How do I set up a tekkit server on Mac?

[tinyhoops]

There's tutorials all over the place but they're all for windows. Can someone help me set it up?

[niels22]

go on microsoft.com and buy a windows 7 :D

[ampayne2]

If you have java 7 im sure its the same setup. But i have a windows lol

[tigerbomb8]

if you give me an hour or two i can type out some instructions

okay

1. you will want to download and install java 7 from here

2. download the tekkit server files

3. extract the server files where ever you want it

4. open text edit and paste this in a new document

#!/bin/bash

cd "$(dirname "$0")"

exec java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar

5. press SHIFT + CMD + T  to make the document plain text

6. save it in the server folder you made earlier as launch.command

7. open terminal and type

chmod a+x 

(make sure you have a space after a+x before dragging in file

8. drag the launch file in to the terminal window and hit enter

9. press CMD + SPACE to open spotlight then type java preferences and hit enter

10. drag Java 7 to the top of the list

11. double click the launch.command file to start server

if all goes well you should now have a minecraft server on you mac

let e know if you have any troubles

PLEASE NOTE: if you want to play tekkit on the same mac you need to start the server then drag Java 7 to the bottom of the list so you can start the tecnic launcher

[ajallan246]

Yes, ive done that. but whats the ip and how do i find it?

[iornman504]

sounds great, but how do i get on, i tried and it says unknown host

[nmanley]

If this 11. double click the launch.command file to start server worked it should be the "localhost" typed in direct connect selection of multiplayer in game.

[iornman504]

ok i tried that, but my connection was refused, is there a whitelist somewhere in the tekkit files?

[nmanley]

There is white list but they are not active by default. Even the "ops" can be left blank but I always add my IGN to that.

Here's what my server screen looks like after starting the server but not logged in.

And here is after I login to localhost.

[iornman504]

Thank you for that information, but it seems that upon closer examination of the terminal window that my computer had failed to open the nether ores mod and therefore I cannot get on. Thoughts?

[nmanley]

Re-download the launcher again, delete all the files created so far and start over. Something might be corrupt in the 1st install. I don't have a Mac but maybe someone else with one will chime in.

[Fiestaguy]

there is a file where all the mods for tekkit are listed in .jar files

delete: netherores.jar

and then restart the server, now it should work

the IP:

its recommended to download and install

logmeinhamachi

then make ur own hamachi group and people can use the IP listed on ur hamachi window

also you can use start.command too instead of launch.command ._. just saying

hope it helps :P

[The Jakester]

I did all that, but now it says "End of Stream". What does this mean and how do i fix it?

[cutcontrol]

save it in the server folder you made earlier as launch.command

You are supposed to save the txt as launch.command
