terrain.png in 13w01b, the last Java Edition version to actually use this file.

terrain.png was a texture atlas found inside minecraft.jar. It was used to store the game's block and fluid textures, the block breaking animation, and some items. It has been superseded with minecraft_textures_atlas_.pngs, obtainable in the screenshots folder upon doing  +  in modern versions.

Format

[edit | edit source]

terrain.png is a fixed-width 256×256-pixel file that is split into different 16×16 squares which correspond to the texture for each block found in-game.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Before the introduction of texture packs, terrain.png had to be manually edited or replaced in order to change any textures found in-game. The file would have to be placed inside an edited minecraft.jar file in order to work.

Main article: Placeholder texture § Texture atlas blank spaces

Unused sections of the texture are occupied by lilac squares, which distantly resemble the missing texture used from 13w16a onward. The paintings sheet also used this purple texture, however other atlases, like items.png and particles.png, did not.

These regions are solely intended to mark unused spaces on the sheet. Despite this, there are several cases of these texture regions unintentionally being used by blocks, items and other features. The following list names some significant examples where this texture was used (full lists for each edition are available with example screenshots and version ranges: Java, Bedrock, Console)

This section is missing information about: following questions:

12w36a beacon item form texture: the interior cube
The June 7, 2010 water/lava texture mapping bug implies there may be two different fire textures, even at this point, way before Beta 1.2. Does this mean two placeholder spots?
How can placeholder textures be made to appear? There is a way to make them appear circa Beta 1.7.3 by having the game paused as soon as it opens with an animated block in view (results differ with double clicking vs the open world button). Version range for this, and are there any other ways in other versions? Could be useful for testing the unobtainable item forms for fire and gears to see which of the two textures they use for items, as well as the burning on fire first person overlay and burning mob overlay.
When did torches get a top texture?
When did doors stop using the dedicated right hinge texture?
When did the furnace use a dedicated top texture?
What texture did ender chests use for particles?
Particle textures in general. What did logs use throughout history, for example?
Clarify inf-20100624's cloth changes on this page as well - DV 35 changed from light gray to white
Clarify Beta 1.3's redstone changes
Verify the side texture used by repeaters and any UV changes affecting them
Beta 1.7 fence UV changes? Should we even be documenting pure UV changes on this page at all?
Missing Beta 1.8 changes: mossy cobblestone texture, and two of the other unused textures at the bottom of the file
Stuff that should be added:

	13w02a	The `terrain.png` file has been replaced by individual block and item images, allowing for HD and animated textures. The `terrain.png` has been effectively replaced by procedurally generated texture atlases.
	13w02a	👁 Image A new file called `results.png` is present in the block textures folder, holding most of the textures which were not extracted (however the nether portal placeholder texture is mysteriously absent). It appears to be a dismantled version of the 12w42a file, rather than the 13w01a version, implying the texture file separation was being planned before the first snapshot of 1.5.
	13w02b	`terrain.png` has been removed from the jar file from this point onward.
	13w03a	`results.png` has been removed from the jar file from this point onward.
