Howto: Replace the Minecraft client icons with custom ones
Posted: 08 Jul 2013, 19:08
Hey,
I just want to share this with you.
If you're similar minded like me, you sure want to adapt the Icon of the Minecraft launcher to a PureBDcraft one, to complement the look and feel of the menus and the game.
You can easily change the Icon of the Minecraft launcher shortcut by right-clicking it, Properties, select different Icon, etc... Various icons are available for download from https://bdcraft.net/minecraft-icons. I won't get into detail how to do this, you should be able to figure it out by yourself if you don't already know how to do this.
I did't want to stop there, i wanted to change the Icon of the actual game client from this:
to this:
As it turned out, this is pretty simple and straightforward. You don't even have to alter the client itself.
The icons we want to change are located at .minecraft\assets\icons, they are named icon_32x32.png and icon_16x16.png.
You have to replace these with your custom icons in png format and the correct dimensions.
I made a zip file with three icon sets, based on Sphax' Rune, Grass and Craftingtable icons.
Included in the archive are written instructions and the original client icons, in case you mess something up.
Let me know if you like this and if you could follow my instructions
