WayMoreIcons
by BluCobalt
WayMoreIcons changes the window icon of Minecraft when the game runs under Wayland, a display protocol where the usual icon setting is not applied.
What it does
Under Wayland the window icon of a Java Edition client can be missing or generic, because the desktop reads icons differently there. WayMoreIcons adds the support needed to set the window icon in that setting. It runs on the client alone, so players install it on their own computer and servers need nothing.
The mod is a Fabric utility from BluCobalt, published across 43 release versions. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-03-19. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with the source code available publicly.
Key features
Wayland window icon
Sets the window icon of the game when it runs under Wayland, where the default icon handling does not apply.
Client-only install
Only the player's client loads the mod, so a server does not need to add anything to join with it.
Source code available
The source code is published, so the icon handling can be read or changed by anyone under the license terms.

Use cases
Wayland desktops
Players running Minecraft under Wayland get the window icon handled by the mod instead of a missing one.
Who it’s for: Players who run Minecraft Java Edition under Wayland and want the game window to show its icon. Servers and players on other setups have no need for it.
How it compares
BookUtils is a Fabric mod for 1.18.1 only, client-side only, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and open source. Rebindable F3 is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.19 – 1.19.4, also open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. WayMoreIcons covers a wider span of versions and uses the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so it reaches far more versions than either.
