# Deepslate Protocol

Minecraft protocol primitives for the Deepslate proxy.

This crate provides zero-copy packet encoding/decoding, VarInt utilities, and type definitions for the Minecraft Java Edition protocol. It is intentionally I/O-free and async-free, operating only on byte slices and buffers.

## Modules

| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| `codec` | Packet framing codec (length-prefixed frames, compression) |
| `packet` | Packet type definitions for each protocol state |
| `types` | Protocol data types (chat, identifiers, NBT wrappers, etc.) |
| `varint` | VarInt and VarLong encoding/decoding |
| `version` | Minecraft version constants |

## Protocol States

The `State` enum represents the five phases of a Minecraft connection:

- `Handshake` — initial packet that determines whether the client wants status or login
- `Status` — server list ping
- `Login` — authentication and encryption
- `Config` — configuration phase (1.20.2+)
- `Play` — gameplay packets

## Usage

This crate is used internally by the `deepslate` proxy crate. It can also be used independently if you need to work with the Minecraft protocol at a low level without any async runtime or I/O dependencies.

```toml
[dependencies]
deepslate-protocol = "0.3"
```
