Is the Paper/Purpur Anti-Xray Client Intensive?
We've had a recent influx of x-rayers and we've turned on the paper anti x-ray with engine-mode:1 as followed in the guide here: https://docs.papermc.io/paper/anti-xray Is it client intensive or server intensive to bump it up to say engine mode 2? It's fine if it's a bit server intensive as I think it can handle it but I don't want to reduce fps clientside for innocent players.

Simple way to clone or auto-replication with servers on Pterodactyl?
Is there a pterodactyl addon or a simple way to clone a server or replicate it? I'm wanting to basically generate an exact mirror copy of my current server to use as a development/test server before publishing updates to the live server and manually transferring files everytime I want to do this is getting to be a pain. Surely there's an easier way?

Is there a plugin that can make toggleable join sounds?
I'm looking for a plugin that can play a noteblock pling on join and a noteblock bass on leave, I've heard it on a few servers however after searching, I can't find the specific plugin. I would also prefer this plugin to be toggleable to users can toggle it if needed, I would also like it to maybe have a join message function so I can stray away from using the EssentialsX one.

Best way in 2024 to promote/market a Minecraft server?
In the past serverlists were all you really needed to have a decent playerbase, I've noticed that it's a lot more difficult now. Of all of the methods, which would you recommend? Sponsored slots on server lists? Content creators? Please let me know your thoughts!

Where to configure S3 backups for Pterodactyl?
All of the tutorials I find (and on their documentation) say it's in the /var/www/pterodactyl .env file and says to look for something similar 
# Sets your panel to use s3 for backups
APP_BACKUP_DRIVER=s3

# Info to actually use s3
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_BACKUPS_BUCKET=
AWS_ENDPOINT=
# Sets your panel to use s3 for backups
APP_BACKUP_DRIVER=s3

# Info to actually use s3
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_BACKUPS_BUCKET=
AWS_ENDPOINT=
however, I see nothing like this in my .env file. Do I just add these to the file? I'm confused lol.

How to point Tebex to main domain?
Hopefully you guys can help, I have a tebex store with a few pages that I’m using for the servers main site, I want to use my servers main domain (server.com) as the domain for the store, however tebex doesn’t work with CNAME flattening apparently so it’s forcing me to point it to a subdomain. Is there anyway around this? I feel like I’ve seen tebex stores on the root domains of other servers.

Is there a better way to view memory usage from Pterodactyl?
I'm running Purpur 1.20.4 and using aikars flags, with that being said, the flags are allocating almost all of the memory to the server so it shows I'm almost always maxxed. I know I can view the ACTUAL usage with spark and /memory but is there a plugin/addon/script that can make that correlate with the Pterodactyl values so I can see it live without running a command?

Having issues with MySQL databases in Pterodactyl.
I bought a dedicated server from PebbleHost and I'm making databases to connect my plugins to however none of the plugins will connect despite trying all different combinations of hosts and such. I'm almost certain everything is right. I was checking the database.php in Pterodactyl and saw this
