Protocol

This page presents a dissection of the current stable Minecraft protocol. The current pre-release protocol is documented elsewhere. The protocol for Pocket Minecraft is substantially different, and is documented at Pocket Minecraft Protocol.

If you're having trouble, check out the FAQ or ask for help in the IRC channel (#mcdevs on irc.freenode.net).

Term	Definition
Player	When used in the singular, Player always refers to the client connected to the server
Entity	Entity refers to any item, player, mob, minecart or boat in the world. This definition is subject to change as Notch extends the protocol
EID	An EID - or Entity ID - is a unique 4-byte integer used to identify a specific entity
XYZ	In this document, the axis names are the same as those used by Notch. Y points upwards, X points South, and Z points West.

Packets

All packets begin with a single "Packet ID" byte. Listed packet size includes this byte. Packets are either "server to client", "client to server", or "Two-Way" (both). Packets are not prefixed with their length. For variable length packets, you must parse it completely to determine its length.

Protocol Version

1.7.2 - 4

Packet format

Field Name	Field Type	Notes
Length	VarInt	Includes the type's length
Type	VarInt
Data

Handshaking

Serverbound

Handshake

This causes the server to switch into the target state.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x00	Protocol Version	VarInt
	Server Address (hostname or IP)	String	localhost
	Server Port	Unsigned Short	25565
	Next state	VarInt	1 for status, 2 for login

Play

Clientbound

Keep Alive

The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x00	Keep Alive ID	Int

Join Game

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x01	Entity ID	Int	The player's Entity ID
	Gamemode	Unsigned Byte	0: survival, 1: creative, 2: adventure. Bit 3 (0x8) is the hardcore flag
	Dimension	Byte	-1: nether, 0: overworld, 1: end
	Difficulty	Unsigned Byte	0 thru 3 for Peaceful, Easy, Normal, Hard
	Max Players	Unsigned Byte	Used by the client to draw the player list
	Level Type	String	default, flat, largeBiomes, amplified, default_1_1

If the Dimension isn't valid then the client will crash

Chat Message

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x02	JSON Data	String	https://gist.github.com/thinkofdeath/e882ce057ed83bac0a1c , Limited to 32767 bytes

Malformed JSON will disconnect the client

Time Update

Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.

The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.

The default SMP server increments the time by 20 every second.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x03	Age of the world	Long	In ticks; not changed by server commands
	Time of day	Long	The world (or region) time, in ticks. If negative the sun will stop moving at the Math.abs of the time

Entity Equipment

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x04	EntityID	Int	Entity's ID
	Slot	Short	Equipment slot: 0=held, 1-4=armor slot (1 - boots, 2 - leggings, 3 - chestplate, 4 - helmet)
	Item	Slot	Item in slot format

Spawn Position

Sent by the server after login to specify the coordinates of the spawn point (the point at which players spawn at, and which the compass points to). It can be sent at any time to update the point compasses point at.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x05	X	Int	Spawn X in block coordinates
	Y	Int	Spawn Y in block coordinates
	Z	Int	in block coordinates

Update Health

Sent by the server to update/set the health of the player it is sent to.

Food saturation acts as a food "overcharge". Food values will not decrease while the saturation is over zero. Players logging in automatically get a saturation of 5.0. Eating food increases the saturation as well as the food bar.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x06	Health	Float	0 or less = dead, 20 = full HP
	Food	Short	0 - 20
	Food Saturation	Float	Seems to vary from 0.0 to 5.0 in integer increments

Respawn

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.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x07	Dimension	Int	-1: The Nether, 0: The Overworld, 1: The End
	Difficulty	Unsigned Byte	0 thru 3 for Peaceful, Easy, Normal, Hard.
	Gamemode	Unsigned Byte	0: survival, 1: creative, 2: adventure. The hardcore flag is not included
	Level Type	String	Same as Join Game

If the Dimension isn't valid then the client will crash

Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in, weird bugs can occur i.e. such player will be unable to attack other players in new world (fixes after their death and respawn)

Player Position And Look

Updates the players position on the server. 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 units will result in the client being 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 backwards towards (-1, 0), or in other words, it turns clockwise instead of counterclockwise. 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.

