RaknetCS is a performance-oriented, modernized C# implementation of the RakNet protocol. Designed for the high demands of game networking (particularly Minecraft Bedrock Edition), it provides a robust, reliable UDP transport layer with advanced packet handling and session management.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Modern Architecture: Built for .NET 9.0+.
• ✅ Reliability Layers: Supports Unreliable, Reliable, and Ordered packet delivery.
• ✅ High Performance: Asynchronous socket operations for minimum latency.
• ✅ Clean API: Intuitive classes for both Listeners (Servers) and Clients.
• ✅ Packet Attribute System: Easy packet registration and dispatching.
• ✅ Fragmentation & Reassembly: Automatically handles large data packets.

🛠️ Getting Started

Installation

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/BedrockSharp/raknet-cs.git
cd raknet-cs
dotnet build

Running the Example Server

To see the project in action and see how it looks in the Minecraft server list:

# From the root directory
dotnet run --project src/RaknetCS.Example

This will start a server on port 19132. Open Minecraft Bedrock, go to the Friends tab, and you should see the "RaknetCS Demo Server" under Local Games.

Server Code Snippet

using System.Net;
using RaknetCS.Network;

var listener = new RaknetListener(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 19132));
listener.Motd = "MCPE;My Awesome Server;..."; // Set your custom MOTD

listener.SessionConnected += (session) => {
    Console.WriteLine($"New session from: {session.PeerEndPoint}");
};

listener.BeginListener();

Client Example (RaknetClient)

using System.Net;
using RaknetCS.Network;

var client = new RaknetClient();
client.SessionEstablished += (session) => {
    Console.WriteLine("Connected to server!");
};

client.BeginConnection(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 19132));

📦 Defining Custom Packets

Use the attribute-based system to register your packets effortlessly:

[RegisterPacketID(0xFE)]
public class MyCustomPacket : Packet {
    public string Message;

    public MyCustomPacket(byte[] buffer) : base(buffer) {}

    protected override void Serialize(RaknetWriter stream) {
        stream.WriteString(Message);
    }

    protected override void Deserialize(RaknetReader stream) {
        Message = stream.ReadString();
    }
}
