Changing the Minecraft server icon

Add your own 64×64 px icon that shows next to your server in the in-game server list.

The icon is a small image players see next to your server's name in the server list.

Before you start

Prepare an image that meets three requirements:

  • PNG format,
  • exactly 64×64 px,
  • the file name server-icon.png.

Uploading the icon

The client panel is available in Polish only, so its labels are given in Polish with a translation.

  1. Upload the file

    In the client panel, go to the Pliki (Files) tab and, in the server's main folder, click Wgraj plik (Upload file). Choose server-icon.png.

  2. Restart the server

    The server loads the icon only when it starts.

You can also upload the file over SFTP. It has to be in the same folder as server.properties.

Common problems

The icon doesn't show

Check the size (exactly 64×64 px), the format (PNG, not a renamed JPG) and the file name (server-icon.png, in lowercase), one by one. When the server starts, the console may show an error that says what's wrong.

The game still shows the old icon

The game caches server icons. Click Refresh in the server list, or remove the server from the list and add it again.
