How do I set an icon for my Minecraft server?
How to set a custom icon for your Minecraft server: upload a 64 x 64 pixel PNG as server-icon.png and restart the server.
By Yvan Watchman Updated
A custom server icon shows in the Minecraft server list, next to your server's name. You set it by putting an image named server-icon.png in your server's main folder.
What you need
- A PNG image of exactly 64 x 64 pixels. Minecraft does not load any other size.
Tip
Have a larger image? Resize it to 64 x 64 pixels with an image editor, for example Paint on Windows or Preview on macOS.
Set the icon
- Name your image
server-icon.png, all lowercase. - Log in to the game panel and open your server.
- Go to Files. You are now in the main folder (
/home/container), whereserver.propertiesis too. - Click Upload and choose
server-icon.png.
- If you uploaded the file with a different name, click the three dots next to it, choose Rename and name it
server-icon.png. - Restart your server with Restart.
Check
Open Minecraft and go to Multiplayer. Click Refresh; your own icon now shows next to your server.
Icon not showing?
- Check the name: exactly
server-icon.png, notserver-icon.png.pngorServer-Icon.PNG. - Check the size: exactly 64 x 64 pixels.
- Check that it is a real PNG. A renamed JPG does not work; save the image again as PNG.
- The file must be in the main folder, not in a subfolder.
