Plugin PacketEvents API

PacketEvents API

PacketEvents API is a powerful networking library for Minecraft Java Edition servers and plugins. Built on Netty, it gives developers a consistent way to listen to, read, send, simulate, and modify packets traveling between clients and the server.

Its packet wrappers, event listeners, cross platform abstractions, and protocol support simplify advanced features such as custom interfaces, visual effects, compatibility tools, and precise gameplay control. It supports platforms including Paper, Spigot, Velocity, BungeeCord, Fabric, and Sponge, with versions from 1.8 onward. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for creators seeking deeper control over a Minecraft server’s network layer.
