Bump PHP minimum requirement to 8.0 
PHPStan failed on 7.4 after updating to 0.12.99, and I figured it was less hassle to just do this than fix the build. In any case, we stopped shipping 7.4 months ago, and warned at 3.22 release that 7.4 support would soon be dropped.

Building

Pre-requisites

  • A bash shell (git bash is sufficient for Windows)
  • git available in your shell
  • PHP 8.0 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.

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

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

Checking out a different branch to build

  1. git checkout <branch to checkout>
  2. git submodule update --init
  3. Re-run composer install to synchronize dependencies.

Optimizing for release builds

  1. Add the flags --no-dev --classmap-authoritative to your composer install command. This will reduce build size and improve autoloading speed.
  2. Preprocess the source code by running build/preprocessor/PreProcessor.php. Usage instructions are provided in build/preprocessor/README.md.

Note

Preprocessor requires that the cpp (c preprocessor) is available in your PATH.

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.

There is a bug in PHP that might cause an error which looks like this:

Fatal error: Uncaught BadMethodCallException: unable to create temporary file in PocketMine-MP/build/server-phar.php:119

You can work around it by setting ulimit -n to some bigger number, e.g. 8192, or by updating your PHP version to at least 8.0.3.

Running PocketMine-MP from source code

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