IPacketContext

interface IPacketContext

Provides contextual information available when handling a received network packet.

Implementations are created by NetworkChannel when dispatching received payloads to their registered handlers. Both server-bound and client-bound handlers receive an instance of this interface, giving them access to the receiving player, the registry, and (on the client side) the Minecraft instance.

Properties

minecraft

open val minecraft: Minecraft

The client-side Minecraft instance.

Only safe to access from client-bound packet handlers. Calling this from a server-bound handler will throw an IllegalStateException because the dedicated server has no Minecraft instance.

player

abstract val player: Player

The player associated with the packet. On the server this is the sending net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer; on the client this is the local player.

registryAccess

abstract val registryAccess: RegistryAccess

The RegistryAccess for the current connection, providing access to dynamic registries.
