How to create a configurable option

In this guide we'll create a configurable option for a Pterodactyl server. The configurable option will allow the client to select the type of server they want to order.

Now we need to provide a propperty that we want to change. In the example, we have chosen for egg For a full list of names checkout the Pterodactyl guide

Step 2: Making Inputs

Now we need to create the inputs for the configurable option. Click on Options. In the example, we want an option for Paper. Click on Add Option and fill in the form. The Name variable is once again what is shown to your client upon reaching the configurable options window! The Environment Variable is used to overwrite server setting variables, in this case, the egg id.
