Class PayloadCodecs

java.lang.Object

net.ixdarklord.coolcatcore.api.network.PayloadCodecs

public final class PayloadCodecs
extends Object

Stream codecs found by type, so a record payload needs no hand-written StreamCodec: each record component is encoded in declaration order with the codec of its declared type.

Out of the box: primitives and their boxes, String, UUID, ResourceLocation, BlockPos, ChunkPos, GlobalPos, Vec3, Vector3f(c), Quaternionf(c), Component, ItemStack (may be empty), CompoundTag, Tag, BlockState, Item, Block, EntityType, OptionalInt, byte[], long[], plus, built from their parts: enums (by ordinal), records, arrays, Optional, List/Collection, Set, Map, Either and ResourceKey.

Any other type must be registered before a payload using it is registered; registering such a payload throws otherwise. Components may not be null: use Optional.

Method Details

register

public static <V> void register(Class<V> type,
 net.minecraft.network.codec.StreamCodec<? super net.minecraft.network.RegistryFriendlyByteBuf,V> codec)

Makes type usable in record payloads. A type can only be registered once.

registerFactory

public static void registerFactory(Class<?> rawType,
 PayloadCodecs.Factory factory)

Makes a generic type usable in record payloads, e.g. a container whose codec depends on its type arguments. The factory receives the type arguments as declared (e.g. [String, Integer] for Pair<String, Integer>) and resolves the codecs it needs through the PayloadCodecs.Lookup.

forRecord

public static <R extends Record>
net.minecraft.network.codec.StreamCodec<net.minecraft.network.RegistryFriendlyByteBuf,R> forRecord(Class<R> recordClass)

The codec of a record, derived from its components.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a component's type (at any depth) has no codec

get

public static net.minecraft.network.codec.StreamCodec<net.minecraft.network.RegistryFriendlyByteBuf,?> get(Type type)

The codec of any supported type, such as String.class or a ParameterizedType from reflection.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the type, or a type it's built from, has no codec

has

public static boolean has(Type type)

Whether get(java.lang.reflect.Type) would find a codec for the type.
