Designing Your Custom Server Icon

A Minecraft server icon must meet the following requirements:

The icon must be 64x64 pixels in size.
The icon must be named "server-icon".
The icon must be in .PNG format.

To create a custom server icon, you can use any graphic design software or online image editor that supports PNG format, such as GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, or Canva.

Verifying and Resizing Your Icon

Before uploading your custom logo, it's important to ensure that it meets the size requirements. Here's how you can check the dimensions of your icon:

Windows:

Right-click the image and select "Properties."
Select the "Details" tab on the top to view the dimensions.

Mac:

Right-click the image and select "Get Info."
The dimensions will be listed under the "More Info" section.

If your image is not 64x64 pixels, you can resize it using a tool like Simple Image Resizer:

Visit the Simple Image Resizer website.
Click "Select Image" and find the icon you wish to use, then click "Open."
Select the "Dimensions" option and enter 64 for the width and height, then click "Resize."
After a few seconds, a green box with a download button should appear. Click "Download" to access the resized icon.
Right-click the resized icon and select "Save Image As."

When saving the resized image, ensure that the file format is PNG and the name is "server-icon.png."

Uploading the Custom Logo to Your Tempest-Hosted Server

Follow these steps to upload your custom logo to your Tempest-hosted server:

Access your control panel and stop your server.
Navigate to the "FTP File Access" tab on the left side of the game panel and log in using your panel password.
Click the "Upload" button on the left side of the panel and drag your image into the uploader.
Once the image upload reaches 100%, return to the main panel page and start your server.

Your custom logo should now be visible in the multiplayer server list in-game when you ping the server.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your custom logo isn't visible in the Minecraft server list, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

Restart your server and refresh the server list in-game.
Re-add the server to the list in-game.
Double-check that the file name is "server-icon.png."
Ensure that the icon's dimensions are 64x64 pixels.

By following this guide, you can create a unique and visually appealing custom logo for your Minecraft server, making it easily recognizable and attractive to potential players.
