Frequently asked questions

How do I set up an icon for my world?

Place a PNG image file in your mod's config folder with a name matching your world folder name, then rejoin that world—the mod will automatically detect and apply it as your app icon.

What image format and size should my custom icon be?

Use PNG format; the mod works best with square images, typically 256×256 pixels or larger, though smaller sizes will scale automatically.

Why isn't my icon changing when I join a world?

Check that your PNG filename exactly matches your world folder name (case-sensitive on some systems), that the file is in the correct config directory, and that you've fully loaded into the world before expecting the change.

Can I use different icons for servers vs. single-player worlds?

Yes—name server icons after the server address or use the server's display name in your config, and single-player icons after world folder names; the mod distinguishes between them automatically.
