A server icon is the small image that appears next to your server in a player's multiplayer list in Minecraft. Setting one is a nice touch that helps your server stand out and feel more polished.
Requirements
Your server icon must meet these requirements:
- Format - PNG
- Size - exactly 64x64 pixels
- Filename -
server-icon.png(all lowercase, exactly as shown)
If the image is not 64x64 pixels or is not saved as a PNG, it will not show up in game.
Creating Your Icon
You can use any image editing software to create or resize an image to 64x64 pixels, such as:
- Photopea (free, runs in your browser)
- Paint.NET (free, Windows)
- GIMP (free, all platforms)
- Photoshop
When saving, make sure to export as PNG and set the dimensions to exactly 64x64 pixels.
Tip: Use an image with clear details and good contrast. Since it will be shown at a small size, anything too detailed or low contrast may look muddy.
Uploading Your Icon
- Log in to the Game Panel
- Select your server
- In the left menu, click Core then Files
- Make sure you are in the root directory of your server (the same folder that contains
server.properties) - Click Upload and select your
server-icon.pngfile - Restart your server
Once the server restarts, your icon should appear next to your server in the multiplayer list for anyone who has added it.
Troubleshooting
Icon Not Showing Up
- Make sure the file is named exactly
server-icon.png- it must be all lowercase and spelled correctly - Make sure the file is in your server's root directory, not inside a subfolder
- Verify the image is exactly 64x64 pixels and saved as a PNG
- Players may need to remove and re-add your server in their multiplayer list for the new icon to show
- Make sure you have restarted the server after uploading the icon
Icon Looks Blurry or Stretched
This usually means the image is not actually 64x64 pixels. Open it in an image editor and check the dimensions, then resize if needed.
