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 released in 18w43a for Java Edition 1.14, Bedrock Edition 1.10.0, and PlayStation 4 Edition 1.90. 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). The original textures are available as a resource pack/texture pack built in-game or as a separate download (named "Programmer Art" $$, and "Classic Textures" $$).

Trivia

 * On April 1, 2018, the Texture Update was "released" on as an 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 reduction 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.
 * The Texture Update Beta Pack gallery on the Minecraft Marketplace in Bedrock Edition uses screenshots from the Java Edition.
 * In a now deleted Tweet, JAPPA announced on November 10, 2017 that the new textures would be available on "all versions" of Minecraft. However, the update has only been released on the Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, and PlayStation 4 Edition. The Xbox 360 Edition, Xbox One Edition, PlayStation 3 Edition, PlayStation Vita Edition, Wii U Edition, Nintendo Switch Edition, and New Nintendo 3DS Edition still have not received this update.
