Hi PocketMine community!

A few things have happened on the background since the last announcement, so I though that having a status update for all these news would be great

So, starting with the first one! Following the announcement of PocketMine-MP being selected as a Sourceforge Project of the Week, we have been nominated to be project of the month on Sourceforge! You can vote us there, commenting "VOTE: pocketmine".

Second one! The 1st PocketMine-MP Plugin Contest ended a few days ago, and we are still selecting the winners of each category. The results will be announced the following week, if everything goes right. We expected more submissions, but you will have another opportunity in a few months

And now about the Alpha_1.4 release. I've been really busy coding it, and infinite world support is done. Just today I...

Before starting to rewrite even more parts of the code, we are releasing the last version of the Alpha_1.3.x Amai Beetroot「甘いビートルート」. Next one will be Alpha_1.4 with more rewrite!
We have included the new Event API that will be used on the next release, but now it is only used to hook on packets.

API Changelog:

• Full network rewrite. Plugins can work with packets easily now.
• New Event API, only implemented for packets right now.
• Added player.block.place.bypass and player.block.break.bypass
• Level included in data for event item.drop
• Added Utils::getUniqueID()
• Added default support in PHP binaries for MySQLi
• Removed Spyc
• Call Plugin::__destruct() on PluginAPI::__destruct()
• Added more OS detection on Utils::getOS()

Changelog:

• New set-up wizard in multiple languages. Help translate it to more languages on http://translate.pocketmine.net/
• Updated pthreads and PHP binaries
• New font for...

Today we have two announcements!

First, we have compiled PHP binaries for iOS, and included them on the installer. Add this repository to Cydia:
Search and install PocketMine-MP for iOS.
Run /var/mobile/Media/PocketMine-MP/start.sh to start the server

Second, PocketMine-MP for Android has been released on the Play Store. This app was released in collaboration with @MrARM. You can install it on your Android device directly.

Hi everyone!

PocketMine-MP is now 1 year old! (and a few days more). More than a year has passed since we released the first PocketMine-MP version, the Alpha_1.0. To celebrate this, we were going to open a contest before holidays, but due to several delays we couldn't do it then.

So, from today until February 23th, the first PocketMine-MP Plugin Contest is open. What to do? Develop plugins. You have plenty of time, so create a good plugin.
Please read the rules below. Once the submissions are closed, we will review them and publish the results later.

Happy coding!

PD: If you have any question about the rules, or if something can be done with PHP (of course!), you can ask on the IRC over #pocketmine.

Participation Rules

• Anyone registered on the PocketMine Forums can participate, except me (@shoghicp ) and the...

After the External IP feature was added in MCPE, several services were created that make having your own MCPE server easier. Almost all of them use PocketMine-MP, so we decided to give them the opportunity of being featured on the PocketMine homepage.
We think that doing this will help the server community grow.

If you run a server hosting site, or you have an interesting service using PocketMine-MP, you are eligible to be featured. Send an e-mail at [email protected] with the following information:

• The service website
• A description of the services
• Why you think it should be featured
• A logo for the homepage, max. 160x20 px (20px height enforced)
• A short description for the homepage, max. 180 characters

If your request is approved, we will get back at you to ask a few more questions and confirm it. After everything has been confirmed, we request you to do a donation to PocketMine (there is no minimum or maximum).
The image will be...

And here it comes the stable release for MCPE v0.8.1 alpha. We decided to remove the improved networking that was delaying this release, but you should see it in the next one. Minecarts couldn't be added for the same reason as mobs, but we will try to implement "fake" minecarts that behave correctly inside rails, but not outside of them.

Starting with this release, all PocketMine-MP versions will be given a codename. This one received the codename 「甘いビートルート」(Amai Beetroot).

You can view the changelog at Github

In the future, besides the normal PocketMine-MP version, we will identify each stable release with a codename, including future versions. Help us decide the two components of the codename choosing your favourite one in this poll.

- And the results are here -
1. Minecraft blocks and items, 90 votes, 36% of the total
2. Japanese names, 40 votes, 16% of the total

We will name future releases with those two themes in mind.

We have selected the new moderators that will help to make the forums a better place

Global Moderators: @eggster, @iamadpond
Plugin Reviewers: @Humerus, @Antisober552
Plugin Development Mod: @Falk
PocketMine-MP Help Mod: @Darunia18
PocketMine-MP Tools Mod: @MinecraftAddict
Server Submission Mods: @99leonchang, @ZacHack

All these members were selected after closing the submissions, and each member of the PocketMine Team voted. Other members were also voted but haven't been selected. That list will be kept safe in case of future open positions.

Other people asking to get a position will be kicked.

We have updated the forum and plugin repository to the new version available. The forum only contains bugfixes, but the Plugin Repository update includes lots of new features.

Now, plugins can have logos, that will be shown on all listings. You can update them on your plugin page, on the link "Edit Plugin icon". You can also fill the Documentation field in the plugin edit menu, that will add a new tab with the new contents on your plugin. Use that to decrease the amount of information on the Overview page.

Also, plugins can be featured by the team. Create good plugins and they will get featured. Don't ask us to add them, or you will enter a blacklist

We have just updated the way we ban people on the forums. Instead of giving them directly, we will issue Warnings that carry warning points, that will expire after a given time. You can warn us about improper behavior or anything that breaks the rules using the "Report" button, giving a reason. Note that the misuse of this functionality will carry a penalty

These bans will be applied automatically

• 2 points = 1 week ban
• 3 points = 3 week ban
• 5 points = 1 month ban
• 7 points = Permanent ban

Note that Warning Points will expire automatically except for a few exceptions, so your profile will be cleaned of them if you don't break the rules. You can view your Warnings on your profile, and you will be sent a message when receiving one.
