Important Notice

PocketMine-MP is NOT a vanilla Minecraft server software. It is poorly suited to hosting vanilla survival servers.It doesn’t have many features from the vanilla game, such as:
  • Vanilla world generation
  • Redstone
  • Mob AI
  • Various other vanilla features
If you just want to play vanilla survival multiplayer, consider using the official Minecraft: Bedrock server software instead.
You may be able to add some of PocketMine-MP’s missing features using plugins from Poggit, or write plugins to implement them yourself.
