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:
 
 
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
 
distance = max(min(resizeSpeed * 1000 * warningTime, abs(targetDiameter - currentDiameter)), warningDistance);
 
if (playerDistance < distance) {
 
    warning = 1.0 - playerDistance / distance;
 
} else {
 
    warning = 0.0;
 
}

{{Need Info|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...  ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/e5at6i/a_discussion_for_the_changes_to_how_biomes_are/ /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 {{Minecraft Wiki|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|Update Block Entity]] later).

|}
 
 
 
Note that the Notchian client requires an [[#Update View Position|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.

==== 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 <code>3.2E7D</code> 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)|Window Confirmation (clientbound)]] packet with the Accepted field set to false. When this happens, the client must send this packet to apologize (as with movement), otherwise the server ignores any successive confirmations.

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

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 item), then holding mouse button (left, right or middle) and dragging held 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):
 
 
 
# packet with mode 5, slot -999, button (0 for left | 4 for right);
 
# packet for every slot painted on, mode is still 5, button (1 | 5);
 
# 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.
 
 
 
The server will send back a [[#Window Confirmation (clientbound)|Window Confirmation]] packet. If the click was not accepted, the client must send a matching [[#Window Confirmation (serverbound)|serverbound window confirmation]] packet before sending more [[#Click Window|Click Window]] packets, otherwise the server will reject them silently. The Notchian server also sends a [[#Window Items|Window Items]] packet for the open window and [[#Set Slot|Set Slot]] packets for the clicked and cursor slot, but only when the click was not accepted, probably to resynchronize client and server.
 
 
 
==== Pong ====
 
 
 
A response to the ping packet. Unknown what this is used for, this is ignored by the Notchian client and server.

Revision as of 22:32, 7 August 2021

This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.17.1, protocol 756) to the current pre-release (currently 1.18 experimental snapshot 2, protocol Snapshot 42). 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.
