MAC server help, trying to install WE
Hello
I have run a number of personal servers over the years but they have all been 100% vanilla servers. I am a part of the Forgotten Realms architectural build team and have be come quite fluent with world edit.
I have no idea how to install world edit either on my computer to run with my minecraft or for my personal server. I have googled it and it seems to just take me on a goose chase across the internet with no results.
Any help is appreciated.

it seems like every time i try to restart and repeat the process i get continuously less successful
i am in an apartment, but not a shared ip just with myself, i tried launching the server the first time and it was fine and i even joined it, but then nothing?
getting confused >_<

Are you on a shared IP? Like in an apartment?
Trying to launch it now the server does no successfully launch? the terminal runs fine and it does everything but actually initiate the server now?
I got all of that done, server starts up and seems to be running well, the only issue i have is it fails to connect to the port, it says:
[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
[WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Address already in use
[WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?
How do i fix this?
Thanks bob

Thank you for you reply, i will be thoroughly reading through this and working myself through it. I will report the success or frustration once i encounter any. Most of it looks the same as setting up a server on a mac, i may just steal the start command from my other server for now.
Thank you sir.
Thank you sir.
So you're trying to set up a minecraft server with world edit on it? Well if you're trying to do it with a Vanilla server it won't work. Instead you have to go and download something called Craftbukkit (http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/) and download the latest development build (just click the big red box that says 1.6.2 and download it). Now that you have downloaded Craftbukkit you need to set a server up with it!
First off, trying to just run the "craftbukkit.jar" you get from your download will not instantly start a server. So make a new folder and call it: "CraftBukkit". Next you need to create a text document that will be used to start the server. Go ahead and copy and paste the following into the new text document:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$( dirname "$0" )"
java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
Then save it as "start_server.command", a prompt box may appear asking if you want to save it as .command, to which you would say yes.
Good news is, you're almost done! Now you should go to "spotlight" (its the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your screen on a mac) and search for: "terminal". When it appears you want to click on it and a little console box should appear. Now you're going to want to type into terminal the following:
chmod a+x
Now don't hit return just yet! Left-click and drag the "start_server.command" file you just made into terminal and drop it in there (you should see something like: "chmod a+x/Users/yourname/Desktop/Craftbukkit\Server/start_server.command"), then go ahead and hit return. Now to start the server all you need to do is double-click the "start_server.command" file and a console window should appear and the server should start loading files you'll need. (You should keep your "craftbukkit.jar" and "start_server.command" in the "CraftBukkit" folder from earlier).
The console should show some errors, as it always does the first time you start a bukkit server, but when it's done loading its files you can stop the server by simply typing "stop" into the console (do not try and stop the server by closing terminal!).
Now when you look in your "Craftbukkit" folder you should see a number of files such as "ops.txt, whitelist.txt, etc." and there should also be a new folder created called: "plugins". Now you can add worldedit into your server by simply going to the worldedit download page on bukkit (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/worldedit/) and downloading the version that corresponds to your version of craftbukkit (1.6.2).
When you download Worldedit you should, you should get a .zip file which you should then proceed to unzip. Inside it is an assortment of files but the only file you'll need is the "Worldedit.jar" file. So left click that file and drop it in your plugins folder and your done! Start your server up and worldedit will be active on it!
At the time I am posting this Worldedit is only updated to craftbukkit 1.6.1, but it should work just fine on a 1.6.2 server. As the code that Worldedit uses is rarely changed, you should almost never have to update the plugin when new versions of bukkit are released.
Now the only thing I did not cover in this guide to bukkit is how to port forward but assuming that you've managed to run a number of personal servers with no issues, I imagine you have that under control. If you do need help with port-forwarding feel free to message me on PMC! Hope this helped you!
