This is the Bedrock Edition Protocol Documentation. The Bedrock Edition Protocol uses UDP instead of TCP that is used for the Java Edition. Bedrock Edition uses RakNet as its protocol library.
The default Bedrock Edition port is 19132.
Information for this page was obtained from the NukkitX Protocol library, MiNET and gophertunnel.

Packet Format
Bedrock Edition uses RakNet as its protocol library, so the packets are sent that way. The UDP protocol specifies packet length, so unlike Java Edition and TCP which deal with raw data streams packets are not length-prefixed. Packets seem to always use compression and can also use encryption. Multiple packets can also be batched into a single packet.
Packet compression uses zlib, and it seems that packet data can be fed directly into zlib (after being decrypted if encryption is enabled).
Refer to gophertunnel for more information.
Login process
The login process is as follows:
- C→S: Login
- S→C: Server To Client Handshake
- C→S: Client To Server Handshake
- S→C: Play Status (Login success)
To spawn, the following packets should be sent, in order, after the ones above:
- S→C: Resource Packs Info
- C→S: Resource Pack Client Response
- S→C: Resource Pack Stack
- C→S: Resource Pack Client Response
- S→C: Start Game
- S→C: Creative Content
- S→C: Biome Definition List
- S→C: Level Chunk
- S→C: Play Status (Player spawn)
If there are no resource packs being sent, a Resource Pack Stack can be sent directly after Resource Packs Info to avoid the client responses.
Packets
Please note that some packet ids are missing, so they don't line up. The following packet ids are missing: 0x10, 0x74, 0x7F, 0x80 (16, 116, 127, 128)

Set Time
Sent by the server to update the current time client-side. The client actually advances time client-side by itself, so this packet does not need to be sent each tick. It is merely a means of synchronizing time between server and client.
Packet ID | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0x0A | Client | Time | SignedVarInt | Time is the current time. The time is not limited to 24000 (time of day), but continues progressing after that. |

