big dig server on a mac

[mgiardina1503]

Does anyone know if you can make a big dig sever on a mac.. and if so how do you do it. Ive made a normal mine craft server before so i know the basics but struggling with the big dig. if anyone can help that would be great.

[dwwojcik]

Yes.

Download the big dig server and run launch.sh.

[mgiardina1503]

When I try that i just get java-xm3g-xms2g -jar Bigdig.jar nogui message. Any clue what to do?

[dwwojcik]

So when you start the server you get

java-xm3g-xms2g -jar Bigdig.jar nogui

like normal but something goes wrong? I'm no expert but if you post everything that shows up in the console I may be able to help.

#!/bin/sh

java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar BigDig.jar nogui

thats all i get when i open the launcher

Ahh, I was wrong. Launch.sh must be for Linux or something. This is what you have to do:

Mac OS X instructions

Setting a server up in Mac OS X is "more involved" than in Windows because an executable file has not been made available. A three step in-depth video tutorial of the process can be seen here. Keep in mind that the server won't run correctly on OSX 10.4 and may crash your machine.

Setting up the Minecraft server

Ensure you have followed the download step before proceeding.

• Create a folder, if you haven't already, and put minecraft_server.jar into it. For example, create a folder on the Desktop named minecraft_server and drag the jar file into it.
  
• Open TextEdit, set the format to plain text (Format > Make Plain Text), copy and paste in the following:
  

#!/bin/bash

cd "$(dirname "$0")"

exec java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar BigDig.jar

• Save the file as "start.command" in the same folderas minecraft_server.jar.
  
  • This will give the server enough RAM to run. The amount of RAM can be changed by editing the 1G to something else, such as 2G for 2 GB.
    

  [*]Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal).

  [*]Grant execute permissions on file start.command to Owner, Group. and Public. To do so, type in chmod a+x , with a space after it; drag and drop the start.command file into the terminal window; and then press enter. (This gives run permission to the start.command script.)

  [*]Double-click the start.command file to start the server.

  [*]A new Terminal window will open and, the first time you run the script, several error messages about missing files/directories will appear. This is normal. You're now ready to configure your server.

I did this and just makes a normal server without the big dig mods. i got a lot of these messages when i opened the command start.

Moved from Big Dig Servers, which this isn't, to a place where you're more likely to get a coherent answer.
