Half 1: Setup Server
Download the minecraft server jar file.
Create a directory called ‘server’ and drag the jar file in there.
Make a command file
To make it straightforward to start your server, we're going to create a ‘start.command’ file. Double clicking this file will launch your server.
Open TextEdit (/Applications/TextEdit).
Set the format to plain textual content.
Copy in the next text.
Ensure 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 listing as your jar file.
Make this command executable by opening a terminal (/Purposes/Terminal) and typing
chmod a+x
with a space after it. Drag and drop the start.command file into the terminal window and then press enter.
Double click the start server to begin the server.
If all works a brand new server window will open and you will notice several errors about missing files and directories - don’t worry this is ok.
Congrats! You’ve setup the server. Next we are going to configure Time Capsule so your server runs for everyone on your network.
Should you ran into problems, verify this troubleshooting part for fixes.
Troubleshooting server setup
Unable to entry jarfile error
If you bought ‘Unable to access jarfile’ when double clicking the start.command file,
the filename in your begin.command file doesn’t match the jar file title on disk.
Fix this by opening the start.command file
and altering the filename to be right (ensure you get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.Four included within the file title).
Wealthy-textual content-format error
If your text file keeps wanting to rename itself start.rtf, it’s since you haven’t made the text file ‘plain text format’. Go over the instructions again above, and make this file plain textual content format.
Configure Time Capsule
Earlier than any clients can hook up with our server, we need to configure Time Capsule to keep a static local IP handle, and tell it what port quantity our server goes to be working on.
You may have your mom or dad for this step (because it will require Time Capsule password).
Open System Preferences > Community
Click the superior button in the lower right hand corner. After which the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.
Where it says Configure IPv4, change that option to ‘Using DHCP with handbook address’.
Change the IP address to 10.0.1.x, the place x can be any number from 1 to 100.
Be aware the deal with you sort here: 10.0.1.x. You're going to need it later after we setup the Airport Utility
Hit Okay and go back to ‘System Preferences.
You may have to save your modifications before leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Ok.
Now go to the ‘Sharing’ part of System Preferences and make it possible for Web Sharing is on.
Do that by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’
After which double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand aspect. When it asks you if you actually need to allow Web Sharing say ‘OK’.
Now, open up AirPort Utility and edit your Time Capsule settings.
Click the Time Capsule image and then the ‘Edit’ button within the decrease proper.
Go beneath Network and make sure the option Router Mode is about to DHCP and NAT. Now, click on the + button under the Port Settings.
Sort in the next:
- Description: Minecraft Server (or no matter you want to call it)
- Non-public IP Deal with: The handle 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.
Ok. At this level you should be good.
You could have a server.
You could have a router that knows about your server and won’t attempt to alter your IP deal with.
Next we're going to setup the native client.
