This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.12.2, protocol 340) to the current pre-release (currently 17w45b, protocol 344). 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.

Plugin Channels

MC|StopSound

Server to client

Used to implement the /stopsound command. Stops a sound that is currently playing on the client.

Field name Field type Notes
Sound category String Should be one of the sound categories used in Named Sound Effect, but if it's invalid or empty then it is (intentionally) treated as all sound categories.
Sound name String A sound effect name. If left empty, all sounds are stopped.

Emptiness of sound category or sound name can be combined, IE a empty sound name but a set sound category will stop all sounds in the given category.

This plugin channel has been replaced by the stop sound packet.

Clientbound

Declare Commands

Currently has no payload, but will serialize a Brigadier RootCommandNode instance.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x10 Play Client no fields

Handshaking

Serverbound

This causes the server to switch into the target state.
