Ping

Configuration 0x05, server → client.

config · 0x05 · clientbound (server → client)

Ping in the configuration state with an arbitrary id. The client answers with Pong carrying the same id. It is used for ordering and latency checks, not for keep-alive.

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

Fields

Send it

await client.sendPacket("Ping", {
  id: 42,
});

The client answers with Pong carrying the same signed 32-bit id. Use it for an ordering or latency probe, not as a replacement for KeepAlive.

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