Current state of PocketMine

I can confirm the following things:

  1. Pocketmine-980 still downloads. It appears this build still functions, though there is a good likelihood that none of your tablet clients will, since this server will be much older than the version your tablet is.
  2. Pocketmine-1266 doesn’t download at all. I’ll be looking soon into finding a better URL for these downloads or I might remove it entirely.

The Pocketmine-PHP downloads are hit-or-miss, and it largely depends on what distro you’ve installed. I’m seeing now that recent PHP downloadable builds (through profiles) require a more recent GLIBC library than what MineOS Turnkey is offering (if you’re using Debian Wheezy).

There’s probably even more messiness in play on a FreeNAS system, which I don’t use enough to support well (FreeNAS specifically, not FreeBSD which I test often).

At any rate, broken URLs, highly coupled PHP binaries with the PHAR files…Pocketmine–especially for being presumably defunct in development–I’d say is likely entirely dead.

That said, if we as a community can find good alternative and current projects to tackle tablet/mobile servers, I’ll always do my best to implement them into the webui. Pocket mine’s days are numbered in the webui as-is.
