64-bit value split in to three parts
 
 
 
* x: 26 MSBs
 
* z: 26 {{change|LSBs|middle bits}}
 
* y: 12 {{change|bits between them|LSBs}}
 
 
 
Encoded as followed:
 
 
 
((x & 0x3FFFFFF) << 38) | {{change|((y & 0xFFF) << 26) {{!}} (z & 0x3FFFFFF)|((z & 0x3FFFFFF) << 12) {{!}} (y & 0xFFF)}}
 
 
 
And decoded as:
 
 
 
val = read_unsigned_long();
 
x = val >> 38;
 
y = {{change|(val >> 26) & 0xFFF|val & 0xFFF}};
 
z = {{change|val << 38 >> 38|(val << 26 >> 38)}};
 
 
 
Note: The details of bit shifting are rather language dependent; the above may work in Java but probably won't in other languages without some tweaking. In particular, you will usually receive positive numbers even if the actual coordinates are negative. This can be fixed by adding something like the following:
 
 
 
if x >= 2^25 { x -= 2^26 }
 
if y >= 2^11 { y -= 2^12 }
 
if z >= 2^25 { z -= 2^26 }

=== 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:
 
 
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Name
 
! Type
 
! Meaning
 
|-
 
| Index
 
| Unsigned Byte
 
| Unique index key determining the meaning of the following value, see the table below. If this is <code>0xff</code> then the it is the end of the Entity Metadata array and no more is read.
 
|-
 
| Type
 
| Optional VarInt Enum
 
| Only if Index is not <code>0xff</code>; the type of the index, see the table below
 
|-
 
| Value
 
| Optional ''value of Type''
 
| Only if Index is not <code>0xff</code>: the value of the metadata field
 
|}
 
 
 
{| class="wikitable"

==== Spawn Player ====
  
=== Trader Llama ===
+
This packet is sent by the server when a player comes into visible range, ''not'' when a player joins.
  
Extends [[#Llama|Llama]].
+
This packet must be sent after the [[#Player Info|Player Info]] packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.
  
No additional metadata.
+
Servers can, however, safely spawn player entities for players not in visible range. The client appears to handle it correctly.

In offline mode, [[Wikipedia:Universally unique identifier#Versions 3 and 5 (namespace name-based)|UUID v3]] is used with the String <code>OfflinePlayer:&lt;player name&gt;</code>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive).
  
No additional metadata.

For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:

In an example UUID, <code>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</code>, the UUID version is specified by <code>Y</code>. So, for UUID v3, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>3</code>, and for UUID v2, <code>Y</code> will always be <code>2</code>.

The server only sends skylight information for chunk pillars in the {{Minecraft Wiki|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|Update Block Entity]] later).

=== Serverbound ===
  
The Cursor Position X/Y/Z fields (also known as in-block coordinates) are calculated using raytracing. The unit corresponds to sixteen pixel in the default resource pack. For example, let's say a slab is being placed against the south face of a full block. The Cursor Position X will be higher if the player was pointing near the right (east) edge of the face, lower if pointing near the left. The Cursor Position Y will be used to determine whether it will appear as a bottom slab (values 0.0–0.5) or as a top slab (values 0.5-1.0). The Cursor Position Z should be 1.0 since the player was looking at the southernmost part of the block.

{{Change||Inside block is true when a player's head (specifically eyes) are inside of a block's collision.  In 1.13 and later versions, collision is rather complicated and individual blocks can have multiple collision boxes.  For instance, a ring of vines has a non-colliding hole in the middle.  This value is only true when the player is directly in the box.  In practice, though, this value is only used by scaffolding to place in front of the player when sneaking inside of it (other blocks will place behind when you intersect with them -- try with glass for instance).}}

Revision as of 17:13, 14 November 2019

This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.14.4, protocol 498) to the current pre-release (currently 19w46b, protocol 564). 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.

Spawn Player

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

This packet must be sent after the Player Info packet that adds the player data for the client to use when spawning a player. If the Player Info for the player spawned by this packet is not present when this packet arrives, Notchian clients will not spawn the player entity. The Player Info packet includes skin/cape data.

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

Metadata Entity Metadata

When in online mode, the UUIDs must be valid and have valid skin blobs.

In offline mode, UUID v3 is used with the String OfflinePlayer:<player name>, encoded in UTF-8 (and case-sensitive).

For NPCs UUID v2 should be used. Note:

<+Grum> i will never confirm this as a feature you know that :)

In an example UUID, xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Yxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, the UUID version is specified by Y. So, for UUID v3, Y will always be 3, and for UUID v2, Y will always be 2.

Update Block Entity

Sets the block entity associated with the block at the given location.

NBT Data NBT Tag Data to set. May be a TAG_END (0), in which case the block entity at the given location is removed (though this is not required since the client will remove the block entity automatically on chunk unload or block removal)

Action field:

  • 1: Set data of a mob spawner (everything except for SpawnPotentials: current delay, min/max delay, mob to be spawned, spawn count, spawn range, etc.)
  • 2: Set command block text (command and last execution status)
  • 3: Set the level, primary, and secondary powers of a beacon
  • 4: Set rotation and skin of mob head
  • 5: Declare a conduit
  • 6: Set base color and patterns on a banner

Chunk Data

Main article: Chunk Format
See also: #Unload Chunk
Huh.png 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...

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).

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x21 0x22 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).
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 Optional array of Integer 1024 biome IDs, ordered by x then z then d, in 4×4×4 blocks. Not present if full chunk is false.
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.

To get the biome at a coordinate, use biomes[((y >> 2) & 63) << 4 | ((z >> 2) & 3) << 2 | ((x >> 2) & 3)]

Unknown Boolean Added

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 State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x3A 0x3B Play Client Dimension Int Enum -1: The Nether, 0: The Overworld, 1: The End

Warning.png Avoid changing player's dimension to same dimension they were already in unless they are dead. If you change the dimension to one they are already in, weird bugs can occur, such as the player being unable to attack other players in new world (until they die and respawn).

If you must respawn a player in the same dimension without killing them, send two respawn packets, one to a different world and then another to the world you want. You do not need to complete the first respawn; it only matters that you send two packets.

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.

Server Address String Hostname or IP, e.g. localhost or 127.0.0.1, that was used to connect. The Notchian server does not use this information. Note that SRV records are a complete redirect, e.g. if _minecraft._tcp.example.com points to mc.example.org, users connecting to example.com will provide mc.example.org as server address in addition to connecting to it.
