            is_visible: true,
            color: 254

update

same as init, but only changes

type: update
data: ...

remove_players

since update just sends the updates, and a non-existing player would not be part od the update, we need to remove them explicitly

type: remove_players
data: 
    - uid1
    - uid2
       ...

remove_creatures

type: remove_creatures
data:
    - uid42
