    Hey guys, I would like to run multiple servers with my Android device. And I still don't know how. Is there any app or any way to run a .cmd file? Or .sh? Or that runs a .phar?

    The short, and long, answer to that is 'no'.

    yes like how you would run multiple servers in a VPS, warning it may just make both servers unusable and login timed out

    I think I got it, I might install Parallel Space again and run PMMP in Parallel Space to have multiple servers

    Of course you can, but as with most things, why would you want to?

    PocketMine is heavily constrained by CPU clock. Mobile devices such as Android phones typically are low-power, and keeping in line with that, keep their clock speeds low with conservative governors. On top of that, you have thermal throttling. When your device gets hot, it will also downscale frequency. This makes it extremely inadvisable to run even single instances of PocketMine on mobile devices. What do you think would happen if you ran multiple?

    Its good for developing plugins. You can develop them anytime, anywhere.

    How does that relate to hosting multiple servers?
    He meant you shouldn't not you can't.

    I waw replying to KnownUnknown in the first quote, he said you shouldnt host them on Android which is true, i was just stating that it could be useful for development.

    If I only have Samsung S7 Edge, it has the same as our loptop's RAM. And it might happen to my phone. My phone is only 1 gb RAM

    Actually I'd only liked to use Android devices, because our loptop is not fully mine, and I can't host with our loptop the whole day. (Which means I can only host in our loptop weekly or monthly)

    @TheDiamondYT Let me rephrase:

    The short answer to that, if you have to ask the question, is 'no'.

    The long answer is that it is indeed possible to 'run multiple servers' on an Android device... it's also 'possible' to run servers on a smart TV, or in a Windows VM on Linux host. But if, as the above post confirms, the OP means 'host multiple playable servers on Android'... then I'm sorry to disappoint you but it's still 'no', even for a single server.
