Customizing Singleplayer World Icons for the Dynamic App Display

Preparing a World Icon

Because Dynamic App Icon Mod displays world-specific icons based on your active session, ensuring your singleplayer save has a custom icon allows your operating system taskbar to show a distinct visual badge.

1. Open your desired singleplayer world in game.

2. Press Esc and select Save and Quit to Title. Vanilla Minecraft automatically takes a screenshot upon leaving, which serves as the world's thumbnail.

3. To use a custom image instead, open your .minecraft/saves directory and locate your specific world save folder.

4. Place a square image named icon.png directly inside the world's save folder to override the default world snapshot.

Viewing the Custom Dynamic Icon

1. Go to the Singleplayer menu and verify that your world list entry displays the updated image.

2. Click on the world and select Play Selected World.

3. Minimize or switch away from the Minecraft window. The operating system taskbar or dock will now showcase your custom world image as the application icon.
