Old Diameter | Double | Current length of a single side of the world border, in meters. | |||
New Diameter | Double | Target length of a single side of the world border, in meters. | |||
Speed | VarLong | Number of real-time milliseconds 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. | |||
Portal Teleport Boundary | VarInt | Resulting coordinates from a portal teleport are limited to ±value. Usually 29999984. | |||
Warning Blocks | VarInt | In meters. | |||
Warning Time | VarInt | In seconds as set by /worldborder warning time .
|
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:
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);
if (playerDistance < distance) {
warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;
} else {
warning = 0.0;
}
Chunk Data
- Main article: Chunk Format
- See also: #Unload Chunk
The following information needs to be added to this page: | |
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... (/r/mojira discussion which notes that it seems to be some kind of interpolation, and 3D biomes are only used in the nether) |
The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the 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 later).
Packet ID | State | Bound To | Field Name | Field Type | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Play | Client | Chunk X | Int | Chunk coordinate (block coordinate divided by 16, rounded down) | |
Chunk Z | Int | Chunk coordinate (block coordinate divided by 16, rounded down) | |||
Full chunk | Boolean | See Chunk Format | |||
Primary Bit Mask | VarInt | Bitmask with bits set to 1 for every 16×16×16 chunk section whose data is included in Data. The least significant bit represents the chunk section at the bottom of the chunk column (from y=0 to y=15). | |||
Bit Mask Length | VarInt | Length of the following array | |||
Primary Bit Mask | Array of Long | BitSet with bits (world height in blocks / 16) set to 1 for every 16×16×16 chunk section whose data is included in Data. The least significant bit represents the chunk section at the bottom of the chunk column (from the lowest y to 15 blocks above). | |||
Heightmaps | NBT | Compound containing one long array named MOTION_BLOCKING , 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 WORLD_SURFACE long array, the purpose of which is unknown, but it's not required for the chunk to be accepted.
| |||
Biomes length | Size of the following array; should always be 1024. | ||||
Biomes | 1024 biome IDs, ordered by x then z then y, in 4×4×4 blocks. | ||||
Size | VarInt | Size of Data in bytes | |||
Data | Byte array | See data structure in Chunk Format | |||
Number of block entities | VarInt | Number of elements in the following array | |||
Block entities | Array of NBT Tag | All block entities in the chunk. Use the x, y, and z tags in the NBT to determine their positions. |
Note that the Notchian client requires an 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.
The compacted array format has been adjusted so that individual entries no longer span across multiple longs, affecting the main data array and heightmaps.
New format, 5 bits per block, containing the following references to blocks in a palette (not shown): 122344566480743131516914101202

Entity Movement
This packet may be used to initialize an entity.
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.

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

Window Confirmation (serverbound)
If a confirmation sent by the client was not accepted, the server will reply with a Window Confirmation (clientbound) packet with the Accepted field set to false.
