Research direction
Examine the existing server types (e.g., Purpur) in the scripts/ directory, specifically start configuration and start finalExec. Look for how the server type is fetched and configured. Add Petal server as a new entry in the server type mapping, ensuring it is downloaded from the provided GitHub URL and uses the appropriate version checks. The issue is straightforward but requires understanding the existing pattern.
