The ZyroNetwork Team is proud to share the PocketMine-MP 1.26.40 Pre-Release — a major milestone for Bedrock server development.

This version brings meaningful improvements to performance, stability, and the plugin API that the community has been waiting for.

What's New in 1.26.40?​

Asynchronous Networking​

The networking stack has been reworked to reduce main thread blocking. Expect lower latency and fewer tick drops under heavy player loads.

Enhanced Entity AI​

Mob behavior and pathfinding have been overhauled with a cleaner, more extensible system. Plugin developers can now hook into AI goals more easily.

API 5 Strict Typing​

PHP 8.1+ strict typing is now enforced across all API surfaces. Return types and parameter types are fully declared, making code safer and IDE auto-completion more reliable.

New Vanilla Block Support​

Additional block states and interactions have been mapped, bringing the server closer to vanilla parity for survival gameplay.
