Your server page
Your server page is what players see before they join or vote. Some of it you write yourself in the edit form. The rest we read live from your server every few minutes. To change your page, open My servers and press Edit server.
What we read from your server
- Icon: your server's own
server-icon.png, the 64×64 icon players see in the multiplayer menu. To change it, change the file on your server. - MOTD, version and player count: read live. If you leave Supported versions empty, we show the version your server reports. You can type your own label instead, for example
1.8 – 1.21, up to 40 characters.
Banner
- Recommended size 468×60 pixels. Other sizes from 234×30 up to 1000×250 are accepted.
- GIF, PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 2 MB. Animated GIFs stay animated.
- Without a banner, your MOTD is shown instead.
- To remove a banner, tick Remove the current banner and save.
Description
Write 30 to 5,000 characters about what makes your server worth joining. The editor has buttons for formatting, and a Preview tab. You can also type:
## Heading **bold** *italic* ~~strikethrough~~ - list item 1. numbered item > quote [link text](https://example.com)
A YouTube link on its own line becomes a video. Descriptions are checked automatically for spam.
Game modes and language
Pick at least one game mode. The form shows how many you can choose. Choose the main language spoken by your players and staff. Players use both to filter the list, so pick what really fits.
Links and extras
- Website and Discord appear under Links. The Discord link must be an invite, like
discord.gg/yourcode. - Server location: found from your IP. If your server is behind a DDoS protection proxy, choose the country yourself.
- Live map: a Dynmap, BlueMap, squaremap or Pl3xMap address. An https:// map is shown on your page; an http:// map opens in a new tab.
- Launch date: for a server that isn't open yet or a new season, up to 6 months ahead. Your page shows a countdown and an Add to calendar button, and you appear under Launching soon on the home page.
NoteChanging the name or address of a live server sends it for a new review before it shows in the list again. A new address is also pinged when you save.
