A server icon is an image that appears on the left side of the server name on the Multiplayer list of your Minecraft client.

Although servers do not have a set server icon by default, all Shockbyte servers come with a pre-made icon as shown on the screenshot below. You can change this server icon to your liking.

Example default server icon

Preparing the Image File

Before you can change your server icon, you must make sure that the image file meets the following requirements:

  • The image size/dimension must be exactly 64 pixels by 64 pixels

  • The image file type must be .PNG

  • The name of the file must be server-icon

Once you have finished preparing your server icon for use, you're ready to upload it to your server.


Changing your Server Icon

Step 1:

Access your server's control panel and navigate to the Files tab.

Open your Shockbyte panel and click the files tab
Step 2:

Upload your new server-icon.png file

If you already have a server-icon.png file, uploading a new one will ask you if you would like to overwrite it, which you should accept.

Upload your new server-icon.png file
Step 3:

Start or restart your server if it is already running

Start or restart your server

That's it! Once your server boots up, your new server icon will show up in the server list. If it does not appear, please ensure that the image is precisely named server-icon.png and meets all requirements mentioned above.
