What Players See in the Server Browser
- Server Name — The title of your server in the list
- Description — Text shown when players click on your server
- Header Image — A banner image at the top of your server info page
- Server URL — A clickable link (usually to your website or Discord)
How to Customize
- Go to the Startup tab in your game panel
- Update the relevant fields:
- Server Name: Edit the server name field
- Description: Edit the server description field
- Header Image: Provide a direct URL to your image (recommended: 512x256 pixels, PNG or JPG)
- Server URL: Enter a link to your website, Discord, or community page
- Restart your server for changes to take effect
Server Name Tips
- Include key info players look for: region, wipe schedule, rates, and server type
- Example:
AgilaHost PH | 2x Modded | Weekly Wipe | Active Admin - Avoid excessive symbols or special characters — they can make your server harder to find in search
Description Tips
- Mention your wipe schedule so players know what to expect
- List key plugins or features
- Keep it organized — players scan quickly, so use short paragraphs
Header Image Notes
Rust restricts which domains are allowed for header images. If your image does not display, try hosting it on a commonly accepted CDN or image host.
