Building

Pre-requisites

  • A bash shell (git bash is sufficient for Windows)
  • git available in your shell
  • PHP 7.3 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.

Running PocketMine-MP from source code

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