Wireshark dissector using minecraft-data protocol

Would be cool if the protocol specs from minecraft-data could be used to generate a dissector for the Wireshark network analyzer: https://www.wireshark.org

There were some previous efforts, but none complete/merged/for PC:

• https://github.com/brandon15811/MinecraftPE-Dissector - pocket edition protocol, different than PC
• https://github.com/maniak89/WiresharkMinecraft - updated year ago, not many (any?) packets, (C++?)
• https://github.com/ScottBrooks/minecraft-dissector - updated 6 years ago (2011), seemed to work at the time, would need to be updated to add new data
• https://github.com/deathcap/wireshark/commits/mc - my incomplete attempt at updating the above dissector for Wireshark 1.99
• https://github.com/AlanDeSmet/minecraft-dissector - another update, 5 years ago

First step would be a C wrapper for minecraft-data. Or actually it could alternatively be written in Lua, as https://github.com/brandon15811/MinecraftPE-Dissector demonstrates. After there is a C or Lua wrapper, next step wiring it up to Wireshark, then getting it merged into the mainline Wireshark project if possible.

This of course would be a separate repository (c-minecraft-data? lua-minecraft-data? wireshark-minecraft-data) but saving this issue here since there isn't one yet (and I'd like to but probably can't work on it anytime soon), in case anyone else wants to pick up these efforts.

Start with the minecraft-data wrapper guide and Wireshark's dissector development guide, then compare the listed previous dissector efforts. The proposed work begins with a C or Lua wrapper, followed by Wireshark integration and possible upstreaming; done would require a complete PC protocol dissector, but the repository and exact implementation scope are not defined.
