How to Install Piqueserver on macOS

Piqueserver is an open-source Minecraft server that allows you to create and run your own Minecraft server. Here's how to install it on macOS:

Step 1: Install Python

Piqueserver requires Python to be installed on your system. If you don't have Python installed, download the latest version of Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Step 2: Install Piqueserver

To install Piqueserver, follow these steps:

  1. Open Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
  2. Type git clone https://github.com/piqueserver/piqueserver.git to download the latest version of Piqueserver.
  3. Change to the Piqueserver directory by typing cd piqueserver.
  4. Now, run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the necessary Python packages.
  5. Finally, run python3 piqueserver.py to start the server.

Step 3: Configure Piqueserver

By default, Piqueserver uses the port 25565. If you want to change the port, open config.xml with a text editor and change the port attribute to the desired port number. You can also modify other settings in this file.

Step 4: Connect to the Server

To connect to the Piqueserver, open Minecraft and click on "Multiplayer" and then "Add Server". Enter the server name and IP address (which will be your local IP address if you’re playing with friends) and click "Done". Then, select the server and click "Join Server."

That's it! You should now have your own Minecraft server up and running on your macOS machine.
