🖼️How to Set a Custom Server Icon

Introduction

That little image next to your server name in the Minecraft multiplayer list is called the server-icon. It's a 64×64 PNG and takes 30 seconds to set up.

Step-by-Step

1. 1Create or pick a 64×64 pixel PNG image
2. 2Name it exactly server-icon.png (lowercase, no spaces)
3. 3Open the panel → File Manager
4. 4Navigate to the server root (where server.properties lives)
5. 5Click Upload and drop the PNG
6. 6Restart the server

The new icon shows up in the multiplayer list within a few seconds of a refresh.

Icon Design Tips

• Use 64×64 exactly, anything else gets rejected
• PNG with transparency looks crisp at small sizes
• Bold shapes read better than fine detail at 64px
• Test against both light and dark backgrounds

Free Icon Tools

• Photopea, free Photoshop in your browser
• Pixilart, built for pixel art
• Canva, drag-and-drop templates

Warning: If the icon doesn't appear, the file is probably the wrong size. Re-export at exactly 64×64 and re-upload.
