`items.png`

This page uses many images.

It is not recommended for people with limited or slow internet connections to read through this page.

This page describes content that exists only in outdated versions of Minecraft.

This feature used to be in the game, but has ever since been removed.It may or may not return in a future update.

items.png was a texture atlas found inside minecraft.jar that was used to load the game's item textures.

Format[]

items.png is a fixed-width 256×256-pixel file that is split into different 16×16 squares which correspond to the texture of each item found in-game. Like with particles.png, unused sections of the texture are completely transparent, unlike with terrain.png and the paintings sheet where such regions are colored magenta.

Usage[]

Before the introduction of texture packs, items.png was used as the texture file for all items in the game. To change any item textures in-game, it had to be edited and placed inside an edited minecraft.jar file.

items.png was in use by Java Edition until 13w02b, Pocket Edition Alpha until version v0.7.0 alpha and actively by Legacy Console Edition.
