`play` · `0x60` · **clientbound** (server → client)

Sets the item stack held by the mouse cursor in an open container. The server sends it when the cursor item changes out of sync with the client, for example after a rejected click.

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