3\x84\xc3\x96!'<br />
TAG_List('listTest (long)'): 5 entries<br />

}<br />
TAG_Compound(None): 2 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_Long('created-on'): 1264099775885L<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'Compound tag #1'<br />
}<br />
}<br />
TAG_Byte_Array('byteArrayTest (the first 1000 values of (n*n*255+n*7)%100, starting with n=0 (0, 62, 34, 16, 8, ...))'): [1000 bytes]<br />
TAG_Short('shortTest'): 32767<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== servers.dat ====<br />
The ''servers.dat'' file contains a list of multiplayer servers you've added to the game. To mix things up a bit, this file will always be uncompressed. Below is an example of the structure seen in ''servers.dat''.<br />
<pre><br />
TAG_Compound(<nowiki>''</nowiki>): 1 entry<br />
{<br />
TAG_List('servers'): 2 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_Compound(None): 3 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_Byte('acceptTextures'): 1 (Automatically accept resourcepacks from this server)<br />
TAG_String('ip'): '199.167.132.229:25620'<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'Dainz1 - Creative'<br />
<br />
}<br />
TAG_Compound(None): 3 entries<br />
{<br />
TAG_String('icon'): 'iVBORw0KGgoAAAANUhEUgAAAEAAAABACA...' (The base64-encoded server icon. Trimmed here for the example's sake)<br />
TAG_String('ip'): '76.127.122.65:25565'<br />
TAG_String('name'): 'minstarmin4'<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== level.dat ====<br />
This final example is of a single player ''level.dat'', which is compressed using gzip. Notice the player's inventory and general world details such as spawn position, world name, and the game seed.<br />
<pre><br />
TAG_Compound(<nowiki>''</nowiki>): 1 entry<br />

The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] ([[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], 0x00, serverbound) and [[#Login Success|Login Success]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x02, clientbound).<br />

! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points East, and Z points South.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />

=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the packet [[#Set Compression 2|Set Compression]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x03, clientbound), otherwise the receiving party will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending the packet [[#Set Compression 2|Set Compression]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x03, clientbound) with a Threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
{{Warning|This packet uses a nonstandard format. It is never length-prefixed, and the packet ID is an Unsigned Byte instead of a VarInt.}}<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

<br />

<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

Food {{Minecraft Wiki|Food#Hunger vs. Saturation|saturation}} acts as a food “overcharge”. Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw in degrees of a player standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player List Item|Player List Item]] ([[#Play|Play]], 0x38, clientbound) packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the tab list entry for the UUID included in this packet is not present when this packet arrives, the entity will not be spawned. The tab includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client.<br />

==== Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet may be used to initialize an entity.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Entity Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 4 blocks; if an entity moves more than 4 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

==== Entity Look And Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with Ground-Up Continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. Primary Bit Mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

<br />
==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
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 units, this will result in the client being kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”<br />
<br />
If the distance is greater than 10 units, the server will log the warning message "<name> moved too quickly!", followed by two coordinate triples (maybe movement delta?), but will not kick the client.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) one can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Digging ====<br />

|-<br />
| Drop item<br />
| <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating<br />
| <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />

<br />
In normal operation (i.e. placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
This packet has a special case where X, Y, Z, and Face 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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Confirm Transaction ====<br />
<br />
<SpaceManiac> noooo idea why the serverbound confirm transaction packet exists<br />
<SpaceManiac> I think it's sent as a response to the clientbound confirm transaction in some situations, but it's fuzzy<br />

<br />
==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Plugin Message ====<br />
<br />
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>.<br />
<br />

<br />
Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.<br />

== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]] and Set Compression<br />
<br />
Login Success and Set Compression can be sent in either order, but anything after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]]. The packet ID for Set Compression also depends on the current connection state, and Login Success switches the state to [[#Play|play]], meaning that the correct packet ID must be used depending on the order chosen.<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />

== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] ([[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], 0x00, serverbound) and [[#Login Success|Login Success]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x02, clientbound).<br />

=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| Data<br />
| Byte Array<br />
| zlib compressed packet data (see the sections below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet with a Threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While Position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw in degrees of a player standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player List Item|Player List Item]] ([[#Play|Play]], 0x38, clientbound) packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the tab list entry for the UUID included in this packet is not present when this packet arrives, the entity will not be spawned. The tab includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client.<br />

==== Entity Look And Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with Ground-Up Continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. Primary Bit Mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Plugin Message ====<br />
<br />
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>.<br />

==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
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 units, this will result in the client being kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”<br />
<br />
If the distance is greater than 10 units, the server will log the warning message "<name> moved too quickly!", followed by two coordinate triples (maybe movement delta?), but will not kick the client.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) one can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Digging ====<br />

|-<br />
| Drop item<br />
| <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />

| <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />

<br />
In normal operation (i.e. placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
This packet has a special case where X, Y, Z, and Face 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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Confirm Transaction ====<br />
<br />
<SpaceManiac> noooo idea why the serverbound confirm transaction packet exists<br />
<SpaceManiac> I think it's sent as a response to the clientbound confirm transaction in some situations, but it's fuzzy<br />