Sent by the server to send information about the world the player will be spawned in.
Packet ID | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0x0B | Client | Entity ID Self | SignedVarLong | The unique ID of the player. The unique ID is a value that remains consistent across different sessions of the same world, but most unofficial servers simply fill the runtime ID of the entity out for this field. |
Runtime Entity ID | VarLong | The runtime ID of the player. The runtime ID is unique for each world session, and entities are generally identified in packets using this runtime ID. | ||
Player Gamemode | SignedVarInt | |||
Spawn | Vector3 | The spawn position of the player in the world. In servers this is often the same as the world's spawn position found below. | ||
Rotation | Vector2 | The pitch and yaw of the player | ||
Seed | SignedVarInt | The seed used to generate the world. Unlike in Java edition, the seed is a 32bit Integer here. | ||
Spawn Biome Type | Short | |||
Custom Biome Name | String | |||
Dimension | SignedVarInt | Dimension is the ID of the dimension that the player spawns in. It is a value from 0-2, with 0 being the overworld, 1 being the nether and 2 being the end. | ||
Generator | SignedVarInt | Generator is the generator used for the world. It is a value from 0-4, with 0 being old limited worlds, 1 being infinite worlds, 2 being flat worlds, 3 being nether worlds and 4 being end worlds. A value of 0 will actually make the client stop rendering chunks you send beyond the world limit. | ||
World Gamemode | SignedVarInt | The game mode that a player gets when it first spawns in the world. It is shown in the settings and is used if the Player Gamemode is set to 5. | ||
Difficulty | SignedVarInt | Difficulty is the difficulty of the world. It is a value from 0-3, with 0 being peaceful, 1 being easy, 2 being normal and 3 being hard. | ||
World Spawn | BlockCoordinates | The block on which the world spawn of the world. This coordinate has no effect on the place that the client spawns, but it does have an effect on the direction that a compass poInts. | ||
Has achievements disabled | Boolean | Defines if achievements are disabled in the world. The client crashes if this value is set to true while the player's or the world's game mode is creative, and it's recommended to simply always set this to false as a server. | ||
Day cycle stop time | SignedVarInt | The time at which the day cycle was locked if the day cycle is disabled using the respective game rule. The client will maIntain this time as Boolean as the day cycle is disabled. | ||
EDU offer | SignedVarInt | Some Minecraft: Education Edition field that specifies what 'region' the world was from, with 0 being None, 1 being RestOfWorld, and 2 being China. The actual use of this field is unknown. | ||
Has Education Edition features enabled | Boolean | Specifies if the world has education edition features enabled, such as the blocks or entities specific to education edition. | ||
Education Production ID | String | |||
Rain level | Float | The level specifying the Intensity of the rain falling. When set to 0, no rain falls at all. | ||
Lightning level | Float | The level specifying the Intensity of the thunder. This may actually be set independently from the rain level, meaning dark clouds can be produced without rain. | ||
Has Confirmed Platform Locked Content | Boolean | |||
Is Multiplayer | Boolean | Specifies if the world is a multi-player game. This should always be set to true for servers. | ||
Broadcast To LAN | Boolean | Specifies if LAN broadcast was Intended to be enabled for the world. | ||
Xbox Live Broadcast Mode | VarInt | The mode used to broadcast the joined game across XBOX Live. | ||
Platform Broadcast Mode | VarInt | The mode used to broadcast the joined game across the platform. | ||
Enable commands | Boolean | If commands are enabled for the player. It is recommended to always set this to true on the server, as setting it to false means the player cannot, under any circumstance, use a command. | ||
Are texture packs required | Boolean | Specifies if the texture pack the world might hold is required, meaning the client was forced to download it before joining. | ||
GameRules | GameRules | Defines game rules currently active with their respective values. The value of these game rules may be either 'bool', 'Int32' or 'Float32'. Some game rules are server side only, and don't necessarily need to be sent to the client. | ||
Bonus Chest | Boolean | Specifies if the world had the bonus map setting enabled when generating it. It does not have any effect client-side. | ||
Map Enabled | Boolean | Specifies if the world has the start with map setting enabled, meaning each joining player obtains a map. This should always be set to false, because the client obtains a map all on its own accord if this is set to true. | ||
Permission Level | SignedVarInt | The permission level of the player. It is a value from 0-3, with 0 being visitor, 1 being member, 2 being operator and 3 being custom. | ||
Server Chunk Tick Range | Int | The radius around the player in which chunks are ticked. Most servers set this value to a fixed number, as it does not necessarily affect anything client-side. | ||
Has Locked Behavior Pack | Boolean | Specifies if the texture pack of the world is locked, meaning it cannot be disabled from the world. This is typically set for worlds on the marketplace that have a dedicated texture pack. | ||
Has Locked Resource Pack | Boolean | Specifies if the texture pack of the world is locked, meaning it cannot be disabled from the world. This is typically set for worlds on the marketplace that have a dedicated texture pack. | ||
Is From Locked World Template | Boolean | Specifies if the world from the server was from a locked world template. For servers this should always be set to false. | ||
Use MSA Gamertags Only | Boolean | |||
Is From World Template | Boolean | Specifies if the world from the server was from a locked world template. For servers this should always be set to false. | ||
Is World Template Option Locked | Boolean | Specifies if the world was a template that locks all settings that change properties above in the settings GUI. It is recommended to set this to true for servers that do not allow things such as setting game rules through the GUI. | ||
Only Spawn V1 Villagers | Boolean | A hack that Mojang put in place to preserve backwards compatibility with old villagers. The his never actually read though, so it has no functionality. | ||
Game Version | String | The version of the game from which Vanilla features will be used. The exact function of this field isn't clear. | ||
Limited World Width | Int | |||
Limited World Height | Int | |||
Is Nether Type | Boolean | |||
Is Force Experimental Gameplay | Boolean | |||
Level ID | String | A base64 encoded world ID that is used to identify the world. | ||
World name | String | The name of the world that the player is joining. Note that this field shows up above the player list for the rest of the game session, and cannot be changed. Setting the server name to this field is recommended. | ||
Premium World Template Id | String | A UUID specific to the premium world template that might have been used to generate the world. Servers should always fill out an empty String for this. | ||
Is Trial | Boolean | Specifies if the world was a trial world, meaning features are limited and there is a time limit on the world. | ||
Movement type | VarInt | Specifies the movement type as an ordinal - client authoritative (MovePlayerPacket), server authoritative (PlayerAuthInputPacket), or server authoritative with rewind | ||
Movement rewind size | Int | Always present, but only relevant if the movement type is server authoritative with rewind. | ||
Server authoritative block breaking | Boolean | |||
Current Tick | Long LE | The total time in ticks that has elapsed since the start of the world. | ||
Enchantment Seed | SignedVarInt | The seed used to seed the random used to produce enchantments in the enchantment table. Note that the exact correct random implementation must be used to produce the correct results both client- and server-side. | ||
Block Properties | Block Properties | An array of string followed by tag for each custom block on the server. | ||
Itemstates | Itemstates | A list of all items with their legacy IDs which are available in the game. Failing to send any of the items that are in the game will crash mobile clients. Each entry in the array consists of a string, followed by a Little Endian Short ID, followed by a boolean if the item is component based | ||
Multiplayer Correlation ID | String | A unique ID specifying the multi-player session of the player. A random UUID should be filled out for this field. | ||
Inventories server authoritative | Boolean | If true, the ItemStackRequestPacket is used to send inventory transactions. Otherwise, the InventoryTransactionPacket is used. |
In order to use custom blocks, you must add data_driven_items
as an ExperimentData
in this packet with its value set to true [whether you need to add the experiment data to the resource pack process, like with items, has been untested]. A boilerplate representation of the NBT sent for a custom block is as follows:
{
"components": {
"minecraft:entity_collision": {
"enabled": 0b,
"origin": [
-8.0f,
0.0f,
-8.0f
],
"size": [
16.0f,
16.0f,
16.0f
]
},
"minecraft:material_instances": {
"mappings": {},
"materials": {
"*": {
"ambient_occlusion": 1b,
"face_dimming": 1b,
"render_method": "opaque",
"texture": "snow"
}
}
},
"minecraft:unit_cube": {}
}
}
The block runtime ID is determined by the second part of the namespace, in alphabetical order. If the block is named wikivg:aaa
, it will be placed at the beginning of the block runtime states. If the block is named wikivg:zzz
, it will be placed at the end of the palette [most likely - naming a block "snow" caused other block states to shift].
Add Player
Sent by the server to make a player entity show up client-side. It is one of the few entities that cannot be sent using the Add Entity packet.
Packet ID | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0x0C | Client | UUID | UUID | UUID is the UUID of the player. It is the same UUID that the client sent in the Login packet at the start of the session. A player with this UUID must exist in the player list (built up using the Player List packet) for it to show up in-game. |
Username | String | Username is the name of the player. This username is the username that will be set as the initial name tag of the player. | ||
Entity ID Self | SignedVarLong | The unique ID of the player. The unique ID is a value that remains consistent across different sessions of the same world, but most unoffical servers simply fill the runtime ID of the player out for this field. | ||
Runtime Entity ID | VarLong | The runtime ID of the player. The runtime ID is unique for each world session, and entities are generally identified in packets using this runtime ID. | ||
Platform Chat ID | String | An identifier only set for particular platforms when chatting (presumably only for Nintendo Switch). It is otherwise an empty string, and is used to decide which players are able to chat with each other. | ||
Position | Vector3 | The position to spawn the player at. If the player is at a distance that the viewer cannot see, the player will still show up if the viewer moves closer. | ||
Velocity | Vector3 | The initial velocity the player spawns with. This velocity will initiate client side movement of the player. | ||
Rotation | Float | Pitch, yaw and head yaw | ||
Held Item | Item | The item that the player is holding. The item is shown to the viewer as soon as the player itself shows up. Needless to say that this field is rather pointless, as additional packets still must be sent for armour to show up. | ||
Metadata | MetadataDictionary | A map of entity metadata, which includes flags and data properties that alter in particular the way the player looks. Flags include ones such as 'on fire' and 'sprinting'. The metadata values are indexed by their property key. | ||
Flags | VarInt | Flags is a set of flags that specify certain properties of the player, such as whether or not it can fly and/or move through blocks. | ||
Command permission | VarInt | A set of permissions that specify what commands a player is allowed to execute. | ||
Action Permissions | VarInt | Action Permissions is, much like Flags, a set of flags that specify actions that the player is allowed to undertake, such as whether it is allowed to edit blocks, open doors etc. | ||
Permission Level | VarInt | The permission level of the player as it shows up in the player list built up using the PlayerList packet. | ||
Custom stored permissions | VarInt | |||
User Id | Long | A unique identifier of the player. It appears it is not required to fill this field out with a correct value. Simply writing 0 seems to work. | ||

