I've been trying to look up something on packet handling, but all of it seems outdated and has big messages saying "DO NOT USE THIS IN NEW CODE!!!"

I was wondering if any of you could give me some up-to-date info on this, as what I've found is very confusing. How does one use this packet system? What can't be done without packets? Must one use this? How does one create a basic/advanced packet hanlder?

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

How does one use this packet system? - Above.

 

What can't be done without packets? - Anything that requires you to exhange data between client and server (not talking about stuff that is alredy handled by MC, like block updates and stuff), mostly when you press Key or Button and want server to do stuff with it (Keys and Buttons are only client so you have to send packet to server). Same goes for almost anything that is not generic minecraft - custom Entity Properties, special attributes, shared data, anything.

 

Must one use this? - Yes if you want anything above basic "How to make block or Item"

 

How does one create a basic/advanced packet hanlder? - Look 1st.

    • Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
    • sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.