You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:

 x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)
 y = -sin(pitch)
 z =  cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x08	X	Double	Absolute position
	Y	Double	Absolute position
	Z	Double	Absolute position
	Yaw	Float	Absolute rotation on the X Axis, in degrees
	Pitch	Float	Absolute rotation on the Y Axis, in degrees
	On Ground	Bool	True if the client is on the ground, False otherwise

Spawn Player

This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, not when a player joins.

Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x0C	Entity ID	VarInt	Player's Entity ID
	Player UUID	String	Player's UUID
	Player Name	String	Player's Name

	Metadata	Metadata	The client will crash if no metadata is sent

The client will crash if no metadata is sent

Collect Item

Sent by the server when someone picks up an item lying on the ground - its sole purpose appears to be the animation of the item flying towards you. It doesn't destroy the entity in the client memory, and it doesn't add it to your inventory. The server only checks for items to be picked up after each Player Position and [Player Position & Look packet sent by the client.

Serverbound

Keep Alive

The server will frequently send out a keep-alive, each containing a random ID. The client must respond with the same packet.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x00	Keep Alive ID	Int

Chat Message

The default server will check the message to see if it begins with a '/'. If it doesn't, the username of the sender is prepended and sent to all other clients (including the original sender). If it does, the server assumes it to be a command and attempts to process it. A message longer than 100 characters will cause the server to kick the client. This change was initially done by allowing the client to not slice the message up to 119 (the previous limit), without changes to the server. For this reason, the vanilla server kept the code to cut messages at 119, but this isn't a protocol limitation and can be ignored.

For more information, see Chat.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x01	Message	String

Use Entity

This packet is sent from the client to the server when the client attacks or right-clicks another entity (a player, minecart, etc).

A Notchian server only accepts this packet if the entity being attacked/used is visible without obstruction and within a 4-unit radius of the player's position.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x02	Target	Int
	Mouse	Byte

Player

This packet is used to indicate whether the player is on ground (walking/swimming), or airborne (jumping/falling).

When dropping from sufficient height, fall damage is applied when this state goes from False to True. The amount of damage applied is based on the point where it last changed from True to False. Note that there are several movement related packets containing this state.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x03	On Ground	Bool	True if the client is on the ground, False otherwise

Player Position

Updates the players XYZ position on the server. If Stance - Y is less than 0.1 or greater than 1.65, the stance is illegal and the client will be kicked with the message “Illegal Stance”. 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 units will result in the client being 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"

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x04	X	Double	Absolute position
	Y	Double	Absolute position
	Stance	Double	Used to modify the players bounding box when going up stairs, crouching, etc…
	Z	Double	Absolute position
	On Ground	Bool	True if the client is on the ground, False otherwise

Player Look

The unit circle for yaw

Updates the direction the player is looking in.

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 backwards towards (-1, 0), or in other words, it turns clockwise instead of counterclockwise. 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.

You can get a unit vector from a given yaw/pitch via:

 x = -cos(pitch) * sin(yaw)
 y = -sin(pitch)
 z =  cos(pitch) * cos(yaw)

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x05	Yaw	Float	Absolute rotation on the X Axis, in degrees
	Pitch	Float	Absolute rotation on the Y Axis, in degrees
	On Ground	Bool	True if the client is on the ground, False otherwise

Player Position And Look

A combination of Player Look and Player position.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x06	X	Double	Absolute position
	Y	Double	Absolute position
	Stance	Double	Used to modify the players bounding box when going up stairs, crouching, etc…
	Z	Double	Absolute position
	Yaw	Float	Absolute rotation on the X Axis, in degrees
	Pitch	Float	Absolute rotation on the Y Axis, in degrees
	On Ground	Bool	True if the client is on the ground, False otherwise

Player Digging

Sent when the player mines a block. A Notchian server only accepts digging packets with coordinates within a 6-unit radius of the player's position.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x07	Status	Byte	The action the player is taking against the block (see below)
	X	Int	Block position
	Y	Byte	Block position
	Z	Int	Block position
	Face	Byte	The face being hit (see below)

Status can (currently) be one of six values:

Meaning	Value
Started digging	0
Cancelled digging	1
Finished digging	2
Drop item stack	3
Drop item	4
Shoot arrow / finish eating	5

Notchian clients send a 0 (started digging) when they start digging and a 2 (finished digging) once they think they are finished. If digging is aborted, the client simply send a 1 (Cancel digging).

