Contributing to ProtocolLib

## Updating ProtocolLib to a New Protocol Version
|
|
#### Before we get started:
|
|
1. **When do we need to update the protocol version?**
|
|
_A Minecraft protocol version is a number for each specification of the Minecraft protocol.
|
|
This means it is incremented when there is a change to the [Protocol Specification](http://wiki.vg/Protocol),
|
|
but not necessarily for each Minecraft version update. If the latest Minecraft version contains a protocol change,
|
|
that means ProtocolLib needs to be updated._
|
|
2. **When do we need to update other parts of ProtocolLib?**
|
|
_When the package version guard changes. The package version guard is the version string inserted
|
|
into the package identifier for CraftBukkit and net.minecraft.server (e.g. v1_9_R2). It is incremented
|
|
by Spigot if there is a major breaking change in the internal server code. This is to encourage plugins
|
|
that interact directly with CraftBukkit/nms code to update more specifically. However, since most of
|
|
ProtocolLib uses reflection, and the structure of packet classes is generally static, one will have
|
|
to go through the code and change imports from nms/CraftBukkit._
|
|
|
|
#### Ready? Let's get started!
|
|
1. Read the [Protocol Changes](http://wiki.vg/Protocol_History). Always make sure the list is both
|
|
complete and correct. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to ask in #mcdevs (the people who maintain wiki.vg) on [libera.chat](http://libera.chat)
|
|
or #spigot on [irc.spi.gt](http://irc.spi.gt) ([webchat](https://irc.spi.gt/iris/?channels=spigot)).
|
|
2. Search for usages of the now-defunct NMS package guard and change them.
|
|
3. The class `com.comphenix.protocol.PacketType` contains a list of all the packets. If any packets were added or removed
|
|
(or had their ID changed), make sure to update this list. If a packet was removed
|
|
in favor of usage of another packet, instead of removing it, move it to the bottom of the list
|
|
in its section, add a deprecation warning to it, and redirect it to the packet that replaced it.
|
|
4. `mvn` in the root directory to build the project.
|
|
5. If tests fail in the maven build, go through the tests to make sure you removed references to any removed packets
|
|
and changed the NMS version guards.
|
|
6. Increment the package version in `com.comphenix.protocol.utility.Constants`.
|
|
7. `com.comphenix.protocol.ProtocolLibrary` contains several constants that must be updated, including the Minecraft version
|
|
and the release date.
|
|
8. `com.comphenix.protocol.utility.MinecraftProtocolVersion` contains a map of all the protocol version integers.
|
|
If the protocol version has been incremented, add a new line to the map.
|
|
9. `mvn` in root directory again. If it builds successfully, test on the appropriate version of a Spigot server. If
|
|
the build fails, debug!
