Part 1: Setup Server



Obtain the minecraft server jar file.



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



Make a command file



To make it straightforward to start out your server, we're 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 next text.



Be sure to alter the minecraft_server.jar to match the identify of the jar in the listing (in my case minecraft_server.1.7.4.jar).



Save it in the same directory as your jar file.

chmod a+x



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



Double click the beginning server to begin the server.

Troubleshooting server setup



Unable to entry jarfile error

and changing the filename to be correct (be sure to get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.Four included within the file title).



Rich-textual content-format error



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



Configure Time Capsule



Earlier than any shoppers can hook up with our server, we have to configure Time Capsule to keep a static native IP deal with, and inform it what port number our server goes to be operating on.



You may need your mom or dad for this step (as a result of it will require Time Capsule password).



Open System Preferences > Network



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



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



Change the IP handle to 10.0.1.x, the place x may be any number from 1 to 100.



Be aware the tackle you type here: 10.0.1.x. You're going to want it later when we setup the Airport Utility



Hit Okay and return to ‘System Preferences. Minecraft server list

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



Do this by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’



And then double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand facet. When it asks you if you actually want to enable Web Sharing say ‘OK’.



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



Click the Time Capsule image after which the ‘Edit’ button within the decrease right.



Go under Network and make sure the option Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT. Now, click on the + button underneath the Port Settings.



Type in the next:



- Description: Minecraft Server (or whatever you need to call it)- Non-public IP Handle: The address you selected for the 4th step.



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



It should look one thing like this now.



Now hit ‘Update’ and update the Time Capsule.



Ok. At this point you need to be good. You have a server. You've gotten a router that is aware of about your server and won’t strive to change your IP tackle. Subsequent we are going to setup the local client. After which after that the internet consumer.
