Using the Game Control Panel

Your game server is managed through the Pterodactyl control panel, accessible directly from your NoobHost dashboard.

Console

The console tab gives you real-time access to your server's command line. You can:

  • View live server output
  • Send commands directly
  • Monitor player connections

    • File Manager

    Browse, edit, upload, and delete files on your game server. This is useful for:

  • Editing configuration files
  • Uploading custom maps or worlds
  • Managing mod files
  • Viewing log files

    • SFTP

    For bulk file transfers, use SFTP with the credentials shown in your panel. Any SFTP client works (FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck).

    Schedules

    Set up automated tasks:

  • Scheduled restarts
  • Automated backups
  • Custom commands on a timer

    • Settings

    Adjust startup parameters, change Java version (Minecraft), modify server ports, and configure resource limits.

    Activity Log

    View a complete history of actions taken on your server, including restarts, file changes, and command execution.
