For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.4.0
Plugin scheduler rewrite, RCON rewrite, performance improvements, improved idle memory usage
While this release is nominally not an alpha, it is still not feature complete and does not include all gameplay features. Please do not create issues for missing gameplay features.
This build has breaking API changes. This release is the first to use the new merged versioning system. The PocketMine-MP version and the API version are now one and the same.
Please use our issue tracker to report bugs.
3.0.0
Core
General
- This release introduces a new dependency library called
Snooze
, which PocketMine-MP utilizes for managing notifications between threads. This library is currently utilized by command reading, RCON and RakLib, allowing faster response times to commands, reduced network latency, and better performance due to lack of need for polling. - Fixed race condition causing
ServerKiller
to sometimes kill the server for no reason on shutdown.
Dependency libraries
Requires the following libraries:
pocketmine/raklib
^0.12.0
pocketmine/spl
^0.3.0
pocketmine/binaryutils
^0.1.0
pocketmine/nbt
^0.2.0
pocketmine/math
^0.2.0
pocketmine/snooze
^0.1.0
These libraries may individually have changes which are not recorded here. See their independent repository releases for their changelogs.
Async pooling
- Async workers are now started dynamically when they are needed only, instead of being started immediately on startup. This allows reducing idle memory usage.
- AsyncPool now appropriately shuts down the workers when instructed to, instead of leaving it up to the ThreadManager to clean it up. This eliminates debug messages of shutting down async workers on server shutdown.
- Default maximum async worker memory limit has been lowered from 1024MB to 256MB.
- Async workers are now started using the options
PTHREADS_INHERIT_CONSTANTS | PTHREADS_INHERIT_INI
, which reduces idle memory wastage and works around some bugs in pthreads.
Entities
- Fixed entities not being despawned when flagged, if they weren't scheduled for an update.
Levels
- Seed handling is now always consistent between
pocketmine.yml
andserver.properties
. - Fixed generation bugs in imported LevelDB worlds where the classpath was saved into level.dat.
- Generators for levels are no longer created on the main thread, reducing memory usage.
Plugins
- Plugin data is now stored under
<data dir>/plugin_data
by default on new installations, instead of in<plugins dir>
. This behaviour does not affect existing installations by default - if you want to enable it, setplugins.legacy-data-dir
tofalse
inpocketmine.yml
.
RCON
RCON has been almost completely rewritten in this release.
- Now event-driven (using Snooze) instead of poll-based, improving performance.
- Fixed segmentation fault when stopping the server with RCON enabled.
API
WARNING: Dependency library API changes are not listed here. See their individual release notes for changes (linked above in the Core section).
API versioning changes for plugins
The way that the API versioning is done has changed. Now the API version is synonymous with the PocketMine-MP version. Plugin compatibility is determined by the following:
- Take the base version, and strip any metadata (everything after the
+
sign, for example3.0.0+dev.1191
becomes3.0.0
). - Assert that:
- The major versions is the same
- The server's minor version is greater than or equal to the plugin's
- The server's patch version is greater than or equal to the plugin's
Currently there is no support for locking version by metadata, although this could be implemented if it is a wanted feature.
General
Server->getCodename()
and\pocketmine\CODENAME
have been removed.- Added API method
Server->getTickSleeper()
, which returns a\pocketmine\snooze\SleeperHandler
instance. Server->getIp()
now returns0.0.0.0
if not set.
Block
- Added
Block->getXpDropForTool()
.
Entity
- Calling
scheduleUpdate()
on anEntity
after it has beenclose()
d will now cause an exception to be thrown. Entity->motionX
,Entity->motionY
Entity->motionZ
have been removed in favour of anEntity->motion
Vector3
field. This also applies for thelastMotion
fields.Entity->isInsideOfWater()
has been renamed toisUnderwater()
.
Events
- Added support for
@softDepend
annotation on event handlers, which allows the event handler to not be registered if the dependency plugin is not loaded. - Added support for
@notHandler
annotation forListener
methods to indicate that such methods are not event handlers. - Typehints have been applied to the events API to PHP 7.2 standards.
- Fixed preventing effect expiry using
EntityEffectRemoveEvent
not being reflected on the client. EntityDamageEvent
API has significant changes. The general purpose of this is to split up base damage from modifiers.- Added methods
getBaseDamage()
,setBaseDamage()
,getOriginalBaseDamage()
,getModifiers()
,getOriginalModifiers()
setDamage()
renamed tosetModifier()
, and type parameter is now mandatorygetDamage()
renamed togetModifier()
, and type parameter is now mandatorygetOriginalDamage()
renamed togetOriginalModifier()
, and type parameter is now mandatory- Removed
MODIFIER_BASE
constant - Constructors now accept:
float baseDamage
,float[] modifiers
instead of justfloat[] modifiers
- Added methods
- Added
BlockBreakEvent->getXpDropAmount()
andBlockBreakEvent->setXpDropAmount()
.
