Java installation icons have no alt text resulting in weird audio cues from the narrator

Relates to MCL-23181.

The Bug:

The icon names for the different block icons displayed within the installations tab for Minecraft: Java Edition have no alt-texts (alternative texts), resulting in weird audio cues when read by the narrator. Several of the block names contains underscores, and some are also inconsistent with names used by the game engine.

Below is a table highlighting this issue, with all affected strings listed along with descriptions of their associated issues.

This bug is also reproducible in the latest beta versions b.2.3.647 (New Windows App) and b.2.3.651 (Legacy Windows).
