    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 with java -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).

        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

          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...

                        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.

                              Spend $5 and buy AMP. You can run it in Windows and Docker.

                                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
