This is the list of features that are either completely new or derivative features that are available exclusively to Minecraft: Story Mode or Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two. This does not pertain to characters or gameplay. It should also be noted that all textures that Minecraft: Story Mode used as a base have become outdated due to the Texture Update and almost all textures were also additionally modified.
As Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two was made before Update Aquatic, they wanted to use coral and oceanic flora for the surrounding waters of the Sea Temple. They contacted Nandonalt and asked him if they could use his mod Coral Reef in the game. He agreed and they used them with some color tweaks to fit.[verify]
Door
Doors don't position in blocks as they do in the base game. Doorframes create the illusion that they fit in the wall creating what looks like slabs on top and vertical slabs framing the doors.
Portals that differ in frame materials and portal block colors. Entering a portal from outside its designated Overworld transports the user to that Overworld. Entering it from within its designated Overworld redirects the user to the portal network.
The feature is notably similar to the portals composed of funky portal blocks from the April Fool's update 20w14∞.
Large branching corals seen around the Sea Temple, built using orange and red wool to represent coral blocks.
Giant Seaweed
Large block-built seaweeds can be seen in the Doom Sea, built using green wool to represent seaweed blocks.
Palm Tree
A tree seen near Nell's house in Beacontown and along the shores of the Doom Sea. Built using jungle logs and jungle leaves, with the leaves having a 90° rotated texture.
Smaller Islands Surrounding the Main End Island
Season One was made before the Combat Update. Other than the main island being much smaller, there were other islands floating around it. The other islands have dark, blocky obsidian-like tentacles sticking out of them.
These are features that were taken from Minecraft that have simply been redesigned or modified and would not be considered separate from their derived feature.
A blue orchid with a dark green stem and unique bud placement.
Grass and Grass Block
These have color in their texture instead of a biome tint. This creates unique grass colors in certain biomes such as a yellow-green color and an orange variant both in the badlands as opposed to the usual brown; a brown-green color and a dark green color both in the swamp.
Packed Ice
This has a slightly dark outline in the edges of its texture.
Many of the blocks have varied textures on the same kind of block to enhance the environment. Some notable blocks that have variant textures include the bookshelf, stone, grass, sand, red sand, stone, and other exclusive blocks. Each texture file for the block using a varied texture is 256×256 pixels or 16×16 block faces.
A lot of the files (such as the buildings at EnderCon or the landscape in the overworld) use multiple block type textures in the same file.
A white variant of the pumpkin. Like the pumpkin, it also has a carved form. In the White Pumpkin's mansion, there is a pumpkin that can change one's voice.
The white jack o'lantern's texture is actually blue to represent the darkness of the area and so it doesn't become confused with the White Pumpkin. The whole block glows and it's face is a pink color. This suggests it contains a redstone torch or that the inside is pink. These replace redstone lamps hanging from the ceiling after the lights go out.
👁 Image White Pumpkin Stem. The white pumpkin stem is similar to a regular one. It's notably white and grows white pumpkins.
Dark Prismarine Brick
Sea Lantern.
Alternative sea lantern texture. These are found in the Sea Temple along with sea lanterns but emit a more vibrant light than sea lanterns.
A redstone lamp that emits colored light. Notable appearances are green lamps in PAMA, blue lamps in Ivor's lair and the Sea Temple, and red lamps in Romeo's creations. All lamp colors are: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, brown, and white.
Stair variants for terracotta (called hardened clay in the game files) and it's colors.
More hardened clay colors. The texture varies depending on the color sometimes resembling concrete or concrete powder. There is notably a proper white, a pine color, and tan.
Wool
Because Season One was made before the World of Color Update, most of the wool uses the old colors. However; it also uses a much broader spectrum of colors probably similar to how leather armor works, but they aren't often used. Notable colors are dark pink and golden. Despite Season Two updating the wool colors, the old ones are still used alongside the new ones.
