You can install PocketMine from the shared Versions page. PocketMine has its own plugin system and differs from the official Bedrock Dedicated Server, so check that it suits the gameplay and plugins you need before switching.

If you only want the normal Bedrock server software, use this guide instead: How to install or update Bedrock on your Minecraft server.

Install PocketMine

  1. Stop your server and take a backup, then open Versions in the control panel.
  2. Choose Bedrock Versions under Version type to show the Bedrock software options.

  5. Wait for the install to finish, then start the server from Console.

Check server files and install plugins

After PocketMine has started once, open Files. A working PocketMine install should have files and folders such as PocketMine-MP.phar, pocketmine.yml, plugins, plugin_data, worlds, and server.properties.

Open Plugins to install compatible PocketMine plugins from Poggit, or upload them yourself using File Manager or SFTP with FileZilla. Full steps are here: How to install PocketMine plugins.