==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

<br />
Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.<br />

== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]] and Set Compression<br />
<br />
Login Success and Set Compression can be sent in either order, but anything after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]]. The packet ID for Set Compression also depends on the current connection state, and Login Success switches the state to [[#Play|play]], meaning that the correct packet ID must be used depending on the order chosen.<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />

== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] ([[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], 0x00, serverbound) and [[#Login Success|Login Success]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x02, clientbound).<br />

<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server.<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat etc. See {{Minecraft Wiki|Entity|the Minecraft Wiki article}} for a full list.<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID — or Entity ID — is a 4-byte sequence used to identify a specific entity. An entity's EID is unique on the entire server.<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points East, and Z points South.<br />
|-<br />
| Meter<br />
| The meter is Minecraft's base unit of length, equal to the length of a vertex of a solid block. The term “block” may be used to mean “meter” or “cubic meter”.<br />

<br />
=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />

|-<br />
| Data<br />
| Byte Array<br />
| zlib compressed packet data (see the sections below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the uncompressed length of (Packet ID + Data) must be equal to or over the threshold set in the [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet with a Threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Legacy Server List Ping ====<br />
<br />
While not technically part of the current protocol, legacy clients may send this packet to initiate [[Server List Ping]], and modern servers should handle it correctly.<br />

== Play ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While Position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />

<br />
==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

<br />
Food {{Minecraft Wiki|Food#Hunger vs. Saturation|saturation}} acts as a food “overcharge”. Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the player's position on the server.<br />
<br />
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?)”.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw in degrees of a player standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player List Item|Player List Item]] ([[#Play|Play]], 0x38, clientbound) packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the tab list entry for the UUID included in this packet is not present when this packet arrives, the entity will not be spawned. The tab includes skin/cape data.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client.<br />

<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

==== Entity Look And Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with Ground-Up Continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. Primary Bit Mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Plugin Message ====<br />
<br />
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>.<br />

==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
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 units, this will result in the client being kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”<br />
<br />
If the distance is greater than 10 units, the server will log the warning message "<name> moved too quickly!", followed by two coordinate triples (maybe movement delta?), but will not kick the client.<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than 3.2×10<sup>7</sup> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) one can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

|-<br />
| Drop item<br />
| <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />

| <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />

<br />
In normal operation (i.e. placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
This packet has a special case where X, Y, Z, and Face 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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the Mode and Button fields.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Confirm Transaction ====<br />
<br />
<SpaceManiac> noooo idea why the serverbound confirm transaction packet exists<br />
<SpaceManiac> I think it's sent as a response to the clientbound confirm transaction in some situations, but it's fuzzy<br />

<br />
==== Creative Inventory Action ====<br />
<br />
While the user is in the standard inventory (i.e., not a crafting bench) in Creative mode, the player will send this packet.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

== Login ==<br />
<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
# C→S: [[#Handshake|Handshake]] with Next State set to 2 (login)<br />
# C→S: [[#Login Start|Login Start]]<br />
# S→C: [[#Encryption Request|Encryption Request]]<br />
# Client auth<br />
# C→S: [[#Encryption Response|Encryption Response]]<br />
# Server auth, both enable encryption<br />
# S→C: [[#Login Success|Login Success]] and Set Compression<br />
<br />
Login Success and Set Compression can be sent in either order, but anything after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]]. The packet ID for Set Compression also depends on the current connection state, and Login Success switches the state to [[#Play|play]], meaning that the correct packet ID must be used depending on the order chosen.<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated and localhost connections (either of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection) there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />

<div>This page presents a dissection of the current stable [http://minecraft.net/game/ Minecraft] protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented [[Pre-release_protocol|elsewhere]]. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at [[Pocket Minecraft Protocol]].<br />
<br />
If you're having trouble, check out the [[Protocol_FAQ|FAQ]] or ask for help in the IRC channel ([irc://irc.freenode.net/mcdevs #mcdevs on irc.freenode.net]).<br />

{{Warning|As of 1.7 strings are now UTF-8 (prefixed with a VarInt giving the string's length in bytes) instead of UTF-16.}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7.6 all UUIDs used in the protocol now contain '-'. The session server still returns them without}}<br />

== Definitions ==<br />
<br />
The Minecraft server accepts connections from TCP clients and communicates with them using ''packets''. A packet is a sequence of bytes sent over the TCP connection. The meaning of a packet depends both on its packet ID and the current state of the connection. The initial state of each connection is [[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], and state is switched using the packets [[#Handshake|Handshake]] ([[#Handshaking|Handshaking]], 0x00, serverbound) and [[#Login Success|Login Success]] ([[#Login|Login]], 0x02, clientbound).<br />

=== With compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a [[#Set Compression|Set Compression]] packet is sent, [[wikipedia:Zlib|zlib]] compression is enabled for all following packets. The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />

