Networking

Communication between servers and clients is the backbone of a successful mod implementation.

Read an overview of why networking matters and the basic strategies in thinking about networking.

There are a variety of techniques provided by Forge to facilitate communication - mostly built on top of netty.

The simplest, for a new mod, would be SimpleImpl, where most of the complexity of the netty system is abstracted away. It uses a message and handler style system.

Built with MkDocs using a custom theme. Hosted by Read the Docs.
