Hey everyone. I wanted to share a script I came up with that allows you to install the latest minecraftforge release into a minecraft_server.jar file extremely easy on OSX Mac systems.
All that is required is:
create a folder on your desktop named temp
Go inside that folder and place a clean minecraft_server.jar and any release of Forge that you would like installed.
Next, open up Textedit and paste the following code into it:
#!/bin/bash
cd $home
cd Desktop
cd temp
mkdir mctemp
cd mctemp
jar xfv ../minecraftforge*.zip
rm -rf META-INF
jar ufv ../minecraft_server.jar *
cd ..
rm -rf mctemp
Save the file as a plain text file and name it something like "Forge_Installer.command" inside the same Desktop/temp/ folder.
You will most likely need to give this file executable permissions so next you will need to open up terminal and run the following commands:
cd $home
cd Desktop
cd temp
chmod a+x Forge_Installer.command (or whatever you named your script file)
This only needs to be done once and when it is completed you can use this script file over and over on future releases of forge.
Close terminal and make your way to your destkop and then the temp folder.
Make sure you have a clean minecraft_server.jar and whatever version of forge.zip that you want installed.
Double click on your Forge_Install.command file and it should automatically run everything you need.
When the process is complete you will have an updated minecraft_server.jar ready to use.

Any Mac friends having trouble installing forge on your minecraft_server.jar files? Check out my script that lets you do it easily with one simple click! For more info look here http://www.minecraft...-click-install/
This is NOT a good idea. It may work, but it's not a good idea.
Try something like:
1. Copy the minecraft server jar file into the current directory (Where you want the server to live)
2. java -jar minecraftforge-installer-1.6.4-9.11.1.938.jar --installServer
That command will set up a forge server in the current directory.
3. java -jar minecraftforge-universal-1.6.4-9.11.1.938.jar
That will run forge, and forge will call the minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar file.
Result: No changes to any jar file; no change to any manefest / signatures. All work fine, un-modified.
EDIT: Sorry, I did not see the date on this OP. What I describe here works, and works fine, for 162 / 164. Even if you have java 6 on your mac, and the forge installer GUI does not work on java 6.
(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?
