`play` · `0x2E` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Plays a world effect identified by `effectId` at `location`, such as a door opening sound, a block breaking sound and particles, a record playing, or a portal spawn effect. `data` carries an effect-specific parameter and `global` makes the effect play regardless of distance. The client plays the sound or particles.

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