    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about creating and using Minecraft server banners.

    How do I add a Minecraft server banner to my website?
    Enter your server IP address above, pick a style, customize colors, and click "Download PNG" or copy the HTML embed code. Paste the embed code into your website HTML and the banner will automatically show live server status, player count, and version — updated every 2 minutes.
    Are these Minecraft server banners really free?
    Yes, 100% free with no limits. No account required. You can generate unlimited banners, download them as SVG or 2x PNG, and embed them anywhere. We don't add any tracking or require attribution beyond our small watermark.
    Do the banners update automatically with live data?
    Absolutely. When you use the embed URL, banners auto-refresh every 2 minutes. They show real-time player count, online/offline status, and server version. Downloaded PNG/SVG files are static snapshots.
    Can I use these banners on Discord, forums, and social media?
    Yes! We provide one-click copy for HTML, BBCode (for Minecraft forums like SpigotMC and Planet Minecraft), and Markdown (for GitHub READMEs and Discord). The dynamic URL works as a standard image anywhere.
    What banner sizes are available?
    Six sizes: Button (300×60), Standard (468×80), Wide (600×100), Leaderboard (728×90), Full (728×120), and Rectangle (300×250). The Rectangle is great for sidebar ads and the Leaderboard fits most website headers.
    Can I upload my own background image or server icon?
    Yes. In the Upload tab you can upload a custom background image (max 1MB) and a custom server icon (max 256KB). These are embedded directly into the downloaded SVG/PNG. The dynamic embed URL uses the auto-detected server favicon.
    How does the server icon detection work?
    When you enter a server address, we ping the server and extract its favicon (the 64×64 icon from server.properties). This is automatically shown on the banner. You can override it with your own icon in the Upload tab.
    What's the difference between SVG and PNG download?
    SVG is a vector format that scales perfectly at any size and has a smaller file size. PNG is a 2x raster image that works everywhere but is a fixed resolution. For websites, we recommend SVG. For forums and social media, use PNG.

    The Ultimate Free Minecraft Server Banner Generator

    Promoting your Minecraft server starts with a great first impression. A professional, auto-updating server banner instantly communicates your server's status, player count, and personality — whether you embed it on your website, share it in a Discord server, or post it on Minecraft forums like SpigotMC, Planet Minecraft, and Minecraft Server List.

    Our Minecraft Banner Generator is the fastest way to create stunning dynamic banners that update in real time. Unlike static images, embedded banners automatically refresh every 2 minutes — showing live player counts, online/offline status, and your Minecraft version without any manual effort. Every banner is served as a lightweight SVG that loads instantly and looks sharp at any resolution.

    16 Professional Banner Styles

    Choose from 16 carefully crafted design templates: Modern, Gradient, Minimal, Neon, Glassmorphism, Pixel Art, Dark Elite, Compact, Royal, Fire, Matrix, Aurora, Retro, Wave, Diamond, and Sunset. Each style features unique decorative elements — from animated grid lines and glow effects to pixel patterns and gradient overlays. Pair any style with one of 12 preset color themes (Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Galaxy, and more) or dial in custom hex colors for complete control.

    6 Banner Sizes for Every Platform

    We support six industry-standard sizes: Button (300×60) for compact links, Standard (468×80) for forum signatures, Wide (600×100) for website headers, Leaderboard (728×90) for ad slots, Full (728×120) for maximum detail, and Rectangle (300×250) for sidebars and voting sites. Every size is optimized for readability and visual balance.

    Custom Icons & Backgrounds

    Upload your own server icon (PNG/JPG, max 256KB) and background image (max 1MB) to make your banner truly unique. Custom images are embedded directly into downloaded SVG and PNG files. When using the dynamic embed URL, we auto-detect your server's 64×64 favicon from the Minecraft protocol for a seamless look.

    Embed Anywhere with One Click

    Every banner comes with ready-to-paste embed codes for three formats: HTML for websites and blogs, BBCode for Minecraft forums (SpigotMC, Planet Minecraft, Minecraft Forum), and Markdown for GitHub READMEs and Discord. The embed URL links back to your server page on Best Minecraft Server List, helping drive traffic and votes to your listing.