<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the length of Data must be equal to or over the threshold set in the Set Compression packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a threshold of -1.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

Food {{Minecraft Wiki|Food#Hunger vs. Saturation|saturation}} acts as a food “overcharge”. Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the players position on the server.<br />
<br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) one can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground — its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each [[#Player Position|Player Position]] (and [[#Player Position And Look|Player Position And Look]]) packet sent by the client.<br />

==== Entity Velocity ====<br />
<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms); for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

==== Entity ====<br />
<br />
Most entity-related packets are subclasses of this packet. When sent from the server to the client, it may initialize the entry.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Entity Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 4 blocks; if an entity moves more than 4 blocks [[#Entity Teleport|Entity Teleport]] should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

==== Entity Look And Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves. Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers, this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with Ground-Up Continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. Primary Bit Mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

==== Block Break Animation ====<br />
<br />
0–9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the Minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.<br />

==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a [[#Creative Inventory Action|Creative Inventory Action]] packet instead.<br />

==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from false to true. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from true to false. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
Updates the player's XYZ position on the server.<br />
<br />
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 units, this will result in the client being kicked for “You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)”<br />
<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for “Illegal position”.<br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0, z0) and looking towards point (x, z) one can be calculated with:<br />
<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

|-<br />
| Drop item<br />
| <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating<br />
| <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />

In normal operation (i.e. placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Confirm Transaction ====<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Plugin Message ====<br />
<br />
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>.<br />
<br />
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/]<br />
<br />
Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.<br />

<br />
The login process is as follows:<br />
<br />
C->S : Handshake State=2<br />
C->S : Login Start<br />
S->C : Encryption Key Request<br />
(Client Auth)<br />
C->S : Encryption Key Response<br />
(Server Auth, Both enable encryption)<br />
S->C : Login Success (*)<br />
S->C : Set Compression (*)<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Login Success and Set Compression can be sent in either order, but anything after Set Compression must use the [[#With_compression|Post Compression packet format]].<br />
<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated and* localhost connections there is no encryption. In that case [[#Login Start|Login Start]] is directly followed by [[#Login Success|Login Success]].<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> It could be that only one of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection.<br />

This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft clients that users have worked or are working on. This page only lists clients written from scratch; for mods and wrappers, see the [[Utility List]].<br />
<br />
The column ''Game Graphics'' asks if your client displays in-game activity at a graphical level, such as world chunks, people or mobs moving, or any of that sort. If you are simply displaying things as text, that does '''not''' count. You can also optionally tell us the library you're using for your game graphics while providing your answer.<br style="clear:both;" /><br />

<div>This page presents a dissection of the current stable [http://minecraft.net/game/ Minecraft] protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented [[Pre-release_protocol|elsewhere]]. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at [[Pocket Minecraft Protocol]].<br />

{{Warning|As of 1.7 strings are now UTF-8 (prefixed with a VarInt giving the string's length in bytes) instead of UTF-16.}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7.6 all UUIDs used in the protocol now contain '-'. The session server still returns them without}}<br />

| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat in the world. This definition is subject to change as Notch extends the protocol<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID - or Entity ID - is a unique 4-byte integer used to identify a specific entity<br />
|-<br />
| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points East, and Z points South.<br />

=== Post compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a Set Compression packet is sent, zlib compression is enabled for all following packets. <br />
The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
{| class=wikitable<br />

|-<br />
| Data Length || VarInt || Length of uncompressed Data or 0<br />
|-<br />
| Data || || zlib compressed packet, including Packet ID<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the data's length must be equal to or over the threshold set in the Set Compression packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a threshold of -1.<br />

== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />

{{Warning|Malformed JSON will disconnect the client}}<br />
<br />
==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

==== Spawn Position ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server after login to specify the coordinates of the spawn point (the point at which players spawn at, and which the compass points to). It can be sent at any time to update the point compasses point at.<br />

==== Update Health ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server to update/set the health of the player it is sent to.<br />
<br />
Food saturation acts as a food "overcharge". Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the players position on the server. <br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />
<br />
About the flags field:<br />
<Dinnerbone> It's a bitfield, X/Y/Z/Y_ROT/X_ROT. If X is set, the x value is relative and not absolute.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, '''not''' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground - its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each Player Position [and Player Position & Look] packet sent by the client.<br />

==== Entity Velocity ====<br />
<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms);<br />
for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

<br />
Most entity-related packets are subclasses of this packet. When sent from the server to the client, it may initialize the entry.<br />
<br />
For player entities, either this packet or any move/look packet is sent every game tick.<br />
So the meaning of this packet is basically that the entity did not move/look since the last such packet.<br />

==== Entity Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 4 blocks; if an entity moves more than 4 blocks Entity Teleport should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

==== Entity Look and Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves.<br />
Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers,<br />
this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with ground-up continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. primary bit mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

