    So, I am trying to get back into plugin development and what better place to start than the example plugin. So I am trying to get it to work. I used the guide here: http://pocketmine-mp.readthedocs.org/en/latest/plugins.html I did everything just it said, but it doesn't load. Not just that, I don't get a pop-up that says, loading failed or something like that, it simply doesn't even try. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to here them, thanks!

    In order for a plugin to load you must have a loader to load the plugin. PocketMine can by default only load packaged plugins (.phar), if you want to load a plugin in it's source format, you will need DevTools. DevTools registers a loader for folders.

    If you want to package you plugin just use DevTools and run makeplugin <name>

    Also, it's very common the usage of static instances by devs in the New API, but is considered a bad practise! XD you can use alternative methods, like SimpleAuth, DevTools and EssentialsPE use to access its own API/Core

    If you need help, feel free to find me anytime with pm or IRC :) I'd be grateful to help someone who was once one of the greatest developers.
