Minecraft Story Mode:Exclusive features

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.


 * Diamond Minecart


 * A Minecart with diamonds on it. It is a direct reference to DanTDM (The Diamond Minecart) who drops it upon death.


 * Helmet design


 * A design similar in style to the Netherite Helmet, except with what looks like gray dyed leather, or iron.

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

 * The mouths of the Furnace.
 * A 3D Enderpearl can be seen as one of Jessie's tressures.