Status code 4 (drop item) is a special case. In-game, when you use the Drop Item command (keypress 'q'), a dig packet with a status of 4, and all other values set to 0, is sent from client to server. Status code 3 is similar, but drops the entire stack.

Status code 5 (shoot arrow / finish eating) is also a special case. The x, y and z fields are all set to 0 like above, with the exception of the face field, which is set to 255.

The face can be one of six values, representing the face being hit:

Value	0	1	2	3	4	5
Offset	-Y	+Y	-Z	+Z	-X	+X

In 1.7.3, when a player opens a door with left click the server receives Packet 0xE+start digging and opens the door.

Player Block Placement

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x08	X	Int	Block position
	Y	Unsigned Byte	Block position
	Z	Int	Block position
	Direction	Byte	The offset to use for block/item placement (see below)
	Held item	Slot
	Cursor position X	Byte	The position of the crosshair on the block
	Cursor position Y	Byte
	Cursor position Z	Byte

In normal operation (ie placing a block), this packet is sent once, with the values set normally.

This packet has a special case where X, Y, Z, and Direction are all -1. (Note that Y is unsigned so set to 255.) This special packet indicates that the currently held item for the player should have its state updated such as eating food, shooting bows, using buckets, etc.

In a Notchian Beta client, the block or item ID corresponds to whatever the client is currently holding, and the client sends one of these packets any time a right-click is issued on a surface, so no assumptions can be made about the safety of the ID. However, with the implementation of server-side inventory, a Notchian server seems to ignore the item ID, instead operating on server-side inventory information and holding selection. The client has been observed (1.2.5 and 1.3.2) to send both real item IDs and -1 in a single session.

Special note on using buckets: When using buckets, the Notchian client might send two packets: first a normal and then a special case. The first normal packet is sent when you're looking at a block (e.g. the water you want to scoop up). This normal packet does not appear to do anything with a Notchian server. The second, special case packet appears to perform the action - based on current position/orientation and with a distance check - it appears that buckets can only be used within a radius of 6 units.

Close Window

This packet is sent by the client when closing a window.

Note, notchian clients send a close window message with window id 0 to close their inventory even though there is never an Open Window message for inventory.

Packet ID	Field Name	Field Type	Notes
0x0D	Window id	byte	This is the id of the window that was closed. 0 for inventory.

Click Window

This packet is sent by the player when it clicks on a slot in a window.

When right-clicking on a stack of items, half the stack will be picked up and half left in the slot. If the stack is an odd number, the half left in the slot will be smaller of the amounts.

The Action number is actually a counter, starting at 1. This number is used by the server as a transaction ID to send back a Transaction packet.

The distinct type of click performed by the client is determined by the combination of the "Mode" and "Button" fields.

Mode	Button	Slot	Trigger
0	0	Normal	Left mouse click
	1	Normal	Right mouse click
1	0	Normal	Shift + left mouse click
	1	Normal	Shift + right mouse click (Identical behavior)

	5	Normal	Add slot for right-mouse drag
	2	-999	Ending left mouse drag
	6	-999	Ending right mouse drag
6	0	Normal	Double click

Starting from version 1.5, "painting mode" is available for use in inventory windows. It is done by picking up stack of something (more than 1 items), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging holded stack over empty (or same type in case of right button ) slots. In that case client sends the following to server after mouse button release (omitting first pickup packet which is sent as usual):

1. packet with mode 5, slot -999 , button (0 for left | 4 for right);
2. packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);
3. packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (2 | 6);

If any of the painting packets other than the "progress" ones are sent out of order (for example, a start, some slots, then another start; or a left-click in the middle) the painting status will be reset.
