Interface InfraredPacket

All Known Implementing Classes:

EntityInfraredPacket

public interface InfraredPacket

Represents an infrared packet carrying a single value.

Use the InfraredReceiver interface to interact with these.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d	getPacketDirection() Get the normalized direction the packet is currently heading.
net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d	getPacketPosition() Get the current position of the packet.
short	getPacketValue() Get the value carried by this packet.
void	redirectPacket(net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d position, net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d direction, int addedLifetime) Instead of consuming the packet, this can be used to redirect the packet into a new direction.

Method Detail

getPacketValue

short getPacketValue()

Get the value carried by this packet.

Returns:

the value carried by the packet.

getPacketPosition

net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d getPacketPosition()

Get the current position of the packet.

Returns:

the current position of the packet.

getPacketDirection

net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d getPacketDirection()

Get the normalized direction the packet is currently heading.

Returns:

the current heading of the packet.

redirectPacket

void redirectPacket(net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d position,
                    net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d direction,
                    int addedLifetime)

Instead of consuming the packet, this can be used to redirect the packet into a new direction. Use this to implement relays like mirrors if you like. You can also use this to increase (or decrease) a packet's lifetime.

When changing the direction of a packet, you may want to set the new position to the hit position (passed to InfraredReceiver.onInfraredPacket(InfraredPacket, RayTraceResult)). Any changes to the position will be taken into account automatically, so that packets do not travel further due to this than they otherwise would. Note that you cannot move a packet further than it would travel in one tick anyway (4 blocks).

Parameters:

position - the new current position of the packet.

direction - the new direction the packet should be heading.

addedLifetime - how many ticks to add to the packet's lifetime.