<br />
0-9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a Creative Inventory Action packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from False to True. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from True to False. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the players XYZ position on the server. <br />
If <code>HeadY - FeetY</code> is less than <code>0.1</code> or greater than <code>1.65</code>, the stance is illegal and the client will be kicked with the message “Illegal Stance”.<br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position" <br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Player Digging ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3" | 0x07 || rowspan="3" | Play || rowspan="3" | Server<br />
| Status || Byte || The action the player is taking against the block (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Face || Byte || The face being hit (see below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Status can (currently) be one of six values:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Meaning !! Value<br />
|-<br />
| Started digging || <code>0</code><br />
|-<br />
| Cancelled digging || <code>1</code><br />
|-<br />
| Finished digging || <code>2</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item stack || <code>3</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item || <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating || <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| Value || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5<br />
|-<br />
| Offset || -Y || +Y || -Z || +Z || -X || +X<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In 1.7.3, when a player opens a door with left click the server receives Packet 0xE+start digging and opens the door.<br />
<br />
==== Player Block Placement ====<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|-<br />
| rowspan=6 | 0x08 || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Direction || Byte || The offset to use for block/item placement (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Held item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position X || Byte || The position of the crosshair on the block<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Y || Byte ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Z || Byte ||<br />
|}<br />
In normal operation (ie placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Held Item Change ====<br />

<br />
==== Close Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
<br />
==== Click Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the player when it clicks on a slot in a window.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|-<br />
| rowspan="6" | 0x0E || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />

|-<br />
| Clicked item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|}<br />
<br />
See [[Inventory#Windows|inventory windows]] for further information about how slots are indexed.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The Action number is actually a counter, starting at 1. This number is used by the server as a transaction ID to send back a [[#0x6A|Transaction packet]].<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the "Mode" and "Button" fields.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|}<br />
<br />
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 items), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging holded 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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999 , button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />
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.<br />

The login process is as follows:<br />
C->S : Handshake State=2<br />
C->S : Login Start<br />
S->C : Encryption Key Request<br />
(Client Auth)<br />
C->S : Encryption Key Response<br />
(Server Auth, Both enable encryption)<br />
S->C : Login Success<br />
<br />
For unauthenticated and* localhost connections there is no encryption.<br />
In that case Login Start is directly followed by Login Success.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> It could be that only one of the two conditions is enough for an unencrypted connection.<br />

[[Category:Minecraft Modern]]</div>Nickelpro1https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Protocol&diff=6313Protocol2014-12-31T15:42:07Z<p>Nickelpro1: Undo formating change, much easier to focus on clientbound and serverbound packets with them seperated</p>
<hr />
<div>This page presents a dissection of the current stable [http://minecraft.net/game/ Minecraft] protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented [[Pre-release_protocol|elsewhere]]. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at [[Pocket Minecraft Protocol]].<br />
<br />
If you're having trouble, check out the [[Protocol_FAQ|FAQ]] or ask for help in the IRC channel ([irc://irc.freenode.net/mcdevs #mcdevs on irc.freenode.net]).<br />

{{Warning|As of 1.7 strings are now UTF-8 (prefixed with a VarInt giving the string's length in bytes) instead of UTF-16.}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7.6 all UUIDs used in the protocol now contain '-'. The session server still returns them without}}<br />

<br />
=== Post compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a Set Compression packet is sent, zlib compression is enabled for all following packets. <br />
The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
{| class=wikitable<br />
! Name !! Type !! Notes<br />

|-<br />
| Data Length || VarInt || Length of uncompressed Data or 0<br />
|-<br />
| Data || || zlib compressed packet, including Packet ID<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the data's length must be equal to or over the threshold set in the Set Compression packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

<br />
==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />
<br />

|}<br />
{{Warning|Malformed JSON will disconnect the client}}<br />
<br />
==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Position ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server after login to specify the coordinates of the spawn point (the point at which players spawn at, and which the compass points to). It can be sent at any time to update the point compasses point at.<br />

==== Update Health ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server to update/set the health of the player it is sent to.<br />
<br />
Food saturation acts as a food "overcharge". Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

{{Warning|If the Dimension isn't valid then the client will crash}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the players position on the server. <br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />
<br />
About the flags field:<br />
<Dinnerbone> It's a bitfield, X/Y/Z/Y_ROT/X_ROT. If X is set, the x value is relative and not absolute.<br />

|-<br />
| 104 || Crouch<br />
|-<br />
| 105 || Uncrouch<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, '''not''' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground - its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each Player Position [and Player Position & Look] packet sent by the client.<br />

Calculating the center of an image: given a (width x height) grid of cells, with (0, 0) being the top left corner, the center is (max(0, width / 2 - 1), height / 2). E.g.<br />
<br />
2x1 (1, 0)<br />
4x4 (1, 2)<br />

<br />
==== Entity Velocity ====<br />
<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms);<br />
for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

