The Browser section in the Config.json file is used to configure the in-game browser settings for your Unturned server. This section allows you to customize the appearance including the icon, thumbnail, descriptions, monetization settings and more.

Based on Official Unturned Wiki and our experience.

"Browser": {
  "Icon": "",
  "Thumbnail": "",
  "Desc_Hint": "",
  "Desc_Full": "",
  "Desc_Server_List": "",
  "Login_Token": "",
  "BookmarkHost": "",
  "Monetization": "Unspecified",
  "Links": null
},
Server list in Unturned menu

Icon

The Icon field is used to specify the URL of the image that will be displayed in the server browser. This image should be at least 64x64 image file.
For example:

https://i.imgur.com/xz6ONp2.png

💡 PRO TIP
You can use Imgur to upload your images and get the direct link to use in the Icon and Thumbnail fields.
Remember that you must use URL which ends with image extension like .png or .jpg.

Desc_Server_List

The server description visible in the server list. Can't be longer than 64 characters.
For example:

<color=white><b>★ WIPED 8/29/24 ★ MAX GROUP 14 ★ LOOT x3 ★
Server information in Unturned menu

Thumbnail

The Thumbnail field is used to specify the URL of the image that will be displayed in the server info page. This image should be at least 256x256 image file. The URL can't be longer than 128 characters.
For example:

https://i.imgur.com/xz6ONp2.png

Desc_Hint

Text displayed under the server name in the server info page.
For example:

<size=17><b><color=#B31942>MAKE <color=white>AMERICA</color> <color=#1066CF>UNTURNED</color> AGAIN!</b></size>

Desc_Full

The full server description displayed under the map description in the server info page.
For example:

<color=white><size=15>Our server is a friendly community of players who enjoy playing Unturned together. We have active admins and a discord server for players to communicate and have fun. Join us today!</size></color>

The Links field is used to specify the URLs of the links that will be displayed in the server info page. This field should be an array of objects with the following structure:

"Links": [
  {
    "Message": "<color=#B31942>Website</color>",
    "Url": "https://unturnedamerica.com"
  },
  {
    "Message": "<color=white>Discord Server</color>",
    "Url": "https://discord.gg/2SYxWQaSTQ"
  },
  {
    "Message": "<color=#1066CF>Store</color>",
    "Url": "https://unturnedamerica.com/store"
  }
]

Login_Token

The Login_Token field is necessary to make your server visible to other players in the Internet server list. The token should be exactly 32 characters long.
You can manually create GSLTs while logged in with your Steam account at Steam Game Server Account Management
Other than making your server public, it provides the following benefits:

  • Server code will remain the same and won't change between restarts.
  • If you move your server to another IP, but keep the same GSLT, the players will still have it in their Favorites and History lists. This should happen within approximately 24 hours.

Monetization

The Monetization field is used to specify the monetization settings for the server. This field should be one of the following values:

  • Unspecified - use this if you don't know what to choose.
  • None - it means that your server doesn't have any monetization or donation options.
  • NonGameplay - your server has monetization options, but they don't affect gameplay. For example, color in chat or a special role in Discord.
  • Monetized - your server has monetization options that affect gameplay. For example, kits, vaults, or special items.

BookmarkHost

Configuring the Bookmark Host property along with a Login Token enables the bookmark button. When players bookmark your server they can then find it in the Bookmarks page in-game.

It's nice to have, but not necessary. To learn how to set up the Bookmark Host, check out the official documentation.

Conclusion

This is all you need to know about the Browser section in the Config.json file. Here's an example of a complete Browser section in the Config.json file from my Unturned America server to help you understand how it all fits together:
