Installing PocketMine MineCraft PE Server on CentOS 7

I had wanted a free service that I could control. I wasn't looking to feed more money to Mojang just so that my kids can have a persistent world to play in together. Realms isn't something I would pay for, I can't imagine that it will be a reasonable cost for what it is.
I completely agree with this reason. This is the driving reason the the EQ Emulator project came to exist. People did not want to pay Sony their monthly fee. Later it also come to represent a ton of custom content.
But in the case of MineCraft, it was not the primary driver. That may change, but it wasn't.

If we played continuously I would not mind the cost so much. But it's just for two small children who want a persistent world. It could run in the house for all I care, they have no one externally to play with anyway. The Realms idea isn't so bad for hard core players or adults. But for a five year old who wants to play with her sister on her $35 tablet, Realms will likely be a disproportionality expensive item

So JB - is there a way today to get to a working PE setup with a self controlled server?

ClearSky might work. I hope to test it in a few weeks.

Not with PocketMine, unless you intentionally disable app updates on your device. If you are already updated, you will have to revert the app.

What is the current version up to?

Realms is out now and super expensive and limited to just ten users. I've not had time to follow up on alternatives in a bit. Will do so when I can. My kids are using the peer to peer gaming these days which is getting them by for the moment. Sucks, though, as on Kindle Fires you cannot force an update and they don't stay in sync so they don't work reliably (and maybe not with Realms, either.)
-
Just a quick update that PocketMine has remained dormant. Nothing has changed as far as the new updates. They did post something in late April on Twitter that they were going to update their servers for the website which seems odd as why would that be busy when the project has nothing going on for eight months now?

Been a while. Just following up that the PocketMine project has remained dormant since last year.

Mine would be so happy if we got this working.

Any idea if nukkit will work? Looks like it pulls from the bukkit project a bit.

Have you found install instructions for that?

https://github.com/Nukkit/Nukkit
Looks like it is just a compiled jar file. Similar to how the bukkit or official Minecraft servers are setup.

Giving this a look see, finally.

So testing it out the answer is... it's not even remotely playable. Their website doesn't work, their downloads are very random and not stable, there is no documentation and while it "runs" it's nothing but one continuous glitch. It's so not ready that there is nothing to really look at. Off to find another option.

I've not touched this in three and a half years, I'm afraid. This stuff easily doesn't work any longer
