This is a public mapping of server IPs <-> a pretty display name. This data is used extensively around Lunar Client, most notably when displaying server names (or "Private Server", if unknown) on the friends list. Historically, this mapping was handled internally, and server owners did not have a good way to manage data for their server.
Each server in ServerMappings is represented by a folder with an accompanying metadata.json and logo.png. Open a pull request in this repository whilst following the steps below, and we'll review it as soon as possible. Once merged, Lunar Client services will update over the next 20 minutes. Check out metadata.example.json as an example of how to structure your metadata file.
The addresses array in each server object is actually an array of IP suffixes. For example, "addresses": ["lunar.gg", "other.domain"] will match lunar.gg, na.lunar.gg, play.other.domain, and so on. The primaryAddress field is where you can include the desired subdomain (na.lunar.gg, play.lunar.gg) for users to connect to your server on and is required to be resolvable. This primary address will be used to ensure that the server remains online and active.
We also require your server's primary connection information and allowed client versions. The primaryAddress field should be an address included** in the addresses array. The minecraftVersions field must be an array of client versions allowed on your Minecraft server. (ie. 1.18, 1.19); The primaryMinecraftVersion field must be a version included in the minecraftVersions array. The versions you include must be versions that are directly offered in Lunar Client, which can be found in the version selector of the Lunar Client Launcher.
In addition to the data that you will need to provide in your metadata.json, you will need to upload a .png version of your logo into the same folder. All images are to be transparent, square (1:1 aspect ratio), and a minimum of 512px in width and height. The file name should be logo.png. We require the logo to be large as we perform a number of different transformations for all the various places in Lunar Client!
Servers are also required to provide background image, you will need to upload a .png version of the background into the same folder as your metadata.json. Images should represent either the artistic style or the content of the server, with images needing to be a minimum of 1920px in width and 1080px in height, resulting in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The file name should be background.png. Backgrounds should be free of marketing, text, and/or any logos (that isn't part of a build).
In your metadata.json, you can define both a primaryRegion and regions which your server supports. Below is a table of the regions.
| Region Code | Name |
|---|---|
| AF | Africa |
| AS | Asia |
| EU | Europe |
| NA | North America |
| OC | Oceania |
| SA | South America |
Game types help identify the style of games that your server will offer to player. The following are games you may include: PvP, PvE, HCF, Factions, Minigames, Skyblock, Parkour, UHC, Hardcore, Survival, Open World, Prison, Creative, Roleplay, and Adventure.
You can add up to 3 unique types on the gameTypes field in your metadata.json.
We ask that this repository is only used to store mappings for public Minecraft servers. Some server IPs, such as private SMPs, tournament servers, etc. should not be listed in this repository, out of respect for privacy.
Lunar Client also reserves the right to omit any servers that do not comply with our Terms of Service.
If a server has closed down or has not been joinable for at least 3 months, we will add it to the inactive.json. This just flags our internal systems to not include the server in various place, but still retains all of the branding and other metadata you submit.
If you think your server has been added to this list by mistake, please make a support ticket at the link below.
Go for it.