==== Entity ====<br />
<br />
Most entity-related packets are subclasses of this packet. When sent from the server to the client, it may initialize the entry.<br />
<br />
For player entities, either this packet or any move/look packet is sent every game tick.<br />
So the meaning of this packet is basically that the entity did not move/look since the last such packet.<br />

==== Entity Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 4 blocks; if an entity moves more than 4 blocks Entity Teleport should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

<br />
==== Entity Look and Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves.<br />
Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers,<br />
this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with ground-up continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. primary bit mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />

<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

<br />
0-9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.<br />

<br />
==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />
<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a Creative Inventory Action packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from False to True. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from True to False. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
Updates the players XYZ position on the server. <br />
If <code>HeadY - FeetY</code> is less than <code>0.1</code> or greater than <code>1.65</code>, the stance is illegal and the client will be kicked with the message “Illegal Stance”.<br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position" <br />

<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

==== Player Digging ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3" | 0x07 || rowspan="3" | Play || rowspan="3" | Server<br />
| Status || Byte || The action the player is taking against the block (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Face || Byte || The face being hit (see below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Status can (currently) be one of six values:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Meaning !! Value<br />
|-<br />
| Started digging || <code>0</code><br />
|-<br />
| Cancelled digging || <code>1</code><br />
|-<br />
| Finished digging || <code>2</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item stack || <code>3</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item || <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating || <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| Value || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5<br />
|-<br />
| Offset || -Y || +Y || -Z || +Z || -X || +X<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In 1.7.3, when a player opens a door with left click the server receives Packet 0xE+start digging and opens the door.<br />
<br />
==== Player Block Placement ====<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|-<br />
| rowspan=6 | 0x08 || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />

|-<br />
| Direction || Byte || The offset to use for block/item placement (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Held item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position X || Byte || The position of the crosshair on the block<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Y || Byte ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Z || Byte ||<br />
|}<br />
In normal operation (ie placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

==== Close Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window. <br />
<br />
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. <br />

|-<br />
| rowspan="6" | 0x0E || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />

|-<br />
| Clicked item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|}<br />
<br />
See [[Inventory#Windows|inventory windows]] for further information about how slots are indexed.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The Action number is actually a counter, starting at 1. This number is used by the server as a transaction ID to send back a [[#0x6A|Transaction packet]].<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the "Mode" and "Button" fields.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
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 items), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging holded 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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999 , button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />
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.<br />

<br />
==== Plugin Message ====<br />
<br />
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>.<br />
<br />
More documentation on this: http://dinnerbone.com/blog/2012/01/13/minecraft-plugin-channels-messaging/<br />
<br />
Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.<br />

For unauthenticated and* localhost connections there is no encryption.<br />
In that case Login Start is directly followed by Login Success.<br />
<br />

This is a rather incomplete list of Minecraft clients that users have worked or are working on. This page only lists clients written from scratch; for mods and wrappers, see the [[Utility List]].<br />
<br />
The column ''Game Graphics'' asks if your client displays in-game activity at a graphical level, such as world chunks, people or mobs moving, or any of that sort. If you are simply displaying things as text, that does '''not''' count. You can also optionally tell us the library you're using for your game graphics while providing your answer.<br style="clear:both;" /><br />

<hr />
<div>This page presents a dissection of the current stable [http://minecraft.net/game/ Minecraft] protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented [[Pre-release_protocol|elsewhere]]. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at [[Pocket Minecraft Protocol]].<br />
<br />
If you're having trouble, check out the [[Protocol_FAQ|FAQ]] or ask for help in the IRC channel ([irc://irc.freenode.net/mcdevs #mcdevs on irc.freenode.net]).<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' While you may use the contents of this page without restriction to create servers, clients, bots, etc… you still need to provide attribution to #mcdevs if you copy any of the contents of this page for publication elsewhere.<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7 strings are now UTF-8 (prefixed with a VarInt giving the string's length in bytes) instead of UTF-16.}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7.6 all UUIDs used in the protocol now contain '-'. The session server still returns them without}}<br />
<br />
The changes between versions may be viewed at [[Protocol History]]<br />

! Term<br />
! Definition<br />
|-<br />
| Player<br />
| When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server<br />
|-<br />
| Entity<br />
| Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat in the world. This definition is subject to change as Notch extends the protocol<br />
|-<br />
| EID<br />
| An EID - or Entity ID - is a unique 4-byte integer used to identify a specific entity<br />

| XYZ<br />
| In this document, the axis names are the same as those shown in the debug screen (F3). Y points upwards, X points East, and Z points South.<br />

<br />
=== Post compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a Set Compression packet is sent, zlib compression is enabled for all following packets. <br />
The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
{| class=wikitable<br />
! Name !! Type !! Notes<br />

|-<br />
| Data Length || VarInt || Length of uncompressed Data or 0<br />
|-<br />
| Data || || zlib compressed packet, including Packet ID<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the data's length must be equal to or over the threshold set in the Set Compression packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

<br />
== Play ==<br />
<br />
=== Clientbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />

