Animated Server Icon via Server Modification

This is an awesome hack! Great work.

This is good.

It’ll distinguish the extra bad servers from the normal ones.

;D

Are the animated ones ‘Extra bad’?

By the way seems very cool idea, didn’t know was possible.
A few questions
Wouldn’t it lag people with BAD internet?
Wouldn’t it be very annoying because someone can make flashy images, like epilepsy. Can’t owners give Epilepsy people a seizure?

The server-ping packet’s are pretty small so bandwith would be kept at a minimum and I think that the server icon has to be a lot bigger before it can induce seizures haha. Cool hack though :slight_smile:

Exactly :wink: Like the old blinking ads on websites before adblockers were invented.

Well someone could make an interesting look icon, people look at it for awhile and epilepsy can happen.

I tried this, it didn’t work for me. :confused:

I tried on 1.7.10

Might be a 1.8 thing.

I tried on 1.7.10 as well.

I tried on 1.8
Doesnt work.

Something slightly less annoying that I have done, is use the icon to show the players own head, or the last few people online.

So many times I got asked by players “Why is my skin your icon.”

I only do that on returning players, I want new players to see my cool server icon.

He disabled it on his server due to issues.
