Minecraft Story Mode:Exclusive features

This is the list of features that are available exclusively to Minecraft Story Mode. This does not pertain to characters or gameplay.

General

 * Mob Facial Movements


 * Zombies sometimes widen/squint their eyes.


 * Creepers sometimes close their mouth (never all the way,) and squint their eyes.


 * Wider Use of Particles


 * The generic smoke particle can be seen used as floating dust, falling dust, and geysers.

Random and Alternate Textures

 * Random Textures


 * Many of the blocks have random textures to enhance the environment. Blocks that have variant textures include the bookshelf, stone, grass, sand, red sand.


 * Alternate Textures


 * Different textures used on the same block. Ore-like blocks that aren't found in vanilla can be found in stone, such as a gray ore in the pattern of emerald ore in the stone when Jessie and Petra are falling off the bridge. These only served the purpose of surface decoration so it's classified as an alternate texture for stone. These are similar to how Minecraft Dungeons has separate textures of the same blocks.

 * Yellow Grass Color


 * Grass that has a yellow color in Badlands as opposed to the usual brown.

Structures
