Minecraft Texture Update

The Texture Update is an minor update released as part of Deluxe 1.14, Bedrock Edition 1.10.0, and PlayStation 4 Edition 1.90 (with further amendments in Bedrock Edition 1.17.10, as well as minor revisions in subsequent updates for textures that were left behind). The update changes almost every texture in the game, except for a few iconic textures such as the creeper. The textures were developed primarily by JAPPA (Jasper Boerstra). The original textures (with the exception of leather horse armor) are available as a resource pack/texture pack, which is in the game by default in Deluxe, and has a separate download in Bedrock Edition (named "Programmer Art" in Deluxe, and "Minecraft Classic" in Bedrock Edition).

=== Misc. ===
* Although chests, trapped chests and Christmas chests had their png files changed (file sizes too), they still use their old textures/pixels rather than updated ones.
* The offline default player skins, "Steve" and "Alex", have not been updated in Minecraft: Deluxe unlike Bedrock Edition, creating a mismatch between the "Steve" texture and the zombie texture, which are supposed to be related.
** The launcher however has the newer models and textures.
** This is no longer the case as of Deluxe 1.19.3, which introduced the updated "Steve" and "Alex" skin texture as well as seven more default skins.
* The bottom texture of the Enchanting Table is now visually similar to Obsidian (albeit the file size being different).
** Enchanting Table used to have borders on all sides (to differentiate from Obsidian) before it was changed in this texture update.
* Sugar cane had its texture changed.
** As of 1.17, the item texture itself was changed to be more accurate to the block's default tinted color, but whether it is the part of the same stylistic update is unknown.
=== Inconsistencies ===
* The border of the Cactus bottom texture still uses the color scheme of the old cactus side texture, as opposed to the current side texture.
==== Textures using old elements ====
* The top texture of the observer is still largely based on the old "polished cobblestone" texture, rather than its updated version.
* The top texture of the ender chest is still largely based on the old "cobblestone" texture, rather than its updated version.
* The bedrock texture in natural end crystals has not been updated at all.
* The Tutorial hints still uses the old oak planks texture, rather than its updated version.
** It has been updated as of Deluxe 1.20.3.
* Spectator icons, such as the 'exit menu' and 'teleport to player' are still based on the old barrier and eye of ender textures.
* The pack.png for the default resource pack still uses the old grass block and cobblestone textures, rather than their updated version.
* Dyed versions of terracotta have not been updated, although their undyed version has.
==== Slots and Outlines ====
* The empty armor slot textures in the Inventory still use the old textures, rather than their updated versions.
* The icons on Statistics still use old item textures, rather than their updated versions.
=== Unsorted ===
* Despite being visually similar before the update, the leather tunic overlay lost its transparent textures, where it once had an unused texture, most likely as a placeholder.
* The hand texture of the Drowned uses an old Zombie hand texture rather than the new one. This also affects Zombie Villagers, Illagers and Vexes.
** Vex texture and model was updated on Deluxe 1.19.3.
* Podzol still uses its old side texture rather than an updated one, even though its top texture is updated.
* While normal pumpkin stem and attached melon stem use updated textures, attached pumpkin stem and normal melon stem still use the old ones.
* Grass Blocks still use their old top texture rather than an updated one that has appeared in Texture Update Betapacks V1 & V2.
== Trivia ==
* Despite saying that the Creeper texture was not changed, its file size changed during the course of this update.
* On April 1, 2018, the Texture Update was "released" on Deluxe as an April Fools' joke. DOS-styled 8-bit default version of textures, with heavy reductions in detail, were released for Deluxe, available in versions of 1.12.x and 1.13 snapshots from 17w43a to 18w11a, with the thread claiming that all editions of Minecraft would eventually get the textures.
** The textures were reverted to the way they were before on April 2, 2018. These textures cannot be re-activated by setting the device's date to April 1, 2018 as it is a server-side update.
** These textures only replaced the default textures, so using a Resource Pack would hide the textures the resource pack would change.
* The Texture Update Beta Pack gallery on the Minecraft Marketplace in Bedrock Edition uses screenshots from the Deluxe.
* 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 Deluxe, 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.
* The "polished cobblestone" on the piston prior to the texture update used to match the furnace top texture. After the texture update, they no longer share the same design.
* On PlayStation 4 Edition, the Block of Emerald uses a different texture compared to Deluxe and Bedrock Edition.
