I've seen many videos about starting mac servers with more RAM, most of them involve going to the terminal and pasting java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar into it. This worked for a while but it began to lag again after a while. Is there a different way to get more RAM on a mac server? Thanks.

I think u have to replace 1024 with 2048(2 GB), to get more ram. Hope this works.

Part of your original post bolded for emphasis.

So as the person suggested you would change this part to:
java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar minecraft_server.jar

However you need the have enough ram in your mac to devote that much to minecraft. If you have 4GB of ram then devoting 2GB to your minecraft server is feasible. You need to leave some ram for your system to use.