Packet ID | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0x0D | Client | Entity ID Self | SignedVarLong | The unique ID of the entity. The unique ID is a value that remains consistent across different sessions of the same world, but most unofficial servers simply fill the runtime ID of the entity out for this field. |

0x14 | Server & Client | Jump Strength | SignedVarInt | The strength of the jump, depending on how long the rider has held the jump button. |
Update Block
Sent by the server to update a block client-side, without resending the entire chunk that the block is located in. It is particularly useful for small modifications like block breaking/placing.
Packet ID | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0x15 | Client | Coordinates | BlockCoordinates | The block position at which a block is updated. |
Block Runtime ID | VarInt | The runtime ID of the block that is placed at Position after sending the packet to the client. The runtime ID must point to a block sent in the list in the Start Game packet. | ||
Flags | VarInt | See below. Flags is a combination of flags that specify the way the block is updated client-side. It is a combination of the flags below, but typically sending only the Network flag is sufficient. | ||
Layer | VarInt | The world layer on which the block is updated. In Bedrock, multiple blocks can be put in the same location using layers. The second layer is usually used for liquids, so blocks can be inside a liquid. For most blocks, this is the first layer, as that layer is the default layer to place blocks on, but for blocks inside of each other, this differs. As this system is designed with liquids, there may be bugs when using this to place blocks inside each other. For example, placing an interactable block such as an item frame on the second layer can cause a game crash if the player tries to interact with it. |

Show Store Offer
Sent by the server to show a Marketplace store offer to a player. It opens a window client-side that displays the item.
The packet only works on partnered servers: Servers that are not partnered will not have a store button show up on the in-game pause menu and will, as a result, not be able to open store offers on the client side. Sending the packet does therefore not work when using a proxy that is connected to with the domain of one of the partnered servers.

Position Tracking DB Server Broadcast
Sent by the server in response to the Position Tracking DB Client Request packet. Thus packet is, as of 1.16, currently only for lodestones. The server maintains a database with tracking IDS and their position and dimension. The client will request these tracking IDs, (NBT tag set on the lodestone compass with the tracking ID?) and the server will respond with the status of those tracking IDs.
What is actually done with the data sent depends on what the client chooses to do with it. For the lodestone compass, it is used to make the compass point towards lodestones and to make it spin if the lodestone at a position is no longer there.
