Looking for the shortest macOS setup? In this guide you will learn a clear route from install to invite using SquidServers.

Install and open SquidServers

Download the macOS build of SquidServers from the downloads page. Open it. If macOS prompts you on first open, allow the app to run. Install Java if you do not have it yet.

Create your server

Choose your server type. Create or import a world. Set RAM with the Memory Allocation slider. Name your server and pick a save folder.

Launch and invite

Launch the server and share the join link. You can host and play on the same Mac. Close heavy apps while hosting and lower simulation distance if the world feels busy.
