How to Add Additional Ports

Game Panel Guide · 50 views · Updated 4 hours ago

When Do You Need Additional Ports?

You may need extra ports for:

  • Simple Voice Chat mod — Requires a separate UDP port
  • DynMap — Requires a separate port for the web map
  • GeyserMC — May need a separate Bedrock port
  • Other plugins/mods that listen on their own ports

How to Add a Port

You can allocate additional ports yourself directly from the game panel:

  1. Log into your Pterodactyl game panel
  2. Select your server
  3. Go to the Network tab
  4. Click Create Allocation to add a new port
  5. The new port will be assigned automatically

Port Limit

Each server can have up to 3 port allocations by default (including your primary port). If you need more than 3, open a Technical Support ticket and we'll increase your allocation limit.

After Adding a Port

  1. Note the port number shown in the Network tab
  2. Configure your mod or plugin to use that port number
  3. Restart your server