==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the players position on the server. <br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />
<br />
About the flags field:<br />
<Dinnerbone> It's a bitfield, X/Y/Z/Y_ROT/X_ROT. If X is set, the x value is relative and not absolute.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, '''not''' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground - its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each Player Position [and Player Position & Look] packet sent by the client.<br />

<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms);<br />
for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

Most entity-related packets are subclasses of this packet. When sent from the server to the client, it may initialize the entry.<br />
<br />
For player entities, either this packet or any move/look packet is sent every game tick.<br />
So the meaning of this packet is basically that the entity did not move/look since the last such packet.<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with ground-up continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. primary bit mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />

<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

<br />
0-9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.<br />

| Keep Alive ID || VarInt ||<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />
<br />
For more information, see [[Chat]].<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a Creative Inventory Action packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from False to True. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from True to False. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

<br />
==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the players XYZ position on the server. <br />
If <code>HeadY - FeetY</code> is less than <code>0.1</code> or greater than <code>1.65</code>, the stance is illegal and the client will be kicked with the message “Illegal Stance”.<br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position" <br />

<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Player Digging ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3" | 0x07 || rowspan="3" | Play || rowspan="3" | Server<br />
| Status || Byte || The action the player is taking against the block (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Face || Byte || The face being hit (see below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Status can (currently) be one of six values:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Meaning !! Value<br />
|-<br />
| Started digging || <code>0</code><br />
|-<br />
| Cancelled digging || <code>1</code><br />
|-<br />
| Finished digging || <code>2</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item stack || <code>3</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item || <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating || <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| Value || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5<br />
|-<br />
| Offset || -Y || +Y || -Z || +Z || -X || +X<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In 1.7.3, when a player opens a door with left click the server receives Packet 0xE+start digging and opens the door.<br />
<br />
==== Player Block Placement ====<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan=6 | 0x08 || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Direction || Byte || The offset to use for block/item placement (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Held item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position X || Byte || The position of the crosshair on the block<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Y || Byte ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Z || Byte ||<br />
|}<br />
In normal operation (ie placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Held Item Change ====<br />

<br />
==== Close Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
<br />
==== Click Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the player when it clicks on a slot in a window.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="6" | 0x0E || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />

|-<br />
| Clicked item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|}<br />
<br />
See [[Inventory#Windows|inventory windows]] for further information about how slots are indexed.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The Action number is actually a counter, starting at 1. This number is used by the server as a transaction ID to send back a [[#0x6A|Transaction packet]].<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the "Mode" and "Button" fields.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|}<br />
<br />
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 items), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging holded 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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999 , button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />
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.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page presents a dissection of the current stable [http://minecraft.net/game/ Minecraft] protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented [[Pre-release_protocol|elsewhere]]. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at [[Pocket Minecraft Protocol]].<br />
<br />
If you're having trouble, check out the [[Protocol_FAQ|FAQ]] or ask for help in the IRC channel ([irc://irc.freenode.net/mcdevs #mcdevs on irc.freenode.net]).<br />

{{Warning|As of 1.7 strings are now UTF-8 (prefixed with a VarInt giving the string's length in bytes) instead of UTF-16.}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning|As of 1.7.6 all UUIDs used in the protocol now contain '-'. The session server still returns them without}}<br />

<br />
=== Post compression ===<br />
<br />
Once a Set Compression packet is sent, zlib compression is enabled for all following packets. <br />
The format of a packet changes slighty to include the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
{| class=wikitable<br />

| Data Length || VarInt || Length of uncompressed Data or 0<br />
|-<br />
| Data || || zlib compressed packet, including Packet ID<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The length given by the Packet Length field is the number of bytes that remain in that packet, including the Data Length field.<br />
<br />
If Data Length is set to zero, then the packet is uncompressed; otherwise it is the size of the uncompressed packet.<br />
<br />
If compressed, the data's length must be equal to or over the threshold set in the Set Compression packet, otherwise the client/server will disconnect.<br />
<br />
Compression can be disabled by sending a threshold of -1.<br />
<br />
== Handshaking ==<br />
<br />
=== Serverbound ===<br />
<br />
==== Handshake ====<br />
This causes the server to switch into the target state.<br />

<br />
==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet. If the client does not respond to them for over 30 seconds, the server kicks the client. Vice versa, if the server does not send any keep-alives for 20 seconds, the client will disconnect and yields a "Timed out" exception.<br />

==== Chat Message ==== <br />
<br />
Identifying the difference between Chat/System Message is important as it helps respect the user's chat visibility options. While position 2 accepts json formatting it will not display, old style formatting works<br />

|}<br />
{{Warning|Malformed JSON will disconnect the client}}<br />
<br />
==== Time Update ====<br />
<br />
Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.<br />
<br />
The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.<br />
<br />
The default SMP server increments the time by <code>20</code> every second.<br />

<br />
==== Spawn Position ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server after login to specify the coordinates of the spawn point (the point at which players spawn at, and which the compass points to). It can be sent at any time to update the point compasses point at.<br />

