**How to Install**

Following these steps you should be able to install your setup on a Pterodactyl 1.20.1 server without any problems.

### Prerequisites&#x20;

* Server with Pterodactyl installed: Make sure you have access to a server with Pterodactyl already installed and configured.&#x20;
* Minecraft configuration ZIP file: Make sure you have the ZIP file that contains all the necessary files for the Minecraft server configuration.

### Installation Steps

* **Access to Pterodactyl**:\
  &#x20;Login to the Pterodactyl control panel.
* **Create a new server**:\
  Go to the "Servers" section and create a new server. \
  Fill in the necessary details such as server name, port, amount of memory, etc. \
  Select "Minecraft" as the server type and make sure it is configured for version 1.20.1.
* **Upload the ZIP file:**\
  Once the server is created, go to the "Files" tab in the Pterodactyl panel. \
  Use the "Upload" option to upload the Minecraft setup ZIP file.
* **Unzip the ZIP file:**\
  After uploading the ZIP file, select the file in the Pterodactyl file explorer. \
  Use the "Unarchive" option to unzip the ZIP file. This should extract all the files and folders needed for the server setup.
* **Add premium dependencies:**\
  Inside the ZIP file there is a file called "README" where the setup dependencies are listed. Once you have located the list, you must add them to the plugins folder.
* **Start the Server:**\
  Go back to your server control panel in Pterodactyl. \
  In the "Console" tab, click on the "Start" button to start the server.
* **Verify Operation:**\
  Monitor the console to make sure the server starts correctly without errors. \
  Connect to the server from your Minecraft client to verify that everything is working as expected.
