[Tutorial] 1.7.x Protocol changes

Hello all,
Since version 1.7 the minecraft protocol has been massively updated (in a good way) .
The packet names have also been changed since there are now 4 types of packets.
The first group:
Handshaking (id = -1);

the second group:
Play (id = 0);

the third group:
Status (id = 1);

the fourth group:
Login (id = 2);

Each of those types is divided in two groups, the Packet<Type>In[packet name] and the Packet<Type>Out[packet name]. Ofcourse the In-packets are the ones that are comming in, and the out-packets are the ones that are being send to the client.

Ofcourse you will have to decompile the craftbukkit.jar with a tool like jd-gui and then you can see yourself what is changed.

Well I assume you came here because you wan't to know how to send packets, Look no longer! Click here!

drtshock Well, didn't knew that was already updated

 

Granted, that's not *every* class :3 But much easier for a lot of things

 

drtshock yep, at the end you only need the packetname + field values.

 

Discussion about unofficial builds removed.

 

The first word I saw was handshaking and I'm like 'Is he sure this is related to Protocol Changes'? Does this person want a handshake or something?

Just broke physics.

 

Btw there is also https://github.com/bukkit/mc-dev but you have to wait some time until it's updated.

xTrollxDudex I made this thread to give info about the new protocol, in no way it's a replacement for your thread <3

 

Info about packet sending too! You could've made it less confusing and include the protocol info in your *friendly throat clear* other protocol changes thread
