MAC:
For IP info, type this in Terminal:
ifconfig

The start command:

#!/bin/bash
cd "`dirname "$0"`"
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui

Doesn't work? Try this:

cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar craftbukkit.jar

What to type into terminal:
chmod a+x ∆(DON'T FORGET SPACE AFTER +X!!!)∆

FAQ's!!!

Q: It says I dont have permission to access/run the start.command file. How come?
A: Type this into terminal: chmod a+x(SPACE HERE) and then drag and drop the file in.

Q: When I try to join my server, it says, "User Not Premium." Why is this?
A: It means you haven't bought the full version of Minecraft from Mojang. You have to change onlime-mode to false, not true, in the server.properties.

Q: Even when I use chmod a+x code in terminal, it still wont work? What did I do wrong?
A: Did you make the start.txt file plain text and then rename it to start.command? If not, try doing so.

Q: I can't build anything. Why?
A: In the server.properties, change Spawn-Protection: 16 to Spawn-Protection: 1. Then you just have to move a block away to build. Or you can just move 16 blocks from the spawn.

Q: I can join, but my friends can't. Why?
A: Check my video on how to portforward.

Port Forwarding Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MccgJmhoJL0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Q: It says another server is running on that port. Why is this?
A: Did you enter your IP into the server.properties correctly? And the port? Did you make start.command plain text FIRST and then enter the code?

Q: It says, "/Desktop/Bukkit/start.command ; exit;
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Incompatible initial and maximum heap sizes specified
logout." Why is this?

A: When you changed the -Xms1024 -Xmx1024 in the start.command/start.BAT, you didn't change both to the same Megabyte.

Q: It says to save as a RTF in TextEdit. Why is this?
A: You probably didn't format and make it plain text. YOU NEED TO MAKE IT PLAIN TEXT FIRST AND THEN PASTE THE CODE IN! Failure to do so will cause in terminal errors.

Q: What program do I open server.properties with?
A: TextEdit

Q: When I try joining my server, it says, "Connection Refused." Why is this?
A: Just restart your server and if that doesn't work, restart your entire computer.
