Method Details

registerGlobalReceiver

public static boolean registerGlobalReceiver(Identifier channelName,
 ServerPlayNetworking.PlayChannelHandler channelHandler)

Registers a handler to a channel. A global receiver is registered to all connections, in the present and future.

If a handler is already registered to the channel, this method will return false, and no change will be made. Use unregisterReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler, Identifier) to unregister the existing handler.

Parameters:

channelName - the id of the channel

channelHandler - the handler

Returns:

false if a handler is already registered to the channel

See Also:

• unregisterGlobalReceiver(Identifier)
• registerReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler, Identifier, PlayChannelHandler)

unregisterGlobalReceiver

@Nullable
public static @Nullable ServerPlayNetworking.PlayChannelHandler unregisterGlobalReceiver(Identifier channelName)

Removes the handler of a channel. A global receiver is registered to all connections, in the present and future.

The channel is guaranteed not to have a handler after this call.

Parameters:

channelName - the id of the channel

Returns:

the previous handler, or null if no handler was bound to the channel

See Also:

• registerGlobalReceiver(Identifier, PlayChannelHandler)
• unregisterReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler, Identifier)

getGlobalReceivers

public static Set<Identifier> getGlobalReceivers()

Gets all channel names which global receivers are registered for. A global receiver is registered to all connections, in the present and future.

Returns:

all channel names which global receivers are registered for.

registerReceiver

public static boolean registerReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler networkHandler,
 Identifier channelName,
 ServerPlayNetworking.PlayChannelHandler channelHandler)

Registers a handler to a channel. This method differs from registerGlobalReceiver(Identifier, PlayChannelHandler) since the channel handler will only be applied to the player represented by the ServerPlayNetworkHandler.

For example, if you only register a receiver using this method when a ServerLoginNetworking.registerGlobalReceiver(Identifier, ServerLoginNetworking.LoginQueryResponseHandler) login response has been received, you should use ServerPlayConnectionEvents.INIT to register the channel handler.

If a handler is already registered to the channelName, this method will return false, and no change will be made. Use unregisterReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler, Identifier) to unregister the existing handler.

Parameters:

networkHandler - the handler

channelName - the id of the channel

channelHandler - the handler

Returns:

false if a handler is already registered to the channel name

See Also:

• ServerPlayConnectionEvents.INIT

unregisterReceiver

@Nullable
public static @Nullable ServerPlayNetworking.PlayChannelHandler unregisterReceiver(ServerPlayNetworkHandler networkHandler,
 Identifier channelName)

Removes the handler of a channel.

The channelName is guaranteed not to have a handler after this call.

Parameters:

channelName - the id of the channel

Returns:

the previous handler, or null if no handler was bound to the channel name

getReceived

public static Set<Identifier> getReceived(ServerPlayerEntity player)

Gets all the channel names that the server can receive packets on.

Parameters:

player - the player

Returns:

All the channel names that the server can receive packets on

getSendable

public static Set<Identifier> getSendable(ServerPlayerEntity player)

Gets all channel names that the connected client declared the ability to receive a packets on.

Parameters:

player - the player

Returns:

All the channel names the connected client declared the ability to receive a packets on

getSendable

public static Set<Identifier> getSendable(ServerPlayNetworkHandler handler)

Gets all channel names that a connected client declared the ability to receive a packets on.

Parameters:
