Pterodactyl has ceased operations with Blueprint following community backlash over actions by Pterodactyl's parent company. We are disappointed that this is the course of action their team chose to persue. Updates to our Pterodactyl modding platform will therefore be limited to security releases solely compatible with Pterodactyl v1.
Blueprint as a nonprofit organization, however, is far from over. We're going to continue building awesome open-source tools for homelabbers and hosting providers: One of which is Hydrodactyl, the Pterodactyl-fork built and funded by Blueprint. We're also launching some brand new projects in the coming months, so stay tuned!
Join the conversation in our Discord community and follow us on Bluesky for the latest updates.
