I used to run minecraft servers in 14.04 by either clicking the .sh file, and selecting run in terminal, or running the .jar file. I'm on 18.04 now, and I can't run the .sh file at all. Double clicking immediately opens up text editor, and dragging it to a terminal also opens the text editor. Trying to open the server.jar gives me a small window for half a second, which immediately closes. Has something changed, and does anyone know how to run .sh files now?

Have you allowed the file to be executed? Try to go to properties and find a checkbox with allow executable, check it. Try executing. This is the graphical way.
For terminal, just drag and drop in a terminal window and add ./ before it (for example: ./install.sh).
