I am getting an error in my encode method for my packetpipeline. http://pastebin.com/JFWYPs9J

 

SS of error: http://prntscr.com/5ymt7g

 

 

Fuck.

 

Click the thing that says "cast to..."

 

This is why your IDE exists.

Dude

 

It means that Mojang has changed their code.

 

The method to construct a packet now looks like this

    public FMLProxyPacket(PacketBuffer payload, String channel)
    {
        this.channel = channel;
        this.payload = payload;
    }

so you need to figure out how to turn a PacketBuffer into a ByteBuf...

 

This looks promising...

public class PacketBuffer extends ByteBuf
{
    private final ByteBuf buf;
    private static final String __OBFID = "CL_00001251";

    public PacketBuffer(ByteBuf wrapped)
    {
        this.buf = wrapped;
    }

 

If you're converting network code from 1.7 to 1.8 you might find this link on thread safety for packets helpful too
