Easy Methods To Setup Minecraft Server On A Mac - Half 1: Setup Server
These instructions are based mostly on the official mac instructions at minecraft site.

If you don’t want a lot help, go there. But when you like photos, start here.

This is the first a part of a three part tutorial:

- Half 1: Setup Server
- Part 2: Setup Local Consumer
- Half 3: Setup Web Consumer

Half 1: Setup Server

Obtain the minecraft server jar file.

Create a directory known as ‘server’ and drag the jar file in there.

Make a command file

To make it easy to begin your server, we are going to create a ‘start.command’ file. Double clicking this file will launch your server.

Open TextEdit (/Functions/TextEdit).

Set the format to plain text.

Copy in the following textual content.

Make sure to change the minecraft_server.jar to match the identify of the jar within the listing (in my case minecraft_server.1.7.4.jar).

Put it aside in the identical directory as your jar file.

Make this command executable by opening a terminal (/Purposes/Terminal) and typing

chmod a+x

with an area after it. Drag and drop the beginning.command file into the terminal window and then press enter.

Double click the start server to start out the server.

If all works a brand new server window will open and you will see several errors about lacking files and directories - don’t worry this is okay.

Congrats! You’ve setup the server. Next Minecraft-servers are going to configure Time Capsule so your server runs for everyone on your network.

In the event you ran into problems, examine this troubleshooting part for fixes.

Troubleshooting server setup

Unable to access jarfile error

If you got ‘Unable to access jarfile’ when double clicking the beginning.command file,

the filename in your start.command file doesn’t match the jar file name on disk.

Repair this by opening the start.command file

and changing the filename to be appropriate (ensure you get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.Four included within the file identify).

Rich-text-format error

If your textual content file keeps wanting to rename itself start.rtf, it’s since you haven’t made the text file ‘plain textual content format’. Go over the instructions once more above, and make this file plain textual content format.

Configure Time Capsule

Earlier than any clients can hook up with our server, we have to configure Time Capsule to maintain a static native IP tackle, and inform it what port number our server goes to be working on.

You might have your mother or dad for this step (because it will require Time Capsule password).

Open System Preferences > Network

Click the advanced button in the lower right hand corner. And then the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.

The place it says Configure IPv4, change that option to ‘Using DHCP with manual address’.

Change the IP tackle to 10.0.1.x, the place x will be any number from 1 to 100.

Note the address you type here: 10.0.1.x. You are going to wish it later when we setup the Airport Utility

Hit Ok and go back to ‘System Preferences.

You may need to save your adjustments before leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Okay.

Now go to the ‘Sharing’ section of System Preferences and make sure that Web Sharing is on.

Do that by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’

After which double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand facet. When it asks you if you really wish to enable Web Sharing say ‘OK’.

Now, open up AirPort Utility and edit your Time Capsule settings.

Click the Time Capsule picture and then the ‘Edit’ button in the lower right.

Go underneath Community and ensure the option Router Mode is ready to DHCP and NAT. Now, click the + button beneath the Port Settings.

Kind in the following:

- Description: Minecraft Server (or no matter you want to call it)
- Personal IP Tackle: The deal with you selected for the 4th step.

Change the whole lot with the word port in it to 25565.

It ought to look something like this now.

Now hit ‘Update’ and update the Time Capsule.

Okay. At this point you have to be good.
You have got a server.
You have a router that knows about your server and won’t attempt to vary your IP address.
Subsequent we are going to setup the native consumer.
After which after that the internet client.
