Before starting, you should have a development environment set up. If you don't have one already you should read the tutorial [[Setting up your Development Environment]]. Furthermore, we assume that you have a basic understanding of the C# language and Object Oriented Programming. Let's get started!

'''Hint''': If you need to send data for Entities or BlockEntities, it may be more appropriate to use the inbuilt network methods for these. Check out the [http://apidocs.vintagestory.at/api/Vintagestory.API.Server.IServerNetworkAPI.html IServerNetworkAPI] and [http://apidocs.vintagestory.at/api/Vintagestory.API.Client.IClientNetworkAPI.html IClientNetworkAPI] interfaces for more information.

In this example mod we will show you how to send custom data back and forth between the Server and the Client. To do this, we will set up a network channel through which string messages will be sent in a network channel.

We will create a server command that will send out a message to all clients, and if a client receives this, it will send a response back to the server; upon receiving this response, the server will display it along with the responding client's player name.

Let's start by creating a new .cs file for this mod, and adding our imports and the namespace in which we'll wrap all of our classes:
