These instructions are based mostly on the official mac instructions at minecraft site.



In case you don’t need a lot help, go there. But if you want photos, start here.



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



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



Half 1: Setup Server



Download the minecraft server jar file.



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



Make a command file



To make it easy to start out 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.



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



Put it aside in the same directory 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 beginning server to start out the server.



If all works a brand new server window will open and you will note several errors about lacking information 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 everybody in your network.



If you happen to ran into issues, check this troubleshooting part for fixes.



Troubleshooting server setup



Unable to access jarfile error



If you bought ‘Unable to entry 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 right (be sure you get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.4 included within the file name).



Wealthy-text-format error



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



Configure Time Capsule



Before any purchasers can connect with our server, we have to configure Time Capsule to maintain a static local IP tackle, and tell it what port number our server is going to be running on.



You might have your mother or dad for this step (as a result of it will require Time Capsule password).



Open System Preferences > Community



Click on the superior button in the decrease right hand nook. And then the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.



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



Change the IP address to 10.0.1.x, the place x may be any quantity from 1 to 100.



Notice the deal with you type right here: 10.0.1.x. You're going to wish it later once we setup the Airport Utility



Hit Okay and return to ‘System Preferences.



You might have to save lots of your modifications earlier than leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Okay.



Now go to the ‘Sharing’ section of System Preferences and make it possible for Internet Sharing is on.



Do this by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’



After which double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand facet. When it asks you if you really want to allow 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 decrease proper.



Go under Network and ensure the choice Router Mode is about to DHCP and NAT. Now, click on the + button underneath the Port Settings.



Sort in the following:



- Description: Minecraft Server (or no matter you need to name it)- Personal IP Handle: The address you chose for the 4th step.



Change every part with the word port in it to 25565.



It ought to look one thing like this now.



Now hit ‘Update’ and replace the Time Capsule.



Okay. At this level you need to be good. You have got a server. You might have a router that is aware of about your server and won’t try to vary your IP address. Think Of Subsequent we're going to setup the local consumer. And then after that the web client.
