I managed to get a server working on Sky Factory 2.4 with a friend so I know the networking/port forwarding is working but since downloading Sky Factory 3 (through Twitch App), I can't get the new server to work.

I'm running latest version of Sky Factory (3.0.13) and downloaded the server files from here:

When I run the 'ServerStart.command' I get the following in Terminal:

Any help is much appreciated! I'm not very technical but managed to get this far using Google & YouTube!

You need to update your java. The pack will not run on java 6. I'm not a Mac person so I can't give you detailed instructions. But I suggest you remove the java 6 and installed the latest version of java 8.
Code:
[20:23:56] [main/INFO] [FML]: Java is Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.6.0_65, running on Mac OS X:x86_64:10.11.6, installed at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Thanks Henry! I was sat staring at the log while i waited for the post to get moderated and saw that 1.6 in there which I thought was strange as I'd already updated my Java through System Preferences. After some digging I found out that this was only updating Java for browsers and my system was still running 1.6. Someone pointed me to a download of 1.8 that would install to system and it worked!
