How to create a Minecraft Forge Server with mods on a Mac & play with friends (detailed walkthrough)
This is a detailed walkthrough for how to create your own Minecraft Forge server for mods on a Mac. This tutorial will work for almost any version of Minecraft as long as you download the correct "forgeserver.jar". In this video, we will cover only how to create the Server properly, but also some of the reasons for why it doesn’t work. Some of the time your problems can easily be fixed with a quick google search but if anything arises that cannot be fixed that easily please leave a comment and hopefully, we can get back to you! If anything doesn't work for you there is a checklist later in the description of things to check and try. I was just trying to cover as much as I could in the best and shortest way. I hope this helped you :3

"start.command" text:
4 players (recommend for low ram usage / low spec players)
1GB Ram:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar server.jar nogui
8 players
2GB Ram:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar server.jar nogui
24+ players
4GB Ram:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar server.jar nogui
48+ players
8GB Ram:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xmx8G -Xms8G -jar server.jar nogui
(Ps. To change the Ram amounts yourself and customize them all you have to do is change the two reoccurring numbers in the text. Ex. "-Xmx8G -Xms8G" is an 8GB server and "-Xmx4G -Xms4G" is a 4GB server)
If your either confused or don't know what to choose ram-wise, I'd stick with the first option (1GB) for starters. If you would like to learn more about Ram and what it does I would start by watching this video: • How Much RAM Do You ACTUALLY Need? (2... or just looking it up.

Things to check if your server does not work:
1. Make sure you're playing on the same version of FORGE Minecraft as your server and each other
2. Make sure the TextEdit document is formatted
3. If your "start.command" keeps saying "[Process completed]" try just running the "server.jar", use it in the same way that you would the "start.command" (it's just not as convenient).
4. Check that you have Java installed, if not you can do so by downloading it here: https://www.java.com/en/download/
