Minecraft server icon maker

Drop any picture. You get a server-icon.png that the server accepts: exactly 64 by 64 pixels, PNG. Nothing is uploaded.

How to set the icon of a Minecraft server

1. Make the icon here and download server-icon.png. Do not rename it.
2. Put the file in the main folder of the server, next to server.properties. On a hosted server, upload it with the file manager or FTP into the top folder.
3. Restart the server. In the server list press Refresh.

If the icon does not show

• Size: it must be exactly 64 by 64 pixels. A bigger or smaller picture is ignored and the console says so. This page always writes 64 by 64.
• Name and type: exactly server-icon.png, lower case, and a real PNG. A JPG renamed to .png does not work.
• Place: the server's main folder, not world or plugins. On a network (Velocity, BungeeCord), the players see the proxy's icon, so put it in the proxy's folder.
• Restart: the file is only read when the server starts. The client also keeps the old icon until you refresh the list.

Which scaling to pick

Sharp pixels keeps hard edges and is right for pixel art, a Minecraft block or a skin face. Smooth is right for photos and drawn logos. Automatic picks sharp when the picture is small (up to 64 pixels) or a clean multiple of 64, and smooth otherwise.
