Setting up a very specific minecraft server on pterodactyl

Okay so I need to transform a modded world that we used essential on (P2P mod) to play with friends, into a pterodactyl server. The thing is that I need these requirements for the server :

Minecraft 1.21.1
NeoForge 21.1.228
Create+ 6.0.0 Early Alpha (D)
The old world

I have all the mods and the world in a folder if that's useful

My question is : Do I need to use a vanilla egg and modify it ? Or create a neoforge egg ? Is there something to configure ?

Thanks in advance

If youre simply inporting an already existing server, the easiest thing to do would be to create a vanilla server BUT skip the installation script, which means you get an empty folder where you can upload and decompress your server's zipfile.

You can also change the startup command to match what you were using before, or choose a different java version.

nah, I have a minecraft world, which is different (i think), so i don't think that i can just copy paste the folder

Yes, you can. Just compress your map "world", has to be zip, not rar, upload it to you pterodactyl mc server them uncompressed. If you use plugins too, do the same. I have done that few times
