Platform

One panel for
game, VM, and web.

Run the stack you already use from a single interface.

Game Server Management

Deploy and monitor Minecraft, Rust, and other games. Console, files, and configs in one place.

Proxmox Virtualization

Manage Proxmox nodes and VMs from FeatherPanel. Start, stop, snapshot, and check status without switching tools.

Web Hosting

Sites, domains, databases, SSL, and files alongside your game servers and VMs.

Fast and Light

Higher throughput and lower latency than Pterodactyl in independent load tests. Built to stay out of the way on busy hosts.

Plugin System

Add features with plugins. Install from the MythicalSystems marketplace or write your own with the SDK.

Security Basics Done Right

TLS 1.3, encrypted secrets, 2FA, and audit logs are included in the core panel.

Performance

Load test
results at 8 CPUs.

Independent 8-CPU load tests vs Pterodactyl, Pelican, and Hydrodactyl. Same hardware, same suite.

Why more memory?

A heavier stack, and what it buys

FeatherPanel uses more peak memory than Pterodactyl because the stack is heavier: Next.js UI, Redis queues, a Rust async-runner, IDE, and Proxmox VDS beside game hosting. That RAM covers reliable mail, background jobs, VM deployments, and higher measured throughput. Details are on the technology page.

Project History

  • MythicalNodes A Hosting Company

    It started as a business. NaysKutzu founded MythicalNodes as a game server hosting company and quickly hit the same broken tooling every small host struggles with.



  • Forking ShadowsDash

    The team forked ShadowsDash and started fixing what hurt day to day: slower UX, extra bloat, weak performance.



  • MythicalDash

    The fork became MythicalDash. Hosts used it in production and it stuck around long enough to prove the idea.



  • Core Rewrite Begins

    MythicalDash hit architecture limits. Work started on a rewrite and on MythicalCore, a small framework for the new panel.



  • FeatherPanel

    On MythicalCore, the project became FeatherPanel: one panel for game servers, VMs, and web hosting.



  • First Stable Release

    FeatherPanel v1.0 shipped with game server management, plugins, and the current UI.



  • Game, VPS, and web

    Proxmox virtualization and web hosting landed alongside game hosting.

FAQ

Common
questions.

Still need help?Join our Discordor read the docs.

What is FeatherPanel?

FeatherPanel is an open-source panel for game servers, Proxmox VMs, and web hosting. You can self-host it for free under AGPL-3.0.

Does FeatherPanel support Proxmox?

Yes. It talks to your Proxmox nodes so you can start, stop, snapshot, and configure VMs and containers from the panel.

Can I manage websites with FeatherPanel?

Yes. The web hosting module covers sites, domains, SSL, databases, and files in the same UI as your game servers and VMs.

Which game servers are supported?

Minecraft (Java and Bedrock), Rust, and more via the spell/egg system. Browse community eggs at eggs.mythicalsystems.org, or import your own templates.

Is FeatherPanel free?

Self-hosted FeatherPanel is free under AGPL-3.0 with no seat limits, no server caps, and full feature access. Cloud is optional: we host the panel on MythicalSystems hardware and you bring your nodes, billed per instance.

Can I migrate from Pterodactyl?

Enterprise plans include Pterodactyl addon portability. We also publish migration docs for the common paths.

What's the difference between Cloud and self-hosted?

Self-hosted means you run the panel on your own machines. Cloud means MythicalSystems hosts the panel on our hardware; you attach your own nodes. You get updates, monitoring, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Where do I get plugins and themes?

Browse FeatherPanel addons on the MythicalSystems marketplace. You can also build your own with the SDK.

How do I get support?

Discord for community help. Report bugs on the FeatherPanel issue form. Suggestions go to the suggestions page. Billing, cloud, and other account tickets go to my.mythicalsystems.org. Enterprise sales: [email protected].

Can I help translate FeatherPanel?

Yes. Contribute translations at translate.mythicalsystems.org.
