BasicPacketChannel (SpongeAPI 8.2.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Channel, PacketRegistry, TransactionalPacketRegistry
```
public interface BasicPacketChannel
extends Channel, TransactionalPacketRegistry
```
Represents a basic channel binding that sends and receives packets. Each packet type is assigned to an opcode. This channel is compatible with the forge opcode based packet channels, unlike PacketChannel.
There are a few limitations with using this channel. Request/response packets may only be used during the handshake phase using handshake(). Normal packets may only be send during the play phase.
