Hey, I became interested in branching out to a PE server (been doing PC servers for years, thought id give this a try), so I got a vps, set up the newest pmmp version, and now I'm stumped. Looking at the available plugins on this site.... there's only 28.. compared to the hundreds of outdated unusable plugins that are on the old PocketMine site. Pretty much what I'm asking is, am I missing something? Can someone direct me to a large collection of plugins to choose from, or direct me to the core essential ones that every server needs? I'm trying to make a KitPvP type server, and with the limited amount of plugins offered on this site.. I just don't see that happening. Any help or insight is appreciated, thanks!
You can find a lot of plugins on GitHub, although it is harder to find them. Two that may help you are EssentialsPE and AdvancedKits. In the future, you can use the "Plugin Requests" section if you can't find a plugin you want.
I struggled with pretty much the same problem but after a while, I realized a lot of the old plugins still work if you bump the API by going into their plugin.yml file. But a strong warning this is probably not recommended and definitely not encouraged but if you don't mind spending a while finding plugins that work and that don't screw your other plugins up then that might work for you. also like corytortoise said some of the very helpful ones are essentials PE and advanced kits. in addition to those other helpful plugins i use are BlockSniper (port of voxelsniper) , simple warp, simple portals, magic world edit, a really cool one thats fun to play with called Fast travel and , floating text Also i use anti-spam pro to block cursing and foul language
Funny you should mention this. I was actually thinking about making an "all-in-one" site where people can upload MCPE plugins for not only PMMP but other servers. Anyway on the topic of this post: Assuming you already know at least the basics of PHP, looking in the PMMP source is a good foundation. That's how I started learning everything. It's really a good resource. You can also check out these forums, which I also often do, as people will have problems that get solved all the time. And to add to the list of plugins you can look at; https://github.com/reduxRedstone/MCPE-Citizens2 https://github.com/reduxRedstone/MCPE-HelperAI These two plugins are two that I've made by using what I learned from the PMMP source. One is a server AI that players can ask questions to, and it replies. It uses machine learning from Monkey to handle questions. The second one is a (still in development, but fully working) port of the Citizens plugin to MCPE.
