NettyHelpers - v0.1.0

Features

Variable-length encoding

As variable-length encoding is used in the Bedrock protocol, it only makes sense to implement it here. Four new network types have been defined for this feature:

• VarInt
• VarLong
• UVarInt
• UVarLong

While these types can be used to encode/decode, there are new extension methods designed to read/write primitives only using Netty's ByteBuf. These new extension methods are:

• ByteBuf.readVarInt(): Int
• ByteBuf.writeVarInt(value: Int): ByteBuf
• ByteBuf.readVarLong(): VarLong
• ByteBuf.writeVarLong(value: Long): ByteBuf
• ByteBuf.readUVarInt(): UInt
• ByteBuf.writeUVarInt(value: UInt): ByteBuf
• ByteBuf.readUVarLong(): ULong
• ByteBuf.writeUVarLong(value: ULong): ByteBuf

Any issues with the encoding/decoding of these types can and should be reported here.

NettyHelpers - v0.0.2

This is the first release of the NettyHelpers library. Any issues or suggestions with the library can be made here!
