Setup

This guide explains how to set up the Minecraft Networking API in your project.

Prerequisites

• Minecraft Version: 1.20.5 or later.
• Dependencies:
  • Guava (for ByteArrayDataInput and ByteArrayDataOutput).
  • SLF4J (for logging).
  • For Fabric: Fabric API.
• Environment: Paper server, Fabric client, or mixed setup.

Adding the API as a Dependency

The API is hosted on JitPack. Add it to your project as follows:

Maven

1. Add the JitPack repository to your pom.xml:

   <repositories>
       <repository>
           <id>jitpack.io</id>
           <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
       </repository>
   </repositories>

2. Add the API dependency:

   <dependencies>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>com.github.RazorPlay01</groupId>
           <artifactId>PacketHandler</artifactId>
           <version>1.1.0</version>
       </dependency>
   </dependencies>

Gradle

1. Add the JitPack repository to your build.gradle:

   repositories {
       maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
   }

2. Add the API dependency:

   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.github.RazorPlay01:PacketHandler:1.1.0'
   }

Fabric-Specific Configuration

To ensure the API is included in the compiled Fabric mod, add the include directive in your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    modImplementation 'net.fabricmc:fabric-api:0.92.0+1.20.5'
    implementation 'com.github.RazorPlay01:PacketHandler:1.1.0'
    include 'com.github.RazorPlay01:PacketHandler:1.1.0'
}

Manual Installation

Alternatively, clone the API repository and include the packet_handler package in your project:

git clone https://github.com/RazorPlay01/PacketHandler.git

Copy the com.github.razorplay.packet_handler package into your project’s source directory.
