Title: instant minecraft server
Post by: GMG Kurt on April 14, 2012, 03:32:25 PM

so yeh a bud of mine wanted me to send him the plugins for a minecraft server, and a world. So basically he wanted the entire memory bulk of mc, and over skype nonetheless.

so I modified my earlier GM instadownload command for GameHub (which never really took off) into this. I hope you enjoy it

USAGE:
1.) put file into desktop
2.) type 'cd ~/Desktop' into the command line (without quotations)
3.) type 'chmod +x server.command'
4.) then type './server.command' in and watch my batch fly solo, create, and then start up an awesome server

NOTE: now you can start your server by mearly typing 'server' into your command line.

FAQ
1.) I don't know what a command line is
-the command line is a text based interface to use your computer, and it used to be the only way to use it. on a mac you can use either Terminal or X11. which are applications inside the utilities folder in your applications folder

2.) I can't find terminal
-please consult google

3.) what about CMD
-that is the pc command line

4.) I can't use this on my pc
-thats cause it's mac only, I'll make it for pc later.

5.) why does this minecraft world suck
-it doesn't you do

EDIT: please notice how small the file is, and how big it becomes

I just tried to run this and.. Here's what I entered and what it said:

Theresas-iMac:Desktop mcharneys$ ./server.command
-bash: ./server.command: Permission denied

Double clicking the file itself bring up an error - "...you do not have appropriate access privileges".

Yeah, the link in the batch script is dead.

To set up the server you need to get the minecraft aerver bukkit jar.

huh thats weird  ???
it did it to me too. I'll find a way to permanently do that, but I'll just add another step to the directions to circumvent that. (edited at the top)

EDIT: also you should get logmein hamachi if your computer isn't already port-forwarded and don't know how to do it
