==== Chunk Batch Finished ====
+
Contains a list of key-value text entries that are included in any crash or disconnection report generated during connection to the server.
 
 
{{Need Info|Why does the formula uses <code>25</code> instead of the normal tick duration of <code>50</code>?}}
 
 
 
Marks the end of a chunk batch. The Notchian client marks the time it receives this packet and calculates the ellapsed duration since the [[#Chunk Batch Start|beggining of the chunk batch]]. The server uses this duration and the batch size received in this packet to estimate the number of milliseconds ellapsed per chunk received. This value is then used to calculate the desired number of chunks per tick through the formula <code>25 / millisPerChunk</code>, which is reported to the server through [[#Chunk Batch Received|Chunk Batch Received]].
 
 
 
The Notchian client uses the samples from the latest 15 batches to estimate the milliseconds per chunk number.

{{Need Info|Although the number of portal cooldown ticks is included in this packet, the whole portal usage process is still dictated entirely by the server. What kind of effect does this value have on the client, if any?}}
+
This packet contains a list of links that the Notchian client will display in the menu available from the pause menu. Link labels can be built-in or custom (i.e., any text).
  
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.

{{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).
 
 
 
Before 1.16, 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.}}

==== Chunk Batch Received ====
 
 
 
Notifies the server that the chunk batch has been received by the client. The server uses the value sent in this packet to adjust the number of chunks to be sent in a batch.
 
 
 
The Notchian server will stop sending further chunk data until the client acknowledges the sent chunk batch. After the first acknowledgement, the server adjusts this number to allow up to 10 unacknowledged batches.

==== Keep Alive (configuration) ====
 
 
 
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 (configuration) 2|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.
 
 
 
The Notchian server uses a system-dependent time in milliseconds to generate the keep alive ID value.

{{Main|Plugin channels}}
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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/]
 
 
 
Note that the length of Data is known only from the packet length, since the packet has no length field of any kind.

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.
