Setting up a Minecraft Forge server
In this tutorial you will learn how to successfully setup a Minecraft Forge server for versions of Minecraft prior to 1.6.

This tutorial is intended for Windows users, but may be of some use to users who use other operating systems (Mac, Linux )

Information

 * Latest Minecraft Server
 * Minecraft Forge 1.5.2
 * Minecraft Forge 1.5.1
 * Minecraft Forge 1.5
 * Minecraft Forge 1.4.7
 * Minecraft Forge website
 * Server start text: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

Notice
If the server start text doesn't work then try renaming the minecraft_server to 'minecraft_server.jar' without the apostrophes. Or you could use this server start text instead : java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.zip nogui
