title: Player Rotation
description: "Play 0x49, server → client."
---

`play` · `0x49` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Sets the player's yaw and pitch without changing position. The server sends it for rotation-only teleports such as `/tp` with only rotation arguments. `relativeYaw` and `relativePitch` make the values offsets from the current rotation.

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

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `yaw` | Float |  |

## Send it

```ts
await client.sendPacket("PlayerRotation", {
  yaw: /* Float */,
  relativeYaw: /* Boolean */,
  pitch: /* Float */,
  relativePitch: /* Boolean */,
});
```

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