Egg Changer

What is an "Egg"?

An "egg" is a configuration template that defines everything needed for a specific game server to be setup.

An egg contains all the necessary information for Pterodactyl to:

  • Install the server: Install scripts and commands needed to properly install and setup the server.
  • Configure startup parameters: Define the startup command and any necessary parameters for the server to run.
  • Setup the environment: Define the Docker image, configuration files and any other settings.
