# Packet 113: PasswordProvided

> Submits the requested NUL-terminated server password.

- **Decimal ID:** 113
- **Hex ID:** 0x71
- **Direction:** Inactive
- **Family:** Authentication
- **Status:** Planned
- **Evidence:** Provisional
- **Wire size:** Variable: 2 + password bytes

## Exact wire layout

The application packet ID is the first byte. The remaining rows are in decode order. Byte sizes exclude ENet headers, wrapper prefixes, LZF chunk framing, and compression effects.

| # | Field | Encoding | Bytes | Purpose | Condition |
| ---: | --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| 0 | `packet_id` | u8 | 1 | Always 113 (0x71). | — |
| 1 | `password` | NUL-terminated UTF-8 string | N + 1 | password value. | — |

## Encoding conventions

- `LE` means least-significant byte first.
- `fixed16` is two-byte sign-magnitude at 1/64 precision.
- `orientation16` uses the measured 1/8192 orientation mapping.
- NUL strings consume their encoded byte length plus one `00` terminator.
- Counted arrays repeat immediately in the documented order.
