Method Detail

varIntByteCount

public static int varIntByteCount(int toCount)

The number of bytes to write the supplied int using the 7 bit varint encoding.

Parameters:

toCount - The number to analyse

Returns:

The number of bytes it will take to write it (maximum of 5)

readVarInt

public static int readVarInt(ByteBuf buf,
                             int maxSize)

Read a varint from the supplied buffer.

Parameters:

buf - The buffer to read from

maxSize - The maximum length of bytes to read

Returns:

The integer

readVarShort

public static int readVarShort(ByteBuf buf)

An extended length short. Used by custom payload packets to extend size.

Parameters:

buf -

Returns:

writeVarShort

public static void writeVarShort(ByteBuf buf,
                                 int toWrite)

writeVarInt

public static void writeVarInt(ByteBuf to,
                               int toWrite,
                               int maxSize)

Write an integer to the buffer using variable length encoding. The maxSize constrains how many bytes (and therefore the maximum number) that will be written.

Parameters:

to - The buffer to write to

toWrite - The integer to write

maxSize - The maximum number of bytes to use

readUTF8String

public static java.lang.String readUTF8String(ByteBuf from)

Read a UTF8 string from the byte buffer. It is encoded as []

Parameters:

from - The buffer to read from

Returns:

The string

writeUTF8String

public static void writeUTF8String(ByteBuf to,
                                   java.lang.String string)

Write a String with UTF8 byte encoding to the buffer. It is encoded as []

Parameters:

to - the buffer to write to

string - The string to write

writeItemStack

public static void writeItemStack(ByteBuf to,
                                  ItemStack stack)

Write an ItemStack using minecraft compatible encoding.

Parameters:

to - The buffer to write to

stack - The itemstack to write

readItemStack

public static ItemStack readItemStack(ByteBuf from)

Read an ItemStack from the byte buffer provided. It uses the minecraft encoding.

Parameters:

from - The buffer to read from

Returns:

The itemstack read

writeTag

public static void writeTag(ByteBuf to,
                            NBTTagCompound tag)

Write an NBTTagCompound to the byte buffer. It uses the minecraft encoding.

Parameters:

to - The buffer to write to

tag - The tag to write

readTag

public static NBTTagCompound readTag(ByteBuf from)

Read an NBTTagCompound from the byte buffer. It uses the minecraft encoding.

Parameters:

from - The buffer to read from

Returns:

The read tag

writeRegistryEntry

public static <T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T>> void writeRegistryEntry(ByteBuf out,
                                                                         T entry)

Write a registry entry to the stream. The serialized format is not specified and must not be relied upon. Do not use this to write to a file, it is used for client-server communication only.

Parameters:

out - the buffer to write to

entry - the registry entry

readRegistryEntry

public static <T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T>> T readRegistryEntry(ByteBuf in,
                                                                     IForgeRegistry<T> registry)

Read a registry entry from the stream. The same format as in writeRegistryEntry(ByteBuf, IForgeRegistryEntry) is used.

Parameters:

in - the buffer to read from

registry - the registry the entry belongs to

Returns:

the read registry entry

writeRegistryEntries

public static <T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T>> void writeRegistryEntries(ByteBuf out,
                                                                           java.util.Collection<T> entries)

Write multiple registry entries from the same registry to the stream. The serialized format may be more compact than using writeRegistryEntry(ByteBuf, IForgeRegistryEntry) multiple times.

Parameters:

out - the buffer to write to

entries - the entries to write

readRegistryEntries

public static <T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T>> java.util.List<T> readRegistryEntries(ByteBuf in,
                                                                                       IForgeRegistry<T> registry)

Read multiple registry entries from the same registries from the stream. The list of entries must have been written by writeRegistryEntries(ByteBuf, Collection).

Parameters:

in - the buffer to read from

registry - the registry the entries belong to

Returns:

the immutable list of entries

getContentDump

public static java.lang.String getContentDump(ByteBuf buffer)
