Texture Update

"WHAT IS JAPPA DOING TO MY MINECRAFT? Changing the textures! Except for a few, like the Creeper. Across all versions? YEP, both on Java and Bedrock. You cannot escape my sweet, sweet textures. When? Soon! In the Beta Resource Pack, where all my beloved pixels live."

- Jasper "JAPPA" Boerstra

The Texture Update is an update that was released in snapshot 18w43a for Java Edition, and will be fully released in 1.14, and in beta 1.10.0.3 for Bedrock Edition, and was fully released in 1.10. The update changes most of the textures in the game, except for a few iconic textures like the creeper. The textures were developed primarily by JAPPA (Jasper Boerstra). After release, the old textures will be available as a resource pack in-game.

Note that these textures are not yet final or complete and are still subject to change.

Trivia

 * On April 1, 2018, the Texture Update was "released" on Java Edition as a April Fools' joke and the new 8-bit default version of textures were released for Java Edition. The new textures were available in versions of 1.12.x and versions from 17w43a to 18w11a. It was announced that all editions of Minecraft would get these new textures. The new textures were actually the original textures using 8-bit color, leading to a drastic reduce in detail.
 * The textures were reverted to the way they were before on April 2, 2018. These textures cannot be re-activated by setting the device's date to April 1, 2018.
