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

  1. Name your image server-icon.png, all lowercase.
  2. Log in to the game panel and open your server.
  3. Go to Files. You are now in the main folder (/home/container), where server.properties is too.
  4. Click Upload and choose server-icon.png.
    The Files tab in the game panel with the buttons Create Directory, Upload and New File.
  5. If you uploaded the file with a different name, click the three dots next to it, choose Rename and name it server-icon.png.
  6. 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, not server-icon.png.png or Server-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.
