Nests Page

The nests page is where Eggs live, nests are a collection of eggs, sort of like a category for eggs that fit into a specific class i.e. belong to the same Game, Service, etc.

This page can be found by navigating to the Admin Dashboard, towards the very bottom of the left sidebar.

Nests Screen

Creating a New Nest (Category)​

If your egg doesn’t fit into an existing Nest, you should create a new Nest for it. The Nests page can be found in the Admin Dashboard (in the left sidebar, near the bottom).

Click the “Create New” button on the Nests page to create a new Nest. You will need to provide:

  • Name: A descriptive name for the category (for example, “Custom Games” or “Minecraft Mods”).

  • Description: (Optional) Details about what eggs in this nest are for.

Once these are filled, save the new Nest.

tip

If you have a pre-made egg (for example, from the community), you can import it instead of creating one from scratch. Use the Import Egg button on the Nests page, select the target Nest, and upload the egg’s JSON file. Check out the Community Egg Repository for a large selection of ready-to-use community eggs.

Creating a New Egg​

After you have a Nest, you can create a new Egg within that nest. To do this, navigate to the nest’s detail page, then click the New Egg button at the bottom of the page.

Create Egg

This opens the egg configuration form (the “New Egg” page). If not already selected, choose the appropriate Nest from the Associated Nest dropdown at the top of the form.

Now fill out the details for your new Egg:

Basic Details​

  • Name: The name of the Egg (e.g. “MyGame Dedicated Server”). This is how the egg will be listed in the panel.

  • Description: A short description of what this egg is or does.
