title: Code Of Conduct
description: "Configuration 0x13, server → client."
---

`config` · `0x13` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Shows the server's code of conduct text (`contents`) to the player during configuration. The client presents an accept/decline screen; accepting sends `AcceptCodeOfConduct`, declining disconnects. The server waits for the acceptance before continuing.

Sent by the server, read by the client. Listen for it with `client.on("CodeOfConduct", (data) => …)` on the receiving side.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `contents` | String |  |

## Send it

```ts
await client.sendPacket("CodeOfConduct", {
  contents: "Be respectful. No griefing or harassment.",
});
```

The client shows `contents` in an accept-or-decline screen. Continue configuration only after receiving `AcceptCodeOfConduct`; a client that declines disconnects instead.

Field aliases listed under Notes are accepted as alternative keys when writing.
