Building

Pre-requisites

A bash shell (git bash is sufficient for Windows)
git available in your shell
PHP 8.2 or newer available in your shell
composer available in your shell

Custom PHP binaries

Because PocketMine-MP requires several non-standard PHP extensions and configuration, PMMP provides scripts to build custom binaries for running PocketMine-MP, as well as prebuilt binaries.

Prebuilt binaries
Compile scripts are provided as a submodule in the path build/php

If you use a custom binary, you'll need to replace composer usages in this guide with path/to/your/php path/to/your/composer.phar.

Setting up environment

git clone https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP.git
composer install

Checking out a different branch to build

git checkout <branch to checkout>
Re-run composer install to synchronize dependencies.

Optimizing for release builds

Add the flags --no-dev --classmap-authoritative to your composer install command. This will reduce build size and improve autoloading speed.

Building `PocketMine-MP.phar`

Run composer make-server using your preferred PHP binary. It'll drop a PocketMine-MP.phar into the current working directory.

You can also use the --out option to change the output filename.

Running PocketMine-MP from source code

Run src/PocketMine.php using your preferred PHP binary.
