wrote on last edited by [email protected]What errors are you getting? Can't do much without knowing something about why it's not starting up or is crashing once running.
Tons of comments telling OP to do it differently and almost none actually offering help lol

I've always just run the server directly from the JAR in a
screen
session. If you're just running a simple server and don't need the features of Pterodactyl it's definitely the easiest option. Just download the JAR from Minecraft's website to a new directory, and run withjava -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar minecraft_server.1.21.6.jar nogui
(The page says 1 gig of RAM, but I'd recommend more if you have it available).tmux over screen

OP, you bring back memories. I had an absolute blast running my server. Now, I had mine set up on a baremetal VPS with some balls because I was running a lot of add-ons and shaders. Good luck with your project. Minecraft, to me, is a bit more than just a game when you get into the guts of it.

You'd enjoy Vintage Story. It started as the Vintage Craft mod, but it got too big for MC. Still in early access, but already a great game, with a built in modding API

good news got to work and all just one issue I am having is I can't connect to it for some reason from my PC although its all working
how do you know it's working if you can't connect?
if you run the server on your computer, did you set up the port forwarding? does it work if you just connect to localhost, or the local ip of that computer?

I'm sure I'd dig it. Alas, my seizure condition now won't let me play moving graphics games. It can/does induce a seizure, which chaps my ass something fierce because there are a lot of kick ass games I'd like to try. Those graphics on Vintage Story look very nice.

Please use a whitelist on your server! I cannot stress this enough
-
I just use docker compose to manage my mc server.
All from the terminal but works very nice.
do you use a premade compose file or did you write your own? i started out my own but it quickly got very complicated...

for testing or?

A minecraft whitelist. To prevent random people from joining and destroying your MC world.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I wrote my own but it's manageable. I use mods, resource packs, data packs and have a whitelist. I make sure to backup the compose file from time to time.
If you are having an issue managing it, let me know.

oh this was a while ago, i currently don't have a homelab. i gave up waiting for mods to update and then it slipped my mind.

Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.
I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
My son has a Nintendo switch lite does this work with it?
