Yeah there is a special OS X

Yeah there is a special OS X file in the download, but I have no idea why you'd be using a Mac in the first place. Did you know those were made in Chinese Sweat Shops? The factories were even using Child Labor until someone found out. Not to mentions Macs are literally overpriced by several hundred dollars.

But whatever man your choice, like I said yes you can run a server on OS X from what I've heard.

Dude really. I use a mac and a pc but my pc cant even run minecraft. Also macs and pcs are made by the same manufacturer in taiwan. Windows copied off of the Mac OSX layout ideas for their design of the WIndows 7 Desktop. Go suck your windows balls. Its true!

Yup

It is true. Windows copied macs, though I like both. I have used a mac for a while now and I have had no problem with it. (I do wanna have a pc just in case there is a file a cant run or something. Ill get one when i have the money). And macs hardly ever get viruses so... I think windows are over priced

*Beats Ditherliss with a lead pipe*

Now that, that's outta the way

Goto: Applications>Utilities>Terminal

once terminal is open, type "cd" then drag the minecraft-server folder here. it should look like this without quotation marks. "cd /Users/YOURNAME/FOLDER OR DESTINATION YOUR MINECRAFT SERVER FOLDER IS/minecraft-server"

The spaces between "cd" and "/Users" are needed.

then press enter once it is typed. if you get a "-bash:" you did it wrong, just re type it.

after that. type this without quotations. "java -cp minecraft-server.jar com.mojang.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer"

then press enter, and your server is now made.

Dont forget about port forwarding. Or else your server will be useless.

Development!

I googled around and found this, which seems to be the answer to the problems.

" Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file"
this is because the code was compiled on a new version of java and u r trying to run it onthe older version of java. Please make sure that both the versoins are same.

um...

@valkyrie, I think you mean its compiled with an OLDER version of java, and running it with a new one. I've updated java to the most recent version and it doesn't work still

yeah, that's your problem, if

yeah, that's your problem, if you DOWNGRADE to a lower version of java, it might be openable.

I have found the solution to the problem

To fix the error "Bad version error in .class file"

Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Java Preferences, or just search for Java Preferences in Spotlight. Now move Java SE 6.0 to the top of both lists, and run the command to run the server and it should make the missing files, and start the server.

OR you could click Here for a complete guide to start your own minecraft server.
