Management Updating your PocketMine Server :)

Hello! I am @Legoboy0215 and I am going to show you how to update a server.
First of all, I am writing this post because as some of you noticed, people ask questions like

or

So here I am trying to help.
Basic knowledge first:

• Know how to install a PM-MP server.
• Knows how to start a server.
• An '*' is a wildcard

Not required knowledge:

• Knowing how to code
• Updating a server (Obviously, if you know how to you won't be reading this...)

IMPORTANT STUFF:
PocketMine Version || MCPE Version
PM 1.3 || 0.8.*
PM 1.4beta || 0.9.*
PM 1.4.1 || 0.10.*
PM 1.5dev || 0.11.*
PM 1.6bleeding || 0.12.*​

So let's start!

1. Stop your server (If you haven't yet)
2. Download the .phar of the build you want. (The links are on the chart )
3. Rename the file to 'PocketMine-MP' or 'PocketMine-MP' depends on your system's setting.
4. Replace the old file with the renamed file.
5. Start the server
6. Type
   Code:

    version 

   ON THE CONSOLE
7. If the version is the PM-MP version you want to run, then you did it all right!

Notice:
The current version, PM 1.6 has some builds that uses PHP 7.
Those builds REQUIRE PHP 7, so if you don't have PHP 7 download the none PHP 7 version.
(It will say if it uses PHP 7 or not in the file name )
​

Leave a like if I helped!

PHP7 API 2.0

We are not talking about API versions though.

Maybe it's an off topic but is there anyone who ran PocketMine with PHP 7 on Linux?

No-One

Yes. The problem is that some programmers of some PHP extensions used by PocketMine aren't updating them to PHP 7

I know, read the post i gave you.

Useful for ppl who noob about pm version

Shoghi and other developers released some builds of Pm that uses PHP 7. but they say nothing how we can use it.. :/

I was able to do this. I downloaded PHP7 from the jenkins server. The only extension that was missing was php-leveldb (only needed if you use LevelDB format worlds).

I was using CentOS 7, 64 bit for my Linux.

So where did you find Weakref extension for PHP 7?

The PHP7 build in the Jenkins server had all the required extensions.

Me too, had no problem running the PHP7 dev builds with the pocketmine PHP7 installer from the Jenkins server (pthreads, yaml etc are already configured). Most plugins work too as long as you update the API versions

Could you please share the link where you download php7 ?

Woow!! I'll try it. Hope to see PocketMine with PHP 7 running
Thank you

Works in Windows ?

Someone Know what are causing it ?

EssentialsPE Did That... Hope it gets fixed..

It doesn't work anyway. PocketMine starts with an error message which says that Weakref extension can't be found. I've already tried to edit PocketMine source and removing Weakref extension check but it crashes anyway.

Well written.
