Can't connect with Pocket Edition?

Connectivity
1

I setup everything today and it’s working great with they full version of Minecraft 1.8.

I also tried to connect from the latest iOS Pocket Edition and it doesn’t work.

Any ideas what could be up with that?

Thanks. So far I’m loving MineOS! Thanks for creating it!

From a few searches online it appears you do not use the normal server jar to host Minecraft PE. In fact, it looks as if there is no official server jar at all!

Most sources point to PocketMine as being the only way to do this.

Looking at the site, it appears it is also much more complicated than just downloading a server jar–it seems to even require building it from source (which is done on the user-end by simply installing the required packages and running a non-interactive script).

So it looks like that is what the issue is with you being unable to connect, but give these instructions a try and see if you can get it compiled. If so, we can take the next step and see about getting it working from the webui.

I’d like to give this some time. Not much as I have two other major projects taking my time and then Uni starts in just over a month.

So it was pretty easy to get up and going.
I created a new directory ./tmp
I ran

wget -q -O - http://get.pocketmine.net/ | bash

then I ran

./start.sh

./start.sh

It runs in screen and creates a PHP instance. Looks like it wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. Though some options would have to be changed. Maybe able to just download the source and run ./start.sh - It doesn’t seem to run a custom PHP compilation.
