This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.12.2, protocol 340) to the current pre-release (currently 18w01a, protocol 352). 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.

Global palette

A table/dictionary/palette mapping nonnegative integers to block states. The block state IDs can be constructed from this table by multiplying what the Minecraft Wiki calls “block IDs” by 16 and adding the metadata/damage value (or in most programming languages block_id << 4 | metadata). Block state IDs are created in a linear fashion based off of order of assignment. One block state ID allocated for each unique block state for a block; if a block has multiple properties then the number of allocated states is the product of the number of values for each property. A current list of properties and state ID ranges is found on burger.

New/modified data types

Slot

Name Type Meaning
Block ID Item ID Short The item/block ID. A value of -1 signifies that the slot is empty, and no further data follows. Item IDs are now uniquely defined and are completely independent of block IDs.
Item Count Optional Byte Not present if Block ID is -1.
Item Damage Optional Short Not present if Block ID is -1.
NBT Optional NBT Not present if Block ID is -1. 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:

Block Actions

No changes so far.

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This plugin channel has been replaced by the stop sound packet.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

Block Change

Fired whenever a block is changed within the render distance.

Warning.png Changing a block in a chunk that is not loaded is not a stable action. The Notchian client currently uses a shared empty chunk which is modified for all block changes in unloaded chunks; while in 1.9 this chunk never renders in older versions the changed block will appear in all copies of the empty chunk. Servers should avoid sending block changes in unloaded chunks and clients should ignore such packets.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x0B Play Client Location Position Block Coordinates
Block ID VarInt The new block state ID for the block as given in the global palette. (When reading data: type = id >> 4, meta = id & 15, when writing data: id = type << 4 | (meta & 15)) See that section for more information.


Statistics

Sent as a response to Client Status (id 1).

Multi Block Change

Fired whenever 2 or more blocks are changed within the same chunk on the same tick.

Warning.png Changing blocks in chunks not loaded by the client is unsafe (see note on Block Change).

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x10 0x0F Play Client Chunk X Int Chunk X coordinate
Chunk Z Int Chunk Z coordinate
Record Count VarInt Number of elements in the following array, i.e. the number of blocks affected
Record Horizontal Position Array Unsigned Byte The 4 most significant bits (0xF0) encode the X coordinate, relative to the chunk. The 4 least significant bits (0x0F) encode the Z coordinate, relative to the chunk.
Y Coordinate Unsigned Byte Y coordinate of the block
Block ID VarInt The new block state ID for the block as given in the global palette. (When reading data: type = id >> 4, meta = id & 15, when writing data: id = type << 4 | (meta & 15)) See that section for more information.

To decode the position into a world position:

worldX = (horizPos >> 4 & 15) + (chunkX * 16);
worldY = vertPos;
worldZ = (horizPos & 15) + (chunkZ * 16);


Tab-Complete (clientbound)

Huh.png The following information needs to be added to this page:
This is most definitely no longer an accurate description of this packet

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 sorts these alphabetically before listing them.

Chunk Data

Main article: Chunk Format
See also: #Unload Chunk

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).

Indexes into the global palette are still used, but since the global palette has changed, behavior is different.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes

Type of data varies based off of the particle. For "iconcrack", it is a Slot. For "blockcrack", "blockdust", and "fallingdust", it is a block state encoded as a VarInt that is an index within the global palette.
