Pre-release protocol
Revision as of 02:36, 19 April 2012 by Barneygale (talk | contribs) (12w16a changes: two new packets)
This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.2.5) to the current pre-release (or weekly release).
Contents
New packets
Tab-complete (0xCB)
Two-way
Sent C->S when the user presses [tab] while writing text. The payload contains all text behind the cursor.
The server responds with an auto-completion of the last word sent to it. In the case of regular chat, this is a player username. Command names and parameters are also supported.
In the event of more than one possible completion, the server responds with the options packed into the single string field, separated by a null character. Note that as strings are UTF-16, this is two bytes wide.
| Packet ID | Field Name | Field Type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0xCB | Text | string | ||
| Total Size: | 3 bytes + length of string | |||
Locale and View Distance (0xCC)
Client to server
Sent when the player connects, or when settings are changed.
| Packet ID | Field Name | Field Type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0xCC | Locale | string | en_GB | |
| View distance | int | 0 | 0-3 for 'far', 'normal', 'short', 'tiny'. | |
| Total Size: | 7 bytes + length of string | |||
