=== Finding the egg ===

The following locations are commonly used to find eggs:

* https://pelican-eggs.github.io/pterodactyl/ (Option 1)

For the sake of this guide, let's suppose we wish to spin up a ''Mordhau'' server.

For the sake of this guide, let's suppose we wish to spin up a ''Mordhau'' server. On the list of ''Option 1'', we find that ''Mordhau's'' egg is said to be located at [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/refs/heads/main/mordhau/egg-pterodactyl-mordhau.json a very long URL]. Going to this URL presents a raw page with text. You are viewing a JSON file; JSON being a well-known configuration format which eggs use. The entirety of this page's contents should be saved to your computer in some fashion. The advised way is to right click on the page and select <code>Save as</code>.

=== Installing the egg ===

#Log into the panel at https://edcgaming.org.

# Click the cog icon to the left of the colored smiley face to access the administrative section of Pterodactyl.[[File:Pterodactyl admin panel icon.png|none|thumb|''The Pterodactyl panel button to get to the administrative section.'']]

# Click the <code>Nests</code> button on the following page.[[File:Pterodactyl nests panel icon.png|none|thumb|383x383px|''The Pterodactyl panel nests button in the administrative section.'']]

#You will be greeted with the following list (or similar looking list). Click <code>Import Egg</code>.[[File:Pterodactyl list of nests.png|none|thumb|820x820px|''List of Pterodactyl egg nests.'']]

#You will be shown a confirmation prompt. In this prompt, select the relevant JSON file, and ensure to set the nest to <code>Non-Default Games</code>. Then click <code>Import</code>.[[File:Pterodactyl egg import prompt.png|none|thumb|402x402px|''Pterodactyl egg importing prompt.'']]

#You should see a new page with a lot of information on it and a green prompt saying the import was successful.[[File:Pterodactyl successful egg import.png|none|thumb|361x361px|''Pterodactyl successful egg import notification.'']]
