This could be considered the cause of MC-164258, and if not closely relates to it.
The mangifying glass (referred to as search.png
when used elsewhere) is built-in/hardcoded onto the recipe book texture (recipe_book.png), instead of using it's own unique sprite texture.
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the following file path (or where ever Minecraft is installed):
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions[latest_version]
Right click the latest
[version].jar]
file, and open it in a file explorer (7zip or winrar)Go to the following path inside the jar:
assets\minecraft\textures\gui
Open the
recipe_book.png
in any image viewer
Observed Behavior:
The search icon will be built into the texture.
Expected Result:
The texture would use a unique sprite icon, like all other elements of the recipe book. This is specifically expected, because the same exact magnifying glass texture is used as a sprite icon elsewhere (see assets\minecraft\textures\gui\sprites\icon
shown below).
