The picture that the player sees to the left of your name in the list of servers. The game takes it from the file server-icon.png and takes the only size is exactly 64×64.

We'll remember in this browser and set up where your version is available. Open link settings are more important than this choice; the Vicki versions do not change.
Picture
Now an example is shown - a website image 1200x630. It is wider than a square, so the installation method makes a difference.
How to square
The square logo does not have a difference. In the wide sign, it eats edges and inscribe leaves transparent fields on the dark background of the list.

- Format
- PNG with transparency
The name and the lines below it are MOTD, a separate setting: it will collect them MOTD generator.
How to use
- Place the file in the server root
Right where they lie server.properties and the kernel file.
- Check the name
Windows adds the number if there was already a file with the same name: server-icon (1).png the server will not find.
- Restart the server
The icon is read once at startup.
- Click "Update" in the game
The client caches the old image in the list of servers and does not reset it itself.
Why the icon is not visible
- The file is not PNG. JPG with a renamed extension does not count - the format inside the file is different, and the server sees it.
- The side is not equal to 64 pixels. The game will not accept either 63 or 128: the icon has the same size.
- The server won't tell you about this. He's gonna write one line in the log, and he's going to run further, and there's an empty square on the list. The file on this page meets both requirements.
- Reduce by smoothing, increase by pixels. The photo must be averaged, otherwise ripples will appear, and a 16x16 pixel icon, stretched by anti-aliasing, will turn into soap.
