Describe your problem

I'd like to control the client using WebSocketBot. Currently EntityType and ItemType are sent as numeric IDs, but the client of the socket, MCC.js for example, needs to know the names (AcaciaBoat as opposed to 0). The mappings between names and IDs are currently hardcoded into MCC.js but this is bad for compatibility across MCC versions.

Suggest a possible solution

WebSocketBot could provide an API to get the list of names for every ItemType and EntityType.

Alternatively, ItemType, EntityType, and possibly other enums, could be simply sent as strings containing the name of the value instead of the numeric value itself, which actually makes them way easier to work with. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2441290/javascriptserializer-json-serialization-of-enum-as-string.

This is one of the things I have on my todo, when I catch some free time, I could add it to be sent as a string and received as a string.
