Since release 1.6, all minecarts are spawned with object type 10 and their functionality is then specified in the Data field within the packet. Also, their visual appearance may be sent via the Entity Metadata packet.


Mobs

Mobs are spawned via Spawn Mob. There are two extra mob types in the code that refer to mobs classes that can never spawn: Mob and Monster (they are always subclasses, aka another more specific type).

There is only one action: 1, which updates the number of players who are looking in the shulker box.

The server responds with a list of auto-completions 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. The client lists these in the order that they are in the array. The client sorts these alphabetically before listing them.

“Hide” makes the title disappear, but if you run times again the same title will appear. “Reset” erases the text.

The title is visible on screen for Fade In + Stay + Fade Out ticks.

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 And Look) packet sent by the client.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x48 Play Client Collected Entity ID VarInt
Collector Entity ID VarInt
Pickup Item Count VarInt Seems to be 1 for XP orbs, otherwise the number of items in the stack.

Serverbound

Chat Message (serverbound)

Used to send a chat message to the server. The message may not be longer than 100 256 characters or else the server will kick the client.

If the message starts with a /, the server will attempt to interpret it as a command. Otherwise, the server will broadcast the same chat message to all players on the server (including the player that sent the message), prepended with player's name. Specifically, it will respond with a translate chat component, "chat.type.text" with the first parameter set to the display name of the player (including some chat component logic to support clicking the name to send a PM) and the second parameter set to the message.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x02 Play Server Message String The client sends the raw input, not a Chat component

Player Block Placement

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x1C Play Server Location Position Block position
Face VarInt Enum The face on which the block is placed (as documented at Player Digging)