==== Update Health ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server to update/set the health of the player it is sent to.<br />
<br />
Food saturation acts as a food "overcharge". Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.<br />

<br />
==== Respawn ====<br />
<br />
To change the player's dimension (overworld/nether/end), send them a respawn packet with the appropriate dimension, followed by prechunks/chunks for the new dimension, and finally a position and look packet. You do not need to unload chunks, the client will do it automatically.<br />

<br />
{{Warning|Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)}}<br />
<br />
==== Player Position And Look ==== <br />
<br />
Updates the players position on the server. <br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />
<br />
About the flags field:<br />
<Dinnerbone> It's a bitfield, X/Y/Z/Y_ROT/X_ROT. If X is set, the x value is relative and not absolute.<br />

|-<br />
| 104 || Crouch<br />
|-<br />
| 105 || Uncrouch<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==== Spawn Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, '''not''' when a player joins.<br />
<br />
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.<br />
<br />
When in online-mode the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs, in offline-mode UUID v3 is used.<br />
<br />
For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:<br />
<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)<br />
<br />
In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.<br />

==== Collect Item ====<br />
<br />
Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground - its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each Player Position [and Player Position & Look] packet sent by the client.<br />

==== Entity Velocity ====<br />
<br />
Velocity is believed to be in units of 1/8000 of a block per server tick (50ms);<br />
for example, -1343 would move (-1343 / 8000) = −0.167875 blocks per tick (or −3,3575 blocks per second).<br />

==== Entity ====<br />
<br />
Most entity-related packets are subclasses of this packet. When sent from the server to the client, it may initialize the entry.<br />
<br />
For player entities, either this packet or any move/look packet is sent every game tick.<br />
So the meaning of this packet is basically that the entity did not move/look since the last such packet.<br />

==== Entity Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity moves less then 4 blocks; if an entity moves more than 4 blocks Entity Teleport should be sent instead.<br />
<br />
This packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction, because byte range is from -128 to 127.<br />

==== Entity Look and Relative Move ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the server when an entity rotates and moves.<br />
Since a byte range is limited from -128 to 127, and movement is offset of fixed-point numbers,<br />
this packet allows at most four blocks movement in any direction. (-128/32 == -4)<br />

==== Chunk Data ====<br />
<br />
Chunks are not unloaded by the client automatically. To unload chunks, send this packet with ground-up continuous=true and no 16^3 chunks (eg. primary bit mask=0). The server does not send skylight information for nether-chunks, it's up to the client to know if the player is currently in the nether. You can also infer this information from the primary bitmask and the amount of uncompressed bytes sent.<br />
<br />
See also: [[SMP Map Format]]<br />
<br />
Changes in 1.8:<br />
<br />
* Data value section removed<br />
* Extended id section removed<br />
* Block id section is now a unsigned short (little endian) per a block<br />
* The block id is equal to <code>(id << 4) | data</code><br />

<br />
0-9 are the displayable destroy stages and each other number means that there is no animation on this coordinate.<br />
<br />
You can also set an animation to air! The animation will still be visible.<br />
<br />
If you need to display several break animations at the same time you have to give each of them a unique Entity ID.<br />
<br />
Also if you set the coordinates to a special block like water etc. it won't show the actual break animation but some other interesting effects. (Water will lose it's transparency)<br />

==== Effect ====<br />
<br />
Sent when a client is to play a sound or particle effect.<br />
<br />
By default, the minecraft client adjusts the volume of sound effects based on distance. The final boolean field is used to disable this, and instead the effect is played from 2 blocks away in the correct direction. Currently this is only used for effect 1013 (mob.wither.spawn), and is ignored for any other value by the client.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
The latter 2 floats are used to indicate the walking and flying speeds respectively, while the first byte is used to determine the value of 4 booleans.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />

==== Keep Alive ====<br />
<br />
The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.<br />

<br />
==== Chat Message ====<br />
<br />
The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.<br />
<br />

==== Use Entity ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Note that middle-click in creative mode is interpreted by the client and sent as a Creative Inventory Action packet instead.<br />

<br />
==== Player ====<br />
<br />
This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).<br />
<br />
When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from False to True. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from True to False. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.<br />

==== Player Position ====<br />
<br />
Updates the players XYZ position on the server. <br />
If <code>HeadY - FeetY</code> is less than <code>0.1</code> or greater than <code>1.65</code>, the stance is illegal and the client will be kicked with the message “Illegal Stance”.<br />
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 units will result in the client being kicked for "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)"<br />
Also if the fixed-point number of X or Z is set greater than <code>3.2E7D</code> the client will be kicked for "Illegal position" <br />