Inventory
InventoryTransaction->getCreationTime()
has been removed.EntityInventoryChangeEvent
andEntityArmorChangeEvent
are no longer fired during entity inventory intialization.
Item
- Methods
isPickaxe()
,isAxe()
,isSword()
,isShovel()
,isHoe()
,isShears()
have been removed. These should be replaced withinstanceof
checks for the relevant classes. - Removed
Item->useOn()
. This has been superseded by new methods used for handling durability changes. - Added hooks
Item->onDestroyBlock()
andItem->onAttackEntity()
. These are called when a player uses the item to destroy a block or attack an entity respectively. This is used in the core code for updating durability. Item->pop()
now accepts an optional count parameter.Enchantment
now has separated primary items (which can be enchanted directly) and secondary items (which can be enchanted on an anvil). The constructor ofEnchantment
has been updated to reflect this.- Removed
Enchantment->getSlot()
andEnchantment->hasSlot()
. - Added
Enchantment->getPrimaryItemFlags()
,Enchantment->hasPrimaryItemFlag()
,Enchantment->getSecondaryItemFlags()
andEnchantment->hasSecondaryItemFlag()
- Removed
Level
Biome
classes have been moved topocketmine\level\biome
namespace. This is in preparation for future work on Levels which requires biome information (such as weather conditions).WeakPosition
has been removed.- Added
Level->getBiome()
. Level->getSafeSpawn()
now always returns aPosition
instance.Level->getBlockExtraData()
andLevel->setBlockExtraData()
have been removed (as well as their associatedChunk
methods).ChunkManager->isInWorld()
now accepts integers instead of floats.- Added
SubChunkIteratorManager->invalidate()
.
Generator
BiomeSelector
has been refactored to make it simpler and more robust.- Generator-management methods
registerDefaultGenerators()
,addGenerator()
,getGeneratorList()
,getGenerator()
, andgetGeneratorName()
have been moved fromGenerator
to a newGeneratorManager
class. - Static noise functions in the
Generator
base class have been moved toNoise
instance methods. - Added static method
Generator::convertSeed()
, which converts an int or string into a numeric seed for generation.
Network
SourceInterface->process()
no longer returns a value.
Plugin
PluginBase->getResources()
now returns an associative array where the index is the path to the resource relative to the plugin'sresources
directory.PluginLoader
s have been almost completely rewritten to make them simpler and more robust.PluginManager->registerInterface()
does not return anything, and now accepts aPluginLoader
instance instead of astring
.PluginLoader
:getPluginFilters()
,enablePlugin()
anddisablePlugin()
are removed.loadPlugin()
responsibilities are now solely confined to doing whatever is necessary to make the plugin's classes visible by the server, and does not emit log messages or check for data directories.- Added method
getAccessProtocol()
which determines what prefix to apply to the plugin path to access the files inside it (for examplephar://
).
PluginBase->init()
andPluginBase->isInitialized()
have been removed.Plugin
interface now declares a signature for the constructor which implementations must comply with.Plugin
interface now declaressetEnabled()
.
- It is now possible to create a custom
Plugin
implementation without requiring a customPluginLoader
.
Scheduler
This release features major changes to how plugin task scheduling works.
- Removed
Server->getScheduler()
. All plugins now have their own scheduler which is accessible usingPlugin->getScheduler()
. Aside from being syntactically more concise and pleasant, this also allows much more effective management of tasks when plugins are disabled. - Removed
PluginTask
class, because it's now unnecessary. Previously it was required to allow the server to delete tasks associated with a plugin when the plugin was disabled. With plugin-owned schedulers, this is no longer a requirement. Plugins may now utilize theTask
class as a base if they like. - Added
Server->getAsyncPool()
. Since the global scheduler does not exist any more, it does not manage the server'sAsyncPool
any more. Additionally,ServerScheduler
was previously bloated by a lot ofAsyncTask
related methods, which are now not necessary because direct access toAsyncPool
is granted instead. ServerScheduler
:ServerScheduler
has been renamed toTaskScheduler
since it is now a general-purpose task scheduler which is non-dependent on the user. This allows much greater flexibility and also makes it possible to unit-test.- All
AsyncTask
/AsyncPool
related methods have been removed - the task scheduler does not manage the async pool anymore.- Calls to
Server->getScheduler()->scheduleAsyncTask()
should be replaced withServer->getAsyncPool()->submitTask()
. - Calls to
Server->getScheduler()->scheduleAsyncTaskToWorker()
should be replaced with andServer->getAsyncPool()->submitTaskToWorker()
.
- Calls to
Tile
- Calling
scheduleUpdate()
on aTile
after it has beenclose()
d will now cause an exception to be thrown. - Tile NBT is now ephemeral and is not retained after creating the tile.
