Minecraft server icons add character and customization to your server. They are displayed to users on the server browser screen, making them an excellent opportunity to make a lasting impression on your players.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Prepare your Image: Use an editor like Photoshop or MS Paint to resize your icon to exactly 64x64.

2. Proper Naming: Rename your file exactly to server-icon.png. This is case-sensitive.
