[1.14.4]Send string from server to client

[ATomo9_CY 0]

i want to send a very big integer array(about 40k in size) or string from the server to the client when the player from that specific client dies.There a method will be called to proccess it.

I believe this has something to do with packets but i dont know very much about it.

I already looked at that but i havent figured it out yet.How do i determine to which client the packet goes?And how do i make the client act when it receives the package?

Pick a player object (an instance of ServerPlayerEntity). Send a message to that player. The networking is done for you.

That's what the packet handler is for.

@SubscribeEvent
    public static void LivingDeathEvent(net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDeathEvent event) throws IOException {
        if((event.getEntity() instanceof ServerPlayerEntity )&&EffectiveSide.get()==LogicalSide.SERVER) {
            Instance.send(PacketDistributor.PLAYER.with(), "aaaaaaa");
        }
    }

 

i have this as of now.Is this enough to get what i need?is it correct?

So you check to see if event.getEntity() is an instance of ServerPlayerEntity, but them fuck off with it and send a message to whatever PacketDistributor.PLAYER.with() returns.

 

Why?

Thats the code example with some changes.with() i thing is supposed to have ServerPlayerEntity inside.

Instance i have no idea what its supposed to be or if i should get it from somewhere.
