Velocity Plugin PterodactylPowerAction

PterodactylPowerAction, server power control

PterodactylPowerAction is a Velocity plugin for Minecraft Java Edition that connects a proxy to Pterodactyl servers. It monitors player activity, starts a Minecraft server when someone tries to join, and stops it after a configurable period without players. This reduces resource use and helps lower energy costs.

If the destination is offline or still starting, the plugin redirects players to a waiting server, such as a Limbo lobby, then transfers them automatically when ready. It supports the Pterodactyl client API or shell commands, adjustable delays, and connection checks. At BoxToPlay, we value tools that keep every Minecraft server efficient and accessible.
