One last thing to note, I would consider the current release of this software as a beta release that is still in development so there might be some bugs. If you do start your own software, let us know in the comments below. If you want to host your own server, just download and install the software (remember you need PHP installed as well) and you’re set. It looks like the crew here at DroidGamers has a project this weekend to do and that’s setting up the official DroidGamers server for Minecraft: Pocket Edition for our readers. There is also a plug-in repository where you can submit plug-ins and download other user created plug-ins for your server. Keep in mind that the bigger the server, the better the hardware you need to have although it appears that this server software isn’t as draining as the real Minecraft server software when it comes to resources. The software is available for download for free, you just need a PC or Mac to install it on. Thankfully that option also comes built-in to the software now for those of you who hate fiddling with stuff like port forwarding. While you can keep the server confined to your local network it also comes with the ability to allow from connections online simply by port forwarding the software. Interestingly enough the only thing you need installed on your PC in order to run a server, aside from the software itself, is PHP. It also has an API that allows for the development of plug-ins for the server so you can customize it a you want with these plug-ins. This software will let you host a Minecraft: Pocket Edition server right off of your PC or Mac (supports Linux too) and functions also like a normal Minecraft server. We’ve seen a few projects aiming towards this goal but now it seems one has actually accomplished this and it’s called PocketMine-MP. However, up until now, and until that update comes out, we’ve been trying various ways to create a true Minecraft: Pocket Edition server whether it be hosted off your device or on a PC. Minecraft: Pocket Edition players know that Mojang is working on true online multiplayer that could arrive as soon as the 0.6.0 update if all goes well.
