Steps to install:

1. First, have the legacy minecraft launcher for linux installed.
2. Put your launcher.jar file under ~/.minecraft/launcher.jar.
3. Put Minecraft.desktop (see attached file below) under ~/.local/share/applications/Minecraft.desktop.
4. Mark said Minecraft.desktop as executable either using chmod +x or under its file properties.
5. Go to minecraft.png (download link).
6. Right-click on the image and click "Save page as" or whatever the button is to download the image.
7. Rename the newly downloaded mcinstaller.png to minecraft.png.
8. Put minecraft.png under ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/minecraft.png.
9. Now you should see Minecraft under applications (if you click on the nine squares in the bottom-left corner of your screen).
10. If this is not the case, restart your computer and you should then see it.
