Startup Editor v2.2.7
Lets users edit their server's startup command, with admin guardrails.
Compatibility
- Pterodactyl v1.14.x support. The installer's panel-version check now accepts 1.14.x, so it no longer warns (or refuses under strict mode) on the latest panels. v1.14.0 and v1.14.1 leave the startup screen untouched, so the bundled editor applies cleanly. Supported range is now v1.12.x through v1.14.x, both editions.
Comes in Blueprint and standalone versions.
Startup Editor v2.2.5
Lets users edit their server's startup command, with admin guardrails.
New
- Reset button. A red Reset sits to the right of the preset dropdown on the startup page. One click puts the startup command back to the egg's default.
- It ignores your restrictions on purpose. The reset always goes through even on nodes where the memory flags (
-Xms/-Xmx) are locked or pattern security is on, because the egg default is your own trusted command. Editing is still gated by the normalstartup.updatepermission.- It restores the real template, not a flattened copy. The egg's raw command (with
{{SERVER_MEMORY}}and the like) is written back, so memory and variable changes keep resolving on their own afterwards.- Uses the panel's native button styling and a built-in icon, so your custom theme's colors apply automatically.
Fixed
- The editor now shows and saves the real startup template. Previously it loaded the fully-resolved command, so the first edit baked the current memory/IP/port values (and a literal
[hidden]for hidden variables) permanently into the command. It now edits the raw template with{{VARIABLE}}placeholders intact, so values keep resolving on their own.- Reverting the box back to the original command now saves correctly instead of silently doing nothing.
- The Reset button now returns a clean error instead of a server error when an egg has no default startup command.
- The built-in
sudoblocked-pattern can now actually be toggled off in the admin panel.- Uninstalling cleanly removes the addon's routes (a leftover reference could previously break the client API).
- Hardened the admin presets view against HTML-breakout in preset text.
Comes in Blueprint and standalone versions.
Startup Editor v2.2.3
Lets users edit their server's startup command, with admin guardrails.
Compatibility
- Now installs on Pterodactyl Panel v1.13.x (tested through v1.13.0). The installer's supported-version check accepts 1.12.x and 1.13.x; the bundled startup-page component is unchanged by v1.13.0, so it applies cleanly.
What it does
- Edit the whole startup command from the panel, not just the variables.
- Admin-defined presets (name, description, command) with variable placeholder resolution.
- Lock the memory flags (
-Xms/-Xmx) on a per-node basis.- Block risky commands using built-in and custom patterns, set per node.
- Saves automatically as you type.
Comes in Blueprint and standalone versions.
Startup Editor v2.2.2
Lets users edit their server's startup command, with admin guardrails.
New
- Preset selector in the server console. Users see a "Load a preset..." dropdown next to the startup command editor. Picking a preset loads it directly into the field.
- Presets resolve variables. When a preset is loaded, any
{{VARIABLE}}placeholders in the command are replaced with the server's actual configured values, so the command is ready to use, not full of literals.- Save status indicator. A green "Saved" label appears next to the startup command header immediately after each autosave, so users know the change went through.
- Admin page redesign. Four light-theme tabs (Dashboard, Memory Flags, Pattern Security, Presets) instead of one long dark form. The dashboard tells you which restrictions are active and how many nodes each one covers at a glance.
- Preset edit button. A yellow pencil next to each preset opens it back in the form for editing instead of forcing you to delete-and-readd.
- Drag to reorder presets. Grab the handle on the left of any preset and drop it where you want it.
- Website link button in the admin page header, matching the other srvl Labs addons.
What it does
- Edit the whole startup command from the panel, not just the variables.

Startup Editor Changelog — both Blueprint and Standalone
Fixes
- Editing the startup command while the panel is open in another tab (or after the window loses
and regains focus) no longer wipes your work. Previously, a background refresh could overwrite the
command you were mid-typing with whatever was last saved on the server. The editor now only
adopts a server-side change if you haven't started editing yourself.
Startup Editor v2.1.0
Lets users edit their server's startup command, with admin guardrails.
New
- Startup presets. Set up common startup commands in the admin panel and users pick them from a dropdown on the Startup page.
- Presets fill in variables like
{{SERVER_MEMORY}}with the server's real values when they're loaded, so the user doesn't have to.- The save status (Saving, Saved, or an error) now sits in the Startup Command header instead of floating around the page.
Fixed
- The memory lock used to block every edit, even ones that didn't touch the memory flags at all. Now it only kicks in if you actually change
-Xmsor-Xmx.- Cut the restriction message down so it isn't a whole paragraph.

Startup Editor Refinement
What Changed
A series of improvements to enhance the user experience, styling, and stability of the Startup Editor extension. The editor now feels more native and behaves more intuitively.
Key Points
- Auto-Expanding Editor: The startup command box now automatically expands as you type, providing ample space for long commands while starting with a comfortable minimum height (~6 lines).
- Native Theme Support: The editor now fully inherits your panel's theme styling (colors, borders, focus states) instead of using hardcoded styles, ensuring perfect integration with custom themes.
- Stability Fixes: Resolved a runtime error that occurred when saving changes, ensuring smooth and reliable saves.
- Admin Panel Fixes: Fixed an issue preventing the Admin Settings page from loading correctly.
- Version Parity: Synchronized behavior between Standalone and Blueprint versions so both offer the same polished experience.
