yog-network 0.1.0

Networking — custom packets as raw bytes over named channels.

Yog never puts NBT on the wire: a packet payload is just Vec<u8>, so mod authors serialize with whatever is fastest for them (bincode, protobuf, FlatBuffers, plain bytes). NBT is only ever built when something must be handed to the game itself.

For ergonomic typed packets, use the [packet!] macro:

use yog_network::{packet, Packet};

packet! {
    pub struct TeleportPacket {
        x: f64,
        y: f64,
        z: f64,
        player: String,
    }
}

let pkt = TeleportPacket { x: 0.0, y: 64.0, z: 0.0, player: "Steve".into() };
let bytes = pkt.encode();
let decoded = TeleportPacket::decode(&bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(decoded.player, "Steve");
