    I have a new machine and want to export my server from my old machine. What files do I need to move over?

    Yes everything, my users won’t be able to tell that I moved. Can I simply copy all the files and directories over to the new system?

    Yes, just copy the whole PocketMine folder.
    You might want to test the php binary (bin folder) before moving all of them, because it may be incompatible with your new machine.

    Thanks for confirming. It does look like I am having php issues (I am moving the files to a different folder because I had installed pocketmine loose in the user folder and not in a "pocket mine" folder.

    I assume the following files are the ones I should move? Is there a better way to export these?
    CONTRIBUTING.md compile.sh resource_packs
    LICENSE crashdumps server.lock
    PocketMine install.log server.log
    PocketMine-MP.phar ops.txt server.properties
    README.md players sheep.lock
    banned-ips.txt plugin_data start.sh
    banned-players.txt plugins white-list.txt
    bin pocketmine.yml worlds

    No, moving them is as convinient as it gets, why would you want another, overcomplicated way?

    A built-in export/import system that would generate or ingest a single zipped file.

    That's way more work for the person that moves the files and way more code that needs to be maintained, there is no advantage to this

    Just say you don't want to maintain so much code, don't make stuff up and attack the feature request.

    I don't maintain anything, dktapps does, I'm just being reasonable.
