To all thy Mac OS users who are sick and tired of seeing the black 'exec' Java icon, I have a solution if not already known, and this is even better than the boring crafting table.
STEPS TO FIX:
Find a transparent icon of ANY Minecraft block you favor. I chose an Enchantment Table.
Download the image in full resolution by right clicking the image and saving it to your downloads.
Drag the image onto your Desktop and open the image in Preview.
Once in Preview, go to Edit > Select All and then go back to Edit > Copy. *You MUST copy the image in this EXACT way or the whole process will not work*
Open Minecraft and start the game.
Once you have Minecraft open on the start screen (Singleplayer/Multiplayer/Realms screen), move to your dock and right click the black 'exec' icon.
Go to Options > Show in Finder
Once in Finder, you will see the black 'exec' screen is named "java."
Right click the "java" 'exec' icon and click "Get Info."
Click on the SMALL black 'exec' icon in the top left corner of the window and make sure it is highlighted blue.
Type CMD+V (or paste the image using keyboard shortcuts) and it should appear in the window as the new icon.
Close all the windows and finder windows and restart Minecraft.
When it opens, cross your fingers and hope to God that it works and you should see your icon in your dock!
Voila!!! ENJOY!
**This can be used with ANY icon that has a transparent background and is copied in the specific way listed above. You can have Bookshelves, Eye of Ender, Your own skin face! It is up to you, and the possibilities are endless. Have at it, and have fun!