Tile->namedtag
has been removed.Tile->saveNBT()
now returns a newCompoundTag
containing saved data.- Added new protected methods
Tile->readSaveData()
andTile->writeSaveData()
. These should be overridden to add or read tile-specific data, instead of overridingsaveNBT()
and__construct()
.
Utils
- Added
MainLogger->getFormat()
andMainLogger->setFormat()
to allow manipulating console output format.

3.0.1
- Fixed error when players move things around in the crafting grid after plugins cancel
PlayerInteractEvent
on crafting tables.
3.0.2
- Fixed memory dumps not showing private properties of parent classes.
- Fixed a memory leak when cancelling all tasks in the
TaskScheduler
. - Fixed scheduled task timings showing
Unknown
as the plugin name.
3.0.3
- Fixed possible crash in Sign when placed by a plugin.
- Fixed slightly-damaged and very-damaged anvils dropping incorrect items.
Living->applyPostDamageEffects()
is no longer called if the mob died from an attack.- Cooldown for mob attack is now reset prior to applying post-damage effects.
- Added constant
ItemIds::MUTTON
to resolve crashes using PC worlds. - Fixed emerald ore not dropping XP when broken with a valid tool.
- Fixed mobs getting crazy vertical knockback if attacked while airborne.
- Fixed XP orbs continuing to follow dead players.
3.0.4
- Fixed RCON spamming the console when a client does not disconnect correctly.
- Fixed dropping chunk cache unnecessarily when no blocks need to be updated on a chunk.
- Fixed outdated block updates getting sent on chunks replaced using
setBlock()
.
3.0.5
- Fixed not being able to place blocks where a player died and has not yet respawned (#2265).
- Fixed mob death animation not being played when
Entity->kill()
is called directly or/kill
is used. - Fixed viewers of different halves of double chests not seeing changes made by viewers who opened the other half (#2261).
- Fixed bugs setting items into wrong indexes when double chest halves have differently sized inventories.
- Fixed
getConfig()
crashing when called when the plugin's data directory doesn't exist. - Fixed a possible exploit with keychain signing for XBL login.
3.0.6
- Fixed invalid keys in
.properties
config files being considered as invalid strings. - Fixed whitespace between key and value
key = value
being invalid in.properties
config files. - Fixed a bug in exception message when an invalid permission type is written for a command in plugin.yml.
- Properly fixed newline issues when parsing event handler annotations -
@notHandler
will now work as expected when CRLF line endings are used. - Fixed
PluginManager->registerEvents()
registering functions as event handlers declared by parent classes which are notListener
instances (#2293).
3.0.7
- Fixed setting spawn points in un-generated chunks causing the player to fall out of the world.
- Fixed spawn protection deactivating when there are no ops set (this was an unwanted/unexpected feature, so it's considered a bug).
- Fixed cursor items not getting dropped when closing the inventory or dying.
- Fixed more issues with blocks with invalid metadata appearing as update! blocks.
Entity->setNameTagAlwaysVisible()
now works (although nametags will still not be shown if the entity is invisible, due to a behavioural change in Minecraft PE).- Fixed errors passing zero motions to projectiles in some cases.
3.0.8
- Fixed player on-ground state not updating when moving horizontally. This allowed fly hacks with the built in anti-cheat, and also affected some third party anti-cheat plugins due to the effect on
inAirTicks
. - Fixed knockback. PC 1.9-style knockback was mistakenly introduced in 3.0.3. This has now been reverted back to the old 1.8-style behaviour.
3.0.9
- Cleaned up odd behaviour of
/kill
due to old broken code. - Fixed patch level check for plugin APIs not allowing lesser patch versions on greater minor versions.
- Fixed
/timings paste
. This now reports directly to the timings host instead of using Ubuntu Pastebin. - Minor code cleanups in various places.
- Zip resource packs will now give slightly less useless errors - errors for broken manifest have been separated from those with fields missing, and now reports why decoding failed if it failed.
3.0.10
- Syntax error crashdumps will no longer be reported to the crash archive.
- Chunk sending is now fault-tolerant. Before this release, any error on a worker during async chunk sending (such as memory errors caused by pthreads) would cause that chunk to never get sent, resulting in invisible and missing chunks. Levels will now attempt to retry chunk prepare when a task crashes, which should fix most invisible chunk bugs.
MainLogger
now logs exception stack traces in a synchronized block to ensure that they are coherent when log messages are emitted from multiple threads at once.AsyncTask->isCrashed()
now returnstrue
if a fatal error occurred during the task execution.
3.0.11

keys which are considered bools by YAML 1.1 will no longer be transformed into 1 or 0.- Fixed painting motives not getting saved.
- Fixed cacti spewing items when placed in some invalid locations.
- Fixed entity fire damage not applying in the void.
- Fixed entities not getting updated appropriately in some conditions.
