Trait Behavior 

pub trait Behavior {
    // Required method
    fn tick(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<'_>);

    // Provided methods
    fn name(&self) -> &str { ... }
    fn interests(&self) -> Interests { ... }
    fn raw_packets(&self, version: GameVersion) -> Cow<'static, [i32]> { ... }
    fn start(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<'_>) { ... }
    fn running(&self) -> bool { ... }
    fn after_tick(&mut self, view: &TickView<'_>) { ... }
    fn stop(&mut self, reason: &str) { ... }
}

A bot behaviour: the code that decides what the player does each tick.

Behaviours never see packets or versions: they read a TickContext and call its actions. A panic in a behaviour stops that behaviour (its Behavior::stop is called with "panic") but not the connection: the player keeps standing and answering the server.

Required Methods

fn tick(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<'_>)

Called every tick while the player is in the world and the server is answering.

Provided Methods

fn name(&self) -> &str

Name for logs.

fn interests(&self) -> Interests

Optional packet groups this behaviour needs. Read every tick; a change updates the packet filter. Everything not asked for is dropped before it is decoded.

fn raw_packets(&self, version: GameVersion) -> Cow<'static, [i32]>

Extra clientbound play packet ids (of version) to copy undecoded into TickEvents::raw, including packets the core consumes itself (the core’s handling does not change). Read every tick like Behavior::interests; a change updates the packet filter. Decoding is the behaviour’s job (ghast::protocol::v1_8::play::clientbound / v1_16_5).

fn start(&mut self, ctx: &mut TickContext<'_>)

Called on the first tick the player is in the world, before that tick’s Behavior::tick (both see the same events).

fn running(&self) -> bool

Whether the behaviour still wants ticks. Once it returns false the behaviour is done: it is not ticked again (the player keeps standing and answering the server) and Behavior::stop still runs when the session ends. Read after every start / tick.

fn after_tick(&mut self, view: &TickView<'_>)

Called after every tick’s movement step (also while the behaviour is on hold or has finished), with a read-only view of what the server now has: the pose sent this tick, the world, entities and inventory. For observers (a viewer, a recorder); it cannot act. Default: nothing.

fn stop(&mut self, reason: &str)

Called once when the session ends (or the behaviour panicked).

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
