These directions are primarily based on the official mac directions at minecraft site.
In the event you don’t want much help, go there. But if you want footage, start right here.
This is the first part of a three half tutorial:
- Half 1: Setup Server
- Half 2: Setup Local Shopper
- Part 3: Setup Internet Shopper
Half 1: Setup Server
Obtain the minecraft server jar file.
Create a listing referred to as ‘server’ and drag the jar file in there.
Make a command file
To make it simple 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). kd76
Set the format to plain textual content.
Copy in the following text.
Ensure 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 identical 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 beginning.command file into the terminal window after which press enter.
Double click on the beginning server to start the server.
If all works a new server window will open and you will notice a number of errors about lacking recordsdata and directories - don’t fear this is ok.
Congrats! You’ve setup the server. Subsequent we're going to configure Time Capsule so your server runs for everybody in your community.
Should you ran into issues, test 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 name on disk.
Repair this by opening the start.command file
and changing the filename to be correct (be sure to get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.4 included within the file title).
Rich-text-format error
In case your text file retains wanting to rename itself begin.rtf, it’s because you haven’t made the textual content file ‘plain text format’. Go over the directions once more above, and make this file plain text format.
Configure Time Capsule
Before any shoppers can connect to our server, we have to configure Time Capsule to keep a static local IP handle, and tell it what port quantity our server is going to be working on.
You may need your mom or dad for this step (because it would require Time Capsule password).
Open System Preferences > Community
Click the superior button within the decrease right hand nook. And then the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.
The place it says Configure IPv4, change that option to ‘Using DHCP with manual address’.
Change the IP handle to 10.0.1.x, the place x will be any quantity from 1 to 100.
Word the deal with you kind right here: 10.0.1.x. You're going to want it later once we setup the Airport Utility
Hit Ok and go back to ‘System Preferences.
You might have to avoid wasting your modifications before leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Okay.
Now go to the ‘Sharing’ part of System Preferences and make sure that Internet Sharing is on.
Do this by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’
After which double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand side. When it asks you if you really wish to enable 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 right.
Go beneath Network and make sure the choice Router Mode is ready to DHCP and NAT. Now, click the + button underneath the Port Settings.
Kind in the following:
- Description: Minecraft Server (or whatever you need to name it)
- Private IP Address: The handle you selected for the 4th step.
Change all the pieces with the phrase port in it to 25565.
It should look one thing like this now.
Now hit ‘Update’ and update the Time Capsule.
Ok. At this level you should be good.
You will have a server.
You have a router that knows about your server and won’t strive to change your IP handle.
Next we are going to setup the local consumer.
After which after that the internet consumer.
