Updating Icon Mod
What it does?
Deletes icon.png from your world folder after the world starts.
Why? Because Minecraft insists on keeping outdated icons, and I don't so why not force them to generate a new ones?
If you want new icon of your World after every gaming session that's mod for you.
⚙️ How it works
- Runs only in singleplayer (
IntegratedServer) - Hooks into
SERVER_STARTEDevent via Fabric API - Should be compatible with everything
🧪 Tested on
- Minecraft 1.21.11
- Fabric Loader 0.18.4
- Fabric API 0.141.1
- Java 21
(I'm not a programmer so I probably won't port that until needed)
🧠 Inspired by
The idea behind "Updating World Icon" by CursedFlames/Cursed1nferno But for 1.21.5+
Marked as SinglePlayer only because it doesn't do anything if you are not on IntegratedServer
