Can't add a .jar file as a non-Steam game

[Fridge]

I'm a Linux user, so Minecraft is a .jar file instead of a .exe file. Other files work fine exept for that one.

Sorry if this is ignorant sounding as I've never used Linux, but can you just create a batch file and then add that instead?

Would this work? Make a .lnk to the .jar, and then add the lnk to steam?

I created a link to Minecraft.jar and now it can be added to Steam. However, if I try to play it from Steam, It won't run. When I run the actual shortcut it starts up perfectly.
