1.6.4 and earlier protocol data (pre-Netty)

Add protocol for 1.6.4 and earlier versions

This is before the large protocol rework (in http://wiki.vg/Protocol_History#13w41a, using Netty), vastly different overall packet structure:

No length prefix, instead the packet length can only be known after fully parsing it (I hear supporting this will require enhancements to ProtoDef). No separate namespace for client/server packet types either, or states.

Supporting 1.6.4 will be a large effort, but once complete, supporting earlier versions should be relatively easier (including possibly all the way back to 1.0.0).

https://github.com/mhsjlw/minecraft-classic-protocol/blob/master/data/protocol.json might be interesting (it corresponds to http://wiki.vg/Classic_Protocol), it's even before 1.0.0, I don't remember what's the version number for it. Characteristics for classic are : toClient and toServer are there but no states. Not length prefixed, partial packet support is required.

protodef can now handle partial packets again ! I tested this with mc classic and it works That means supporting 1.6 is now possible.

https://github.com/PrismarineJS/minecraft-data/pull/443 was a try at this

notes for 1.5

This should be wiki.vg for Release 1.5 https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Protocol&oldid=1094 This is the last revision on the Wiki before it was updated for 1.6. This should be the data types page that goes aloing with that version as well https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Data_types&oldid=4204

Additionally MCP for 1.5.2 still works so you can easily look thru the source to get all the block and item information for the version.
