These directions are based mostly on the official mac directions at minecraft site.
In case you don’t want much help, go there. But if you like footage, begin here.
That is the primary a part of a 3 part tutorial:
- Half 1: Setup Server
- Half 2: Setup Local Shopper
- Part 3: Setup Web Shopper
Part 1: Setup Server
Obtain the minecraft server jar file.
Create a listing called ‘server’ and drag the jar file in there.
Make a command file
To make it simple to start out your server, we are going to create a ‘start.command’ file. Double clicking this file will launch your server.
Open TextEdit (/Purposes/TextEdit).
Set the format to plain textual content.
Copy in the following textual content.
Make certain to vary the minecraft_server.jar to match the name of the jar in the listing (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 (/Applications/Terminal) and typing
chmod a+x
with an area after it. Drag and drop the beginning.command file into the terminal window and then press enter.
Double click the beginning server to start out the server.
If all works a new server window will open and you will note a number of 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 everybody in your network.
In case you ran into problems, examine this troubleshooting section for fixes.
Troubleshooting server setup
Unable to access jarfile error
If you got ‘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.
Fix this by opening the beginning.command file
and changing the filename to be right (be sure to get the numbers, in my case, 1.7.Four included in the file identify).
Rich-text-format error
If your text file keeps desirous to rename itself start.rtf, it’s since you haven’t made the textual content file ‘plain text format’. Minecraft servers 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 maintain a static local IP handle, and tell it what port number our server goes to be operating on.
You may need your mother or dad for this step (because it would require Time Capsule password).
Open System Preferences > Community
Click on the advanced button within the decrease proper hand nook. After which the ‘TCP/IP’ tab.
The place it says Configure IPv4, change that option to ‘Using DHCP with guide address’.
Change the IP address to 10.0.1.x, where x can be any quantity from 1 to 100.
Be aware the handle you type right here: 10.0.1.x. You are going to need it later once we setup the Airport Utility
Hit Okay and return to ‘System Preferences.
You might have to save your changes before leaving the ‘Network’ preferences first. That’s Ok.
Now go to the ‘Sharing’ section of System Preferences and guantee that Web Sharing is on.
Do this by first clicking on ‘USB Ethernet’
And then double clicking ‘Internet Sharing’ on the left hand side. When it asks you if you actually want 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 set to DHCP and NAT. Now, click the + button underneath the Port Settings.
Type in the following:
- Description: Minecraft Server (or whatever you want to call it)
- Personal IP Address: The tackle you chose for the 4th step.
Change every little thing with the phrase port in it to 25565.
It should look something like this now.
Now hit ‘Update’ and update the Time Capsule.
Okay. At this point you need to be good.
You've a server.
You have a router that is aware of about your server and won’t attempt to alter your IP deal with.
Next we're going to setup the native client.
After which after that the web shopper.
