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>.

If you know what you are doing, or feel confident in your server literacy, you can tinker on this page. Otherwise, you should be able to safely navigate away.
