Game Event

Play 0x26, server → client.

play · 0x26 · clientbound (server → client)

Sends a world or player game state change identified by event with a float value. Events include start or stop raining, change game mode, win game, rain and thunder level, enable respawn screen, limited crafting, and ‘start waiting for level chunks’. The client updates its state; the server sends ‘start waiting for level chunks’ right after Login, and the client waits for chunks before spawning.

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