Interface PacketChannel

All Superinterfaces:
Channel, PacketDispatcher, PacketRegistry, TransactionalPacketDispatcher, TransactionalPacketRegistry
public interface PacketChannel extends Channel, TransactionalPacketRegistry, TransactionalPacketDispatcher
Represents an advanced channel binding that sends and receives packets. An advantage over using a BasicPacketChannel is that it also supports request/response packets and the configuration phase.

However this channel is NOT compatible with the forge opcode based packet channels. If you want to remain compatible, use BasicPacketChannel instead.

The channel registration of this channel is also synced between the client and server during both the handshake and play phases. Because of this, PacketDispatcher.isSupportedBy(EngineConnection) may be called to check whether a connection the packet channel supports.
