1.20.6 introduced three new EntityDataSerializer types compared to 1.20.4:
- PARTICLES (id 18) - list of particles, inserted after PARTICLE
- WOLF_VARIANT (id 23) - wolf variant holder, inserted after CAT_VARIANT
- ARMADILLO_STATE (id 28) - armadillo state, inserted after SNIFFER_STATE
These insertions shifted subsequent serializer IDs, causing the 1.19.4
palette (EntityMetadataPalette1194) to misidentify metadata types on
1.20.6+ servers. This could lead to incorrect byte consumption and
potential packet parse failures when entities with affected metadata
types (e.g. wolves, armadillos, area effect clouds with particles)
were present.
Changes:
- Add Particles, WolfVariant, ArmadilloState to EntityMetaDataType enum
- Create EntityMetadataPalette1206 with correct 31-entry ID mapping
- Route 1.20.6+ to the new palette in EntityMetadataPalette.GetPalette()
- Add read logic for the three new types in DataTypes.cs
Verified on 1.21.1 vanilla server: cat, wolf, frog, armadillo, painting
entities all spawn without metadata parse errors.
