Getting player's settings

I read a resource (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tuturial-get-player-render-distance-language-and-more.260436/) about getting a player's setting.
Is there any way to do this without ProtocolLib (Maybe with NMS?)?

 

• String locale in EntityPlayer#locale (Spigot confirmed, couldn't confirm with CB because Cloudies refused to properly redirect)
• Clientside renderdistance doesn't seem to be saved (again, not confirmed with CB)
• EnumChatVisibility from EntityPlayer#getChatFlags()
• boolean bW in EntityPlayer apparently is for chat colours
• The difficulty doesn't seem to be saved (probably only if the 'server' is a single player world)
• boolean for the cape is in the DataWatcher, index 16, Byte value

fireblast709 The thing I need is the Difficulty so it could be nice if I could send that packet somehow to the player.

 

Bammerbom It is more that you would receive the packet. And getting that setting would require intercepting it (like ProtocolLib does, but you don't want that )

 

fireblast709 Is there any way to do this?

 

Bammerbom not any easy way that I can think of. I would seriously recommend ProtocolLib, even though you specified you didn't want to use it.
