ServerBroadcaster

Static helpers for sending network packets to all online players or a filtered subset.

What is it for?

• Broadcasting packets to all online players.
• Radius, exclusion, and predicate-based filtering.
• Snapshotting the player list before the loop so disconnects mid-broadcast do not crash enumeration.

Quick example

using ArcanumLib.Network;

// Broadcast to all
ServerBroadcaster.BroadcastPacket(sapi, channel, packet);

// Within 64 blocks of a position
ServerBroadcaster.BroadcastPacketInRange(sapi, channel, packet, x, y, z, 64);

// Exclude a specific player
ServerBroadcaster.BroadcastPacketExcept(sapi, channel, packet, new[] { excludedUid });

Notes

• BroadcastPacket snapshots sapi.World.AllOnlinePlayers into a List<IPlayer> before sending.
• Only IServerPlayer instances receive packets; the loop casts and skips non-server players.
