Terminal Commands to executable (Fedora)

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong thread. I'm really new to this and am still figuring things out. Anyways, I have two lines of commands that I use in the terminal to launch minecraft. They are

cd Downloads
java -jar minecraft.jar

I would like to turn this into some sort of executable shell program that I could click on and minecraft could launch automatically. I tried to do this myself with some googling and such, but to no avail. I was wondering If someone could help me by posting something I can use with instructions on how to use it. Any help is appreciated. I'm really new to Linux so I don't know a lot about the coding.

Open up a text editor.
Put in

Code:

cd Downloads java -jar minecraft.jar

Save it as a .sh file (eg. launch_minecraft.sh)
Then right click on the file and tick the box marked "Executable".

Hello and Welcome!

Depending on the Desktop Environment that you are using, you should be able to create a shortcut. In the command selection, try:

Code:

~/Downloads/java -jar minecraft.jar
