Vanilla Minecraft version specification limitations

Author: V1nc3ntWasTakenCreated Aug 28, 2026Updated Aug 28, 2026

Current Behavior

Currently, the Pterodactyl Panel ships with the seeded Vanilla Minecraft egg in the Minecraft nest. Currently, the VANILLA_VERSION variable has input rules of required|string|between:3,15.

Since Minecraft version 26, snapshot versions began using the format of {MAJOR}.{MINOR}-snapshot-{SNAPSHOT NUMBER}. In certain scenarios, trying to select an existent snapshot version will not work due to it exceeding the length of 15 characters. An example of this is the latest Minecraft snapshot available with version 26.3-snapshot-10 which sits at 16 characters.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that specifying a snapshot version, such as 26.3-snapshot-10, should be allowed.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new Vanilla Minecraft server under the Minecraft egg and specify an example version: 26.3-snapshot-10 under the VANILLA_VERSION variable.
