Part 1: Setup Server
Obtain the minecraft server jar file.
Create a directory known as ‘server’ and drag the jar file in there.
Make a command file
To make it easy to start out your server, we are 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 textual content.
Make sure to vary the minecraft_server.jar to match the identify of the jar in the directory (in my case minecraft_server.1.7.4.jar).
Put it aside in the same listing as your jar file.
Make this command executable by opening a terminal (/Functions/Terminal) and typing
chmod a+x
with a space after it. Drag and drop the beginning.command file into the terminal window after which press enter.
Double click on the start server to start out the server.
If all works a new server window will open and you will see several errors about lacking information and directories - don’t worry this is ok.
Congrats! You’ve setup the server. Subsequent we are going to configure Time Capsule so your server runs for everyone on your network.
In the event you ran into problems, verify this troubleshooting part for fixes.
Troubleshooting server setup
Unable to entry 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 identify on disk.
Repair this by opening the beginning.command file
and changing the filename to be appropriate (be sure to get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.Four included within the file identify).
Wealthy-text-format error
If your textual content file keeps eager to rename itself begin.rtf, it’s because you haven’t made the text file ‘plain textual content format’. Go over the instructions once more above, and make this file plain textual content format.
Configure Time Capsule

You may need your mother or dad for this step (because it would require Time Capsule password).
Open System Preferences > Network
Click the superior button in the lower right hand nook. And then the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.
The place it says Configure IPv4, change that choice to ‘Using DHCP with handbook address’.
Change the IP deal with to 10.0.1.x, the place x may be any quantity from 1 to 100.
Word the deal with you sort here: 10.0.1.x. You're going to want it later after we setup the Airport Utility
Hit Okay and go back to ‘System Preferences.
You might have to save your adjustments earlier than leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Okay.
Now go to the ‘Sharing’ part of System Preferences and make sure that Web Sharing is on.
Do that by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’
And then double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand side. When it asks you if you really wish to enable Internet Sharing say ‘OK’.
Now, open up AirPort Utility and edit your Time Capsule settings.
Click on the Time Capsule image and then the ‘Edit’ button in the lower right.
Go under Network and make sure the option Router Mode is ready to DHCP and NAT. Now, click on the + button under the Port Settings.
Kind in the next:
- Description: Minecraft Server (or no matter you wish to name it)
- Personal IP Handle: The handle you selected for the 4th step.
Change every little thing with the word port in it to 25565.
It should look one thing like this now.
Now hit ‘Update’ and replace the Time Capsule.
Okay. At this point you have to be good.
You've a server.
You've got a router that is aware of about your server and won’t strive to vary your IP handle.
Subsequent we're going to setup the local shopper.
