Hydrodactyl is a modern, performance-focused game server management panel forked from Pterodactyl. It delivers smaller bundles, faster builds, and an accessible, reimagined interface.
- Not compatible with Blueprint extensions — this is an all-in-one solution.
- Pre-release software. Some UI elements may appear broken and bugs may exist.
- Logo customization is experimental and subject to change.
- Read the docs at hydrodactyl.dev before installing.
Built by the maintainer of the original Pyrodactyl project and funded by Blueprint.
