MCL-737I'm still experiencing this issue with any resource pack converted from any texture pack.
With 1.6.1, I noticed on my roommate's Windows PC that the launcher icon has taken the original grass block icon, and the game window now uses a crafting bench icon. With Linux, this has not been reflected.
The normal workaround is to use a .desktop file and set an icon to a process using its WM_CLASS variable, which is what I've done until the 1.6.1 launcher, but the game window that is created with the new launcher does not seem to have such a property, so it seems to be stuck with the ugly, default "?" icon in my environment.
The new crafting bench is available in the .minecraft/assets/icons directory as intended, though I don't know of a way to actually bind it to the process.
The icon for the launcher itself is fine, just not the game.
I am not sure, though I assume so. I will check this afternoon once I get off work.
It still does, yes.
Yes, it is. I updated the version to Launcher version 1.3.1.
Thank you for reminding me, I've admittedly stopped checking up on it since I imagine it's not very high on the priority list.
Sort of. It doesn't automatically use the correct icon. It does, however, actually have a WM_CLASS variable, so one could make .desktop files to actually force it to use the correct icon if he or she wished. However, the variable is "Minecraft 1.7.4", which means you would have to manually edit the file every time Minecraft received an update, which I'm not going to do.
Frankly, I don't care anymore. There's no point in me editing this "bug report" every few months when no one ever actually looks into it or takes it seriously. And it's clear that Linux support isn't a priority for Minecraft at the moment. So forget it, I'm not going to be "updating the affected versions" anymore, there's no point. It's clear no one with the power to do anything about it cares, and no longer do I.
Well, the game itself works fine because it's a JAR. But I wouldn't expect any "advanced features" like the Twitch streaming functionality or minor fixes like these for the platform.
Edit: Also, completely unrelated to Minecraft, if you're planning on installing Ubuntu from scratch you might as well honestly just wait another month and start fresh with 14.04 in April. Of course, updating to it from 13.10 shouldn't be a problem, as that's what I'll be doing, but some people like to start fresh.
