This article is a work in progress.
Please help in the expansion or creation of this article by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Note: Currently undergoing a major refactoring - it's probably a bad idea to have two separate history sections for one page, so this page will be converted to a page dedicated to showing asset and data value changes. Once reasonably complete, this will be proposed on the community portal. NOTE: As part of this proposal, only the sections for cobblestone and oak stairs are (reasonably) complete - later sections are to come after discussion of layout and other details is done.

Potentially noteworthy effects:
- In 1.0.0's development, the bottom faces of blocks had the texture mirrored - when this started and when it was fixed is unknown
- MC-91710 resulted in several cases of stair UV appearing different
- MC-92137 would also have resulted in stair UV appearing wrong
- MC-114779 removed a face of stairs that cannot be seen normally
