+# Custom Server Icons for Velocity Hostnames
+## Usage:
+- Launch proxy with the plugin once so the data directory gets created or create the directory `custom-server-icon` in the `plugins` folder manually
+- Put server icons as png with 64x64 pixels size into the data directory.
+- Rename the icons to `<hostname>.png` example: `mc.leohabrom.com.png`.
+- The forced hosts should now display their custom icons accordingly.
+- To reload the icons from the directory without restarting, use the command `/reload-icons`
