How To Utilize ServerJars Auto Update With Pterodactyl Egg!

[iByteGamingKyle]

After an incredible amount of research and digging, I couldn't find ANYWHERE on the internet of all things, without having to spend money for a add-on for ptero that would be out of date / poorly supported that would allow users to change some variables in the panel, which in turn allows them to get the server type they want!

I have been painstakingly attempting to get serverjars-auto updater to work, and I got it to where it works very well, but some issues such as purper and forge not downloading the 1.20.4 version, even though the API shows it is currently happening

Here is a couple screenshots of an example

This would possibly be able to replace ALL other ways of downloading anything for clients/users! The server-jars auto updater is great and works very well, but there are a couple hiccups that will hopefully be cranked out, I'd also love to see more jars and more actively updated version of jars since paper 1.20+ has been out for a while, but it isn't listed

I'm also attaching the egg for anyone wanting to test it currently

here is a snippet of the config for anyone curios
