How To Change Your Minecraft Server’s Picture (Setting Your Minecraft Server-Icon)

What is going on guys uh we’re back today with another minecraft server tutorial so in this one I’ve been be showing you guys how to basically add a server icon image to your server so what I’m talking about is they pop out of the VM just for a second

And this right here this image see how my logo is right there – B – T’s got that you know mated lands high pixels things like that so how you can add your own custom image because you can see this is our server right here the one

That we’re working on the one that we started in the last video and did the server properties for this right here is just using the default picture so we’re going to change that so I’ll go back into our windows 10 VM here and what we’re gonna do is basically if you will

Get a picture so we’ll go on the internet and we’ll look up a diamond pickaxe and we’ll grab an image for it doesn’t matter what it is let’s grab let’s just grab this one right here that’s a good one alright so what you want to do is you

Want to open it up in Google like this and you want to right-click on it you want to open the image and new tab that’s gonna give you the full size original image it’s probably gonna pop open a new tab up here you definitely want to click on that and then you’ll

Have the full size image here and you want to make sure your image is a JPEG or a PNG or something that you’re gonna be able to open and paint so you want to right-click it you want to save image as what I would do is I would just I would

Just save it whatever it is and we want to do is now you want to open up paint you guys can use Photoshop or anything else but we’re going to use this to resize and resave the image so you guys know how to do that with any type of

Other software that you guys might have feel free to use that but I know everybody out there’s got paint and it’ll do it so what you want to do is go file open then you want to go find it I put it in my downloads so I grab it it’s

Right here when I click open and now we have our picture then we want to click resize right here and we want to come into here we want to make sure we uncheck this box this is maintain aspect ratio and go to pixels make sure we click on

Pixels and then want to change this to 64 by 64 and click OK it’s gonna make it teeny tiny and that’s fine because that’s the size of the picture that we need because minecraft is gonna take a very specific size of file and a type of

File Sony’s a 64 by 64 pixel PNG so now we’re gonna save as file save as and then you want to come down here and you want to change save as file type right here you want to change that it’s a little drop-down you want to go to PNG

So we’re gonna grab that and then we’re gonna go we’re gonna save it in our to tour like in our minecraft server so it doesn’t matter where you save it will actually just put it on the desktop for now and we’re gonna call it something very specific server – icon dot PNG it

Needs to be called exactly that and then click Save and then connects out of paint we don’t anymore we don’t need chrome anymore either and here’s our server icon that we just created you want to take this server icon you want to put it great right in

To where the server jar is a server that property is you want to put it right in here you don’t want to put it in any of these folders you want to make sure it goes right in there so now we have server – icon dot PNG in the root

Directory of our server so now we can start up our server and that’s basically it now if we go and look in the server browser we refresh it should have changed the picture for us so we’re gonna wait for this to load up and then we’ll hop over on minecraft and I’ll

Show you guys the difference okay so it’s done so we’re gonna go back over to minecraft and here’s our original picture the default one that’s right there we’ll click refresh and there you go now we have our diamond pickaxe and this is our server join it and we’re

Right back where we were though no no we’re actually in a different spot what I’m gonna show you guys how to do now is how to basically join the server because a lot of people have been asking me how do I add my own server it’s not showing

Up it does say here scanning for games in your local network but you guys are creating it dedicated server so you need to add the server yourself so you have to add the server figure out the IP address I have a whole video explaining that if you

Don’t know how to do it that’s mine right there and bank we add it look our message of the day is right and we have our icon so it’s really that simple to add an icon to your minecraft server so if you guys enjoyed this video
