GNOMicon

by Haxalotl

GNOMicon swaps the gear icon that GNOME uses for the window in Minecraft for the Minecraft dash icon on Fabric and NeoForge builds for 1.21.1.

What it does

Its purpose is to replace the default window icon with the Minecraft dash icon, so the game no longer shows a gear, the icon the author calls a stupid little gear. The change works on the client alone, so players install it without any server involvement, and the mod is client-side only. Builds for Fabric and NeoForge were published on 2026-09-06 for 1.21.1, and the mod was first published on 2026-07-09. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Minecraft dash icon

    The window icon is replaced with the Minecraft dash symbol on startup, with no setup needed.

  2. Window name check

    A check on the window name lets players confirm the icon change applies as intended.

  3. Simple single change

    The mod does one thing: it changes the window icon and leaves the rest of the game alone.
