The Texture Update is an update released in Java Edition 1.14[1], Bedrock Edition 1.10.0[2] (with further amendments in Bedrock Edition 1.11.0), and PlayStation 4 Edition 1.90. The update changes most of the textures in the game,[3] 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[Java Edition only] or as a separate download[Bedrock Edition only] (named "Programmer Art" in Java Edition, and "Classic Textures" in Bedrock Edition).[4][5]

Missed textures
While the majority of textures have been updated to conform to the new art style, the following have been missed out;
- Signs (with the exception of crimson and warped signs) still use the old planks and log textures.[6]
- Paintings still use an old planks texture on the rear, edges and frame.[7]
- Dyed versions of terracotta have not been updated, although their undyed version has.[8]
- The top texture of the observer is still largely based on the old "polished cobblestone" texture, rather than its updated version.[9]
- The spectral arrow, in entity form, appears much closer to the old spectral arrow texture than the new one.[10]
- The bedrock texture in natural end crystals has not been updated at all.[11]
- The brewing stand GUI still uses outlines based on the old glass bottle texture, rather than its updated version.[12]

Trivia
- On April 1, 2018, the Texture Update was "released" on Java Edition 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.[13]
- The textures were reverted to the way they were before on April 2, 2018.[14] 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.[15]
