[UPDATE: Turns out this was all an April Fools joke and we've been forced to rehire Jasper.]

Since late last year, we’ve been iterating on a new default texture pack for the Java Edition of Minecraft. At each stage, we’ve asked the community (that’s YOU!) for feedback, and worked hard to integrate all the great ideas we received.

Finally, we can reveal that, after taking on board all the opinions shared with us, we have a version of these textures that we are confident will please absolutely everyone.

We're so confident, in fact, that we're releasing it this Sunday morning to everyone in 1.12 and 1.13 straight away! After this guaranteed-to-be-successful trial, you can expect to see the textures in all editions of Minecraft soon!

Enjoy this feast for the eyes!
