This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.13.1, protocol 401) to the current pre-release (currently 1.13.2-pre2, protocol 403). 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.

Data types

No changes so far.

Slot

Name Type Meaning
Present Boolean True if the item is present; false if it is empty.
Item ID Short Optional VarInt The item ID. A value of -1 signifies that the slot is empty, and no further data follows. Not present if present is false. Item IDs are distinct from block IDs; see Data Generators for more information
Item Count Optional Byte Not present if Item ID is -1 present is false.
NBT Optional NBT Not present if Item ID is -1 present is false. If 0, there is no NBT data, and no further data follows. Otherwise the byte is the start of an NBT blob as shown below:
  COMPOUND ''
    LIST 'StoredEnchantments'
      COMPOUND
        SHORT 'id'
        SHORT 'lvl'
      END
      COMPOUND
        ...
      END
      ...
    END
    INT 'Unbreakable'
    ...
  END

See NBT for more information about the NBT format, and here for the contained information and its format. Note that tool durability is included in NBT, among other things.

Handshaking

Clientbound

There are no clientbound packets in the Handshaking state, since the protocol immediately switches to a different state after the client sends the first packet.

Serverbound

Handshake

This causes the server to switch into the target state.
