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.jar nogui

If you receive the "java is not recognized" message, replace "java" with its file location. (example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe") The full string would be: ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar forge-1.7.2-10.12.2.1121-universal.jar nogui pause] (no brackets)
