Respawn

Play 0x52, server → client.

play · 0x52 · clientbound (server → client)

Moves the player to a new dimension or respawns them after death. The server sends it after ClientCommand respawn or on dimension change, with a worldState similar to the one in Login. copyMetadata flags tell the client whether to keep attributes and entity metadata. The client resets its world and waits for chunks and a SynchronizePlayerPosition.

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