Editing Tutorials/Setting up a server (section)

== macOS instructions ==
Keep in mind that the server won't run correctly on macOS 10.4 and earlier and may crash your machine.

=== Installing Java ===
Open the terminal.

* Check if you have java by running <code>java -version</code>. Make sure it's newer than 1.6 (best if newer than 1.8), for most versions, or java 17+ on 1.17 & 1.18.

* If you don't have java, you can install it via HomeBrew:
** Run <code>/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"</code> to install HomeBrew first.
** Run <code>brew install openjdk</code> to install java (OpenJDK).
* Run <code>java -version</code> again. You should get something this time.

=== Setting up the Minecraft server ===

See the [[#Common instructions|Common instructions]].

=== Using Time Capsule ===
{{msgbox|title=Contents in this section are disputed.|text=This section should definitely not be in this part (it fits better under [[#IP address notes]]), but then it probably also does not belong under this article. We are not adding instructions for TP-link, D-link, Linksys and all other brands, so why single out AirPort specifically?|class=msgbox-magenta}}
Some homes use AirPort Time Capsule as a wireless router instead of other brands. This section will teach you how to set one up without messing up your file server. 

'''NOTE: Make sure you have your admin username and password.'''

*Open System Preferences > Network.
*Click the Advanced button and go under TCP/IP.
*Where it says Configure IPv4, change that option to Using DHCP with manual address.
*Change the IP address to 10.0.1.x, where x is a number between the last number of the two numbers under DHCP range (i.e. 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.254 would be anywhere between 2 and 254).
*Now go to the Sharing section and make sure that Internet Sharing is on. 
*Now, open up AirPort Utility and edit your Time Capsule settings. 
*Go under Network and make sure the option Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT. Now, click the + button under the Port Settings.
*Type in the following:
**Description: Minecraft Server (or whatever you want to call it)
**Private IP Address: The address you chose for the 4th step.
*Change everything with the word port in it to 25565.
*Now, hit Save and update the Time Capsule.
That's it! You're now ready to [[Setting up a server#Configuring the Minecraft Server|configure your server]].
