Texture Packs

Because there are many new additions to the blocks texture in 1.22, users playing with a custom texture enabled will see lots of pink blocks and corruption if they use textures designed for 1.21 and older.

This is a serious problem, many don’t even realize that they are playing with a custom texture, and (from my experience) will flood the forums and my inbox with bug reports.

To combat that, I am introducing a new mechanism that will reset the blocks texture to default every time you upgrade the game.

To help custom blocks texture creators upgrade their textures, here’s the default blocks texture for 1.22:

Because this is still work in progress, there may be small changes before release.

As you can see, there’s a lot more space allocated to various plants. The plants in row 6 are (in order from left to right):

• young grass
• fully grown grass
• young wild rye
• fully grown wild rye
• 8 growth stages of cultivated rye

Grass and wild rye are colored by the game depending on local humidity and temperature – do not give them a color in the texture (i.e. keep it shades of gray only).

The little green blob to the left of the flowers is a young flower stem (used when you plant flowers).

The little speck to the right of tree saplings and rye is a seed. It’s shared by all seeds in the game, and colored by the game engine. Other additions are dough, bread, soil (both fertilized and unfertilized). Flour shares texture with pigment.