==== Player Look ====<br />
<br />
[[File:Minecraft-trig-yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle for yaw]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Yaw.png|thumb|The unit circle of yaw, redrawn]]<br />
<br />
Updates the direction the player is looking in.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
The yaw of player (in degrees), standing at point (x0,z0) and looking towards point (x,z) one can be calculated with:<br />
l = x-x0<br />
w = z-z0<br />
c = sqrt( l*l + w*w )<br />
alpha1 = -arcsin(l/c)/PI*180<br />
alpha2 = arccos(w/c)/PI*180<br />
if alpha2 > 90 then<br />
yaw = 180 - alpha1<br />
else<br />
yaw = alpha1<br />
<br />
Pitch is measured in degrees, where 0 is looking straight ahead, -90 is looking straight up, and 90 is looking straight down.<br />
<br />
You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:<br />
x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)<br />
y = -sin(pitch)<br />
z = cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)<br />

<br />
==== Player Digging ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="3" | 0x07 || rowspan="3" | Play || rowspan="3" | Server<br />
| Status || Byte || The action the player is taking against the block (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Face || Byte || The face being hit (see below)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Status can (currently) be one of six values:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Meaning !! Value<br />
|-<br />
| Started digging || <code>0</code><br />
|-<br />
| Cancelled digging || <code>1</code><br />
|-<br />
| Finished digging || <code>2</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item stack || <code>3</code><br />
|-<br />
| Drop item || <code>4</code><br />
|-<br />
| Shoot arrow / finish eating || <code>5</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| Value || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5<br />
|-<br />
| Offset || -Y || +Y || -Z || +Z || -X || +X<br />
|}<br />
<br />
In 1.7.3, when a player opens a door with left click the server receives Packet 0xE+start digging and opens the door.<br />
<br />
==== Player Block Placement ====<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan=6 | 0x08 || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />
| Location || Position || Block position<br />
|-<br />
| Direction || Byte || The offset to use for block/item placement (see below)<br />
|-<br />
| Held item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position X || Byte || The position of the crosshair on the block<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Y || Byte ||<br />
|-<br />
| Cursor position Z || Byte ||<br />
|}<br />
In normal operation (ie placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Held Item Change ====<br />

<br />
==== Close Window ====<br />
<br />
This packet is sent by the client when closing a window. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
This packet is sent by the player when it clicks on a slot in a window.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Packet ID !! Category !! Bound To !! Field Name !! Field Type !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="6" | 0x0E || rowspan=6 | Play || rowspan=6 | Server<br />

|-<br />
| Clicked item || [[Slot_Data|Slot]] ||<br />
|}<br />
<br />
See [[Inventory#Windows|inventory windows]] for further information about how slots are indexed.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The Action number is actually a counter, starting at 1. This number is used by the server as a transaction ID to send back a [[#0x6A|Transaction packet]].<br />
<br />
The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the "Mode" and "Button" fields.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|}<br />
<br />
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 items), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging holded 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):<br />
<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999 , button (0 for left | 4 for right);<br />
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);<br />
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);<br />
<br />
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.<br />

==== Player Abilities ====<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The flags are whether damage is disabled (god mode, 8, bit 3), whether the player can fly (4, bit 2), whether the player is flying (2, bit 1), and whether the player is in creative mode (1, bit 0).<br />
<br />
To get the values of these booleans, simply AND (&) the byte with 1,2,4 and 8 respectively, to get the 0 or 1 bitwise value. To set them OR (|) them with their repspective masks.<br />
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.<br />

Note that the data length is known from the packet length, so there is no need for a length member being sent.<br />

y = (val >> 26) & 0xFFF<br />

<br />
=== Fixed-point numbers ===<br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int)double * 32;<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double)abs_int / 32;<br />

<br />
x: 24 MSBs<br />
z: 24 LSBs<br />
y: 12 bits between them<br />
<br />
Encoded as followed:<br />
<br />
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | ((y & 0xFFF) << 26) | (z & 0x3FFFFFF)<br />
<br />
<br />
And decoded as:<br />
<br />
long val; // Encoded value<br />
x = val >> 38;<br />
y = (val >> 26) & 0xFFF<br />
z = val << 38 >> 38<br />

=== Fixed-point numbers ===<br />
<br />
Some fields may be stored as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic fixed-point numbers], where a certain number of bits represents the signed integer part (number to the left of the decimal point) and the rest represents the fractional part (to the right). Floating points (float and double), in contrast, keep the number itself (mantissa) in one chunk, while the location of the decimal point (exponent) is stored beside it. <br />
<br />
Essentially, while fixed-point numbers have lower range than floating points, their fractional precision is greater for higher values. This makes them ideal for representing global coordinates of an entity in Minecraft, as it's more important to store the integer part accurately than position them more precisely within a single block (or meter). <br />
<br />
Coordinates are often represented as a 32-bit integer, where 5 of the least-significant bits are dedicated to the fractional part, and the rest store the integer part.<br />
<br />
Java lacks support for fractional integers directly, but you can represent them as integers. To convert from a double to this integer representation, use the following formulas:<br />
abs_int = (int)double * 32;<br />
And back again:<br />
<br />
double = (double)abs_int / 32;<br />
