Introduction
PocketMine is an open source server for playing MineCraft Pocket Edition (MCPE) is available on iOS and android.
Important: This guide is for developers if you simply like to run PocketMine on Windows or Linux look at their website.
This guide is intended to get PocketMine to work from Git for use with iOS client MineCraft PE v0.14.0. The server software being using is FreeBSD. I am running it inside a FreeBSDJail

Compile PHP from ports as ZTS feature is needed for pthreads

Add some more standard packages
rzplay# pkg install git bash subversion
Checkout Source Code and dependencies
rzplay% git clone https://github.com/PocketMine/PocketMine-MP rzplay% ( cd PocketMine-MP/src/spl ; git submodule init; git submodule update )
All done, let's start the server
rzplay% bash ./PocketMine-MP/start.sh -p /usr/local/bin/php
(Optional) automatic starting of application
Since it is interactive I like to start it in a screen session on boot by including it into crontab
rzplay% crontab -e
@reboot $HOME/start-pocketmine.sh
rzplay% cat <<EOF > $HOME/start-pocketmine.sh /usr/local/bin/screen -S PocketMine -d -m /usr/local/bin/bash $HOME/PocketMine-MP/start.sh -p /usr/local/bin/php EOF
rzplay% chmod 755 $HOME/start-pocketmine.sh
All done, server running at rzplay.vanderzwet.net at (standard) port 19132
Folks
PocketMine has quite some forks ClearSky and Genisys for example. I like to stick to the 'original one'.
