MCProtocol

MCProtocol is a library that implements the Minecraft protocol from scratch(PC version, multiplayer protocol).

This library is packet-based which means it's incredibly easy to extend yourself.

I wrote this as a challenge for myself incase I got bored. Feel free to fork since I will probably discontinue this project sometime in the near future.

Current Features

Fetch MOTD
Login to servers
Send packets/chat
Easy to extend

Roadmap/Backlog

Tidy up source code and improve code quality
Add JavaDoc to everything
Better, more efficient packet management
Better use of the log
Unit testing
Support for SMP Map format/MP worlds
Player actions such as walking, jumping etc...
Player stuff like inventory management
Support for other entities(such as pigs, xp orbs, etc...)
Optional JavaFX GUI wrapper
Plugin/extension support(custom, allows 3rd party protocol/packet implementations to extend and improve the current implementation)
Better and more generic event management throughout the protocol.

Credit/Attribution

Major thanks to wiki.vg for their protocol specification wiki. Without them I would not be able to create this.

I also want to credit:

DarkStorm: I got his encryption util class and check his older minecraft bot out for ideas.
Stevecce10: Also wrote an implementation of the protocol, helped me when I could not quite understand the wiki.vg description.

Other code credit is given in the source files themselves.
