About

This project is dedicated to cleaning up and creating consistency within texture documentation.

What needs to be done

There's a few things that need to happen:

  • Update History sections of pages to include all texture revisions
  • Move files to the right names
  • Update file names on pages
  • Check earlier release versions and development versions to see if any other texture changes were missed (not exactly related to the Texture Update, but it helps to be safe and complete)
  • Ensure documented texture changes are accurate

How to do it

To update files to the Texture Update, take the following steps. See this discussion for more details.

  • Ensure all files follow the naming system of "[Thing] JE[X] BE[Y]".
    • Textures that are exclusive to one version will include that version and that version only.
    • Snapshot textures are included in this progression, while textures from preview tweets or minecraft.net pre-releases are not.
  • Redirect the file name without a revision suffix to the most recent revision.
    • For example, have "Cobblestone" redirect to "Cobblestone JE6 BE3".
    • In cases where current textures differ, the basic file redirects to the latest Java revision.
  • Redirect both "[Thing] JE[X]" and "[Thing] BE[Y]" to the parent file.
  • If "[thing] TextureUpdate" has any version history, create a merge request with {{merge|:File:[thing] Revision X.png|Merge history, then change this to redirect per discussion}}.
    • If not, create a deletion request with {{delete|Duplicate file}}.
  • Update file names in pages.
    • History sections and the Texture Update page should use the file with the revision suffix (ex: Cobblestone JE6 BE3). The single-version redirects (ex: Cobblestone JE6 or Cobblestone BE3) can also be used.
    • Places such as infoboxes should use the plain file (ex: Cobblestone).
  • A complete list of updated file names looks like:
    • Cobblestone JE1
    • Cobblestone JE2
    • Cobblestone JE3 BE1
      • Cobblestone JE3 and Cobblestone BE1 redirect here
    • Cobblestone JE4 BE2
      • Cobblestone JE4 and Cobblestone BE2 redirect here
    • Cobblestone JE5
    • Cobblestone JE6 BE3
      • Cobblestone, Cobblestone JE6, and Cobblestone BE3 redirect here

Other

Many blocks, items, and mobs are missing texture revisions. Please create renders of all revisions (including when initially added) and follow the above naming scheme. This includes texture pack pre-releases which were not included in development versions.

It is also worth noting that certain changes to {{InvSprite}} have made some history entries nonsensical, so these should also be fixed. The pre-flip and post-flip versions of several block renders are hit particularly hard, as the most up-to-date inventory sprites are replaced, commonly making it seem as though the texture update took place in 2012, and in some other cases inventory sprites are replaced by downscaled renders, which somewhat defeats the purpose. So post-flip block sprites will also need to be added.

Blocks

  • Bamboo (Bedrock 1.8.0.8)
  • Chest (Texture Update page, 18w43a)
  • Cocoa (split gif into separate files)
  • Snowy Grass Block (texture presumably changed when grass texture changed)
  • Nether Wart (block) (split gifs)
  • Quartz Block (Smooth Quartz - 19w08a, Quartz - 19w09a)
  • Pumpkin Stem (18w43a)
  • Scaffolding (19w12a)
  • Snow (Texture Update page, 18w43a)
  • Sugar Cane block (Texture Update page, 18w43a)
  • TNT (0.27 SURVIVAL TEST)
  • Torch (Texture Update page, 18w43a) (Inventory texture change at some point)
  • Trapped Chest (Texture Update page, 18w43a)

This section is a work in progress. 
Please help in the expansion or creation of this Minecraft Wiki page by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.

Unlike the above section, this is a list of everything that has been completed. Considering this updating applies to literally every texture file, it'll be easier this way, at least to start.
