How to add Minecraft server icon

Level: Beginner

In this guide we will step-by-step show you how to add a Minecraft server icon. This allows you to have a custom image on the Minecraft server list. Changing your server image/icon is the easiest way to start customising your server.

Prepare an image

Remember to rename your final image to server-icon.png. Only then will it be recognized by the server as the server-icon.

Step 1: Select an image to use as your server icon

  • You can create your own image or find one on the internet.
  • The image's size should ideally be in a 1:1 ratio i.e a perfect square.

Step 2: Convert the image to the required format - 64x64 PNG

  • Head over to convert-my-image.com.
  • Choose PNG as the destination image format.
  • Set the image size. Width and height both must be set to 64.
  • Click on the Upload File button to upload your preferred image. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the image.
  • After that, click on the Convert button, followed by the Download button.
  • Rename the downloaded png file to server-icon.png.
