Minecraft server startup help
I have been able to download the mincraft server file. minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar version
However, I have having difficulty running it. According to the tutorial, it says to run:
-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui by saving it into a notepad, placing it in the same folder as the server, and double clicking it.
I did this by using the rich text document as I am on a Mac. No results.
So i tried running -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar. no results.
I am stuck, and not sure what to do next. anyone help please?
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who posted! By sorting out through identified problems and more tutorials, the server is up and running. Although I do need to work out some of the details, thanks again to everyone.
Best Answer
Putting it in a rich text document is not going to run it. You do have to use the full command, java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar nogui, but you need to either type it into terminal or put it in a .sh file.

You're missing the java part. You're supposed to run java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar nogui.
