    How did PocketMine-MP die?

    Background:
    PocketMine-MP development started in 2012 by Shoghi Cervantes Pueyo. An awesome community started growing and many awesome developers started to be attracted, and many of those developers started developing their awesome plugins.

    Why:
    [Theory] --
    Shoghi Cervantes Pueyo (the founder) was the main developer of the software. A few months after he joined Mojang, they prohibited him to continue developing PocketMine, due to realms coming to MCPE. I assume he wanted to keep his job and therefore had to obey Mojang and discontinue the development of PocketMine-MP. The community began to slowly die, and many know members started to become inactive, and thoughts started to come about the death of PocketMine-MP. Many of us asked "is this the death of PocketMine?"

    How did PocketMine-MP revive?

    Background:
    The community was tired that shoghi was not coming back, we still had the hope that PocketMine-MP could come back to life.

    How: luckily an amazing developer, known as @dktapps decided to continue the development of PocketMine-MP on a fork called PMMP. Now there's this forum growing again with many awesome people!

    I wonder how hard it can be, downloading gource and starting the gource command?

    One correction I feel I should make: the software is still PocketMine-MP. PMMP is the organisation name of the reformed PocketMine Team.
