How to Set a Server Icon and Thumbnail for Your Unturned Server

Published June 9, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

A custom icon and thumbnail help your server stand out in the server browser. You add the image by hosting it publicly and pasting the direct URL into Config.json.

Set the server icon and thumbnail

  1. Log in to your Game Control Panel.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Click Configuration Files, then open Config.json using the Text Editor.
  4. Locate the Icon and Thumbnail fields in the file.
  5. In a new browser tab, go to https://imgur.com/upload and drag your icon image onto the page.
  6. Once uploaded, hover over the image and click the copy button to get the image URL.
  7. Format the URL as a direct image link:
    • If the image is a PNG, append .png: https://i.imgur.com/yZbb9Z5.png
    • For other formats, append the correct extension.
    • Add i. before imgur if it is not already there: https://i.imgur.com/yZbb9Z5.png
  8. Paste the direct image URL next to the Icon or Thumbnail field in Config.json.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Restart the server to apply the change.

Troubleshooting

  • Icon not showing: confirm the URL points directly to the image file (ending in .png, .jpg, etc.) and not to the Imgur gallery page.
  • Changes not visible: ensure the server was fully restarted after saving.
