Do we want to extract the icons from the wiki?

[uncovery]

I have written a code that extracts the icons from the wiki as well.
It downloads the individual block icons and creates a CSS for the item sprites as well. With the help of imagick or similar we could create individual item images.

Since all the regex and so on already exists here, it would be easy to implement if we wanted.

This is relevant because there is no 1:1 link for all items and block in the JSON data to the image files in minecraft-assets.

Let me know.

Doesn't minecraft assets (and minecraft jar extractor) do this better ?

There are specifc items that do not exist in the minecraft assets and won't ever, specifically full icons of blocks. The mc-assets rather has the top/bottom/etc images, but no 3D block icons such as this one:

mc-assets in this case has only the top and side view:

https://github.com/PrismarineJS/minecraft-assets/blob/master/data/1.15.2/blocks/acacia_log_top.png

Further, many blocks do not even have an image file that corresponds to the itemname if you want to link one specific item (such as "microsoft:tall_grass ") to the entry in the mc-data block Json. acacia_log is a lucky one, we would at least have the 2D side view, but others with more "versions" do not have any file that corresponds to the itemname, see sweet_berry_bush, tall_grass and many more.

These icons are not provided by mojang but created by the wiki users ?

Frankly I have no idea. But as of now, the Wiki is the only place where I can get them from.

Are these icons present in the game ?

I would think so, they are the ones that you see in your inventory. But I do not know if they are "assembled" for display from the textures or if the full icon is stored somewhere.

The icons for the blocks are created at game initialization using the in-game renderer.
