Which Games Does Pelican Support?
Updated
Pelican supports game servers through "eggs," and its site explicitly names Minecraft, Terraria, Palworld, Valheim, Enshrouded, and Factorio, while stating it supports "so much more." So if you're checking whether your game is covered, treat that list as confirmed examples rather than the full catalog — the authoritative, up-to-date answer lives in Pelican's eggs list.
What an "egg" is, and why it defines support
An egg is the packaged configuration that tells Pelican how to install and run a particular game server inside a Docker container. That has two practical consequences:
- Support is per-game and community-extensible. The set of supported games grows as eggs are added or updated, which is why the site says "and so much more" instead of publishing a fixed list.
- Each server runs isolated. Because every server runs in its own Docker container, adding a game doesn't mean sharing a runtime with anything else on the machine.
Confirmed games on the Pelican site
| Game | Listed on pelican.dev |
|---|---|
| Minecraft | Yes |
| Terraria | Yes |
| Palworld | Yes |
| Valheim | Yes |
| Enshrouded | Yes |
| Factorio | Yes |
| Others | "and so much more" — check the eggs list |
How to confirm support for a specific game
- Go to pelican.dev and open the eggs section (the site links to its eggs directly).
- Search for your game's name.
- If it appears, that egg is the install path — Pelican handles the container setup for you.
- If it doesn't appear, support may still arrive later via a new or updated egg, since the catalog changes over time.
What this means for your decision
- If your game is in the list above, Pelican covers it out of the box, and the one-click installation flow applies.
- If your game isn't listed, don't assume it's unsupported forever — check the eggs list, because that's the current source of truth and it evolves.
- If you run several different games, the per-container isolation means you can host them side by side on the same machine without them interfering with each other.
For anything beyond the named titles, the eggs list — not this summary — is what you should verify against before committing.
