This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.12.2, protocol 340) to the current pre-release (currently 18w07a, protocol 358). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.
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.

Global palette
A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. The block state IDs can be constructed from this table by multiplying what the Minecraft Wiki calls “block IDs” by 16 and adding the metadata/damage value (or in most programming languages block_id << 4 | metadata). 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 burger.

Entity Metadata Format
Note that entity metadata is a totally distinct concept from block metadata. It is not required to send all metadata fields, or even any metadata fields, so long as the terminating entry is correctly sent.
Entity Metadata is an array of entries, each of which looks like the following:
Name | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Index | Unsigned Byte | Unique index key determining the meaning of the following value, see the table below. If this is 0xff then the it is the end of the Entity Metadata array and no more is read.
|
Type | Optional Byte Enum | Only if Index is not 0xff ; the type of the index, see the table below
|
Value | Optional value of Type | Only if Index is not 0xff : the value of the metadata field
|

---|---|---|
0 | Byte | |

Direction (VarInt) | (Down = 0, Up = 1, North = 2, South = 3, West = 4, East = 5) | |
OptUUID (Boolean + Optional UUID) | UUID is present if the Boolean is set to true | |
OptBlockID (VarInt) | 0 for absent, otherwise index into the global palette. (Air is treated as absent) | |

Plugin Channels
MC|StopSound
Server to client
Used to implement the
/stopsound
command. Stops a sound that is currently playing on the client.
Field name | Field type | Notes |
---|---|---|
Sound category | String | Should be one of the sound categories used in Named Sound Effect, but if it's invalid or empty then it is (intentionally) treated as all sound categories. |
Sound name | String | A sound effect name. If left empty, all sounds are stopped. |
Emptiness of sound category or sound name can be combined, IE a empty sound name but a set sound category will stop all sounds in the given category.
This plugin channel has been replaced by the stop sound packet.

Calculating the center of an image: given a (width × height) grid of cells, with (0, 0)

. E.g. (1, 0)
for a 2×1 painting, or (1, 2)

Block Change
Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.
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.

Fired whenever 2 or more blocks are changed within the same chunk on the same tick.
Changing blocks in chunks not loaded by the client is unsafe (see note on Block Change).

Chunk Data
- Main article: Chunk Format
- See also: #Unload Chunk
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the 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 later).
Indexes into the global palette are still used, but since the global palette has changed, behavior is different.
