PocketMine 1.6 status

[shoghicp]

While PocketMine 1.5 has not been yet released, we need to plan some future work for Minecraft: PE 0.12 and work on some of the features already. Some work that was expected for 1.5 has been moved into this release, due to time constraints.

Expected changes

• New Network API
• Multiple dimensions per Level support
• Attributes and NBT for items
• Implement remaining potion effects
• Nether generator / dimension
• Implement full Entity classes and physics, then work on AI (?)

Current branches

• network-api: New Network API and protocol separation into events and handlers
• mcpe-0.12: Secret branch with new changes for MCPE 0.12

Main Tasks

• Separate all packet handlers into their own events, handlers and fields
• Dimension creation, saving and loading from a single level (recursive levels?)
• Add partial NBT support around the item code
• Add partial attribute support for entities
• Implement nether generator and its biome

---

The list of expected changes is not final and can be modified at any time. There is no release date nor an estimated time of finalization.

Wow. Cool! 👍

Looks really awesome. Gonna be looking forward to entity AI.

[shoghicp]

@64FF00 Entity AI was moved back from 1.5 due to time constraints, but after 0.12 I don't expect a lot of releases after a few months. It might not make it into 1.6.0, but maybe 1.6.1 or as a branch (as network-api, for example, it was intended for 1.5 but it's going to be pushed here to speed 1.5 release)

Ooooooo 👍🏼

[alejzeis]

Yay Networking API.

[iksaku]

NBT for items! Finnally :'D This will open the doors for custom items (in some way) >:)

[TruDan]

:D

[PEMapModder]

The dimensions will be dynamic, or fixed to overworld and nether?

[shoghicp]

@PEMapModder static on MCPE, but dynamic in PM, so you'll be able to add any number of dimensions on levels (defaults to only Nether)

[o0TIGER0o117]

I would like bukkit stability or not.

[Creeperface01]

Wow awesome!

[ghost]

Wait, why is it secret? Is it because of undisclosed features?

[qq505916481]

Good

[alejzeis]

@SopaXorzTaker what is secret?

This is not a forum. Secret only means that it is not pushed to a public repo branch yet. Probably because they aren't stable yet.

[ghost]

I know what secret repos are.
I mean, he does not want to disclose MCPE 12.0 techincal details, so he maintains a secret repo.

[alekseynow]

What about spawn mobs? Will it be added at 1.6?

[cesar102828]

Sounds great!!
Who's in charge of the pocket mine app?
Great work by the way!!

[JunhaoKing]

Not to say that issued on August 3? As a result...
