This page documents all known cases where missing textures and models are or were used in vanilla Java Edition.

For this page, due to the nature and intended use of missing textures and missing models, "vanilla" is defined in a much more strict sense than normal: alongside having no mods installed, use of non-default texture packs or resource packs, as well as non-default data packs, are also forbidden, as these can allow for the arbitrary occurrence of error handling assets.

Missing texture[]

This section only covers cases where the texture arises due to a texture being absent or invalid. Cases where the texture appears due to a model being absent or invalid are documented in the missing model subsection.

Particles[]

Block and item particles (breaking, broken, sprinting on, falling on, iron golem walking on, eating, ...)

From 13w02a to 13w17a, the missing texture was positioned at the very top-left of the texture atlas. As such, it was used in multiple cases not due to it being the missing texture, but due to it being at the top-left. Only cases in which the texture is used due to being the missing texture are listed here; cases where it is used due to its position are listed at Java Edition default texture uses.
