Minecraft server on mac


I play minecraft a lot. I just am bored so i will be making instructions to making a minecraft server. First you will have to go to dl.bukkit.org then you will install craftbukkit.jar. The download will be named a little bit different so go ahead and change it to craftbukkit.jar. Then you will go to Text edit and type in this code:

#!/bin/bash

cd "$( dirname "$0" )"

java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true





when you type that in Text edit go to format and make plain text and hit ok. Then go to File then save then u have to make the name have .command at the end or it will not work. So lets just do start.command. Drag it to your desktop and make a folder named server. It doesn't matter what it has to be named but that is what I call it. So put ur files in there at we shall be good. Then open up terminil should be in search and applications. When you open up terminal go ahead and type : chmod a+x (space)chmod(space)a+x(space). Then drag in the start.command file u just made. Then press enter. This allows ur server to run. Then go ahead and click start.command file 2 times and it shall open. If it says FAILED to bind port then go into terminal type in ifconfig. Then it will give u a list of things. Go into section en1 and you will find your ip on the third line. Go to server.properties (it should have appeared in the folder server) and go to ip: and type in the ip u found in terminal. When you open start.command it will have a bunch loading things. Do not worry it is supposed to load every time u do this. When u have it loaded ur server folder should be filled with folders. Find your ip by going to terminal and typing ifconfig. Hit enter and as I said before you go into en1 and you will find your ip on the line with inet for the first word and after inet it should say your ip. Go to mine craft and login to ur server with the ip u just got. If it is your server and you are running it on the same computer u can type in "localhost" for your ip and it should connect you to ur server. Warning it will only work with wifi same as you if you type local host

Diamond if you want me to make a blog on how to port forward a mine craft server (:

No offence Blake but you need to port forward or the server will not work for your friends local host only works for people on the same WiFi as you, like a LAN world.
