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.

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.
