Networking

Networking API for client mods.

UniversalProtect offers the networking API for client mods such as Watson or ShadowTrace. Enable it with networking.enabled: true.

Channels

Channel	Direction	Content
coreprotect:handshake	Client → Server	Mod version, mod id, protocol
coreprotect:data	Server → Client	Result packets (types 1 to 4)

Requirements

• The player needs universalprotect.networking (or coreprotect.networking).
• The client mod must complete the handshake. Afterwards every lookup sends up to 200 results as packets.

Packet types

Type	Content
1	Block and container changes
2	Item changes
3	Chat, commands and signs
4	Sessions and username changes

Note: The selector values FIRST and SECOND in type 1 and 2 packets are implemented on a best-effort basis. If a mod classifies entries incorrectly, please report it.
