PocketMine-Wrapper

Simple scripts for controlling the lifecycle of PocketMine servers

This is a proof of concept that is tested on Windows.

Installation

• Get a clean installation of PocketMine-MP using the PocketMine installer.
• Download php/functions.php and php/wrapper.php together into anywhere in your system.
• Open command terminal and cd to your PocketMine-MP install directory. If ./PocketMine-MP.phar is absent, the script will attempt to load src/pocketmine/PocketMine.php (run-from-source) instead.
• Run your downloaded php/wrapper.php with PHP (with the current working directory at your PocketMine-MP install directory!). You are recommended to use the PHP binaries provided by PocketMine-MP installer, since the php_pthreads extension is required. For example, on Windows:

bin\php\php.exe %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\wrapper.php

Note: To avoid warnings related to timezones, edit your php.ini (usually next to your php.exe) and add this line:

date.timezone=Asia/Hong_Kong

Replace Asia/Hong_Kong with your timezone (https://php.net/timezones)

• Type 0 to make server run for infinite times, type 1 to run server once only, 2 for twice, vice versa. Then click enter.
• After that, the server will start and you can use the terminal like normal console.
• To shutdown the server (like /stop) and then stop restarting, type -die then enter.
• To forcefully shutdown the server, type -kill then enter.
• To get the process ID of the wrapper (not the PocketMine server), type -mypid then enter.
• To get the process ID of the PocketMine server (not the wrapper), type -pmpid then enter.
