Adjusted the new ores. If you are color blind, please give feedback - and state what kind of color blindness you have :)

I'm happy to announce I'm the Art Director for Minecraft now. What this means is that I'll be making less art but focusing on the overarching strategy, developing the art team and making guidelines to communicate what makes Minecraft art so great and how to replicate it. 🎉

I changed the new raw ores a bit, gave them all a similar silhouette to communicate that these are raw ores, I think that is a nice Minecraft touch!

Some insights in the new upcoming Mangrove biome, still work-in-progress, but we want to know what you think! Unfortunately, it will need to stay in the oven for a little while longer, so it will not be in any upcoming snapshots or betas. #Minecraft #TheWildUpdate

New ores V3 - I made redstone less flat on top - Copper now has some oxidation to look more unique and compatible with some color blindess. - Iron made less blurry, more gritty - HL edges in Grimstone ores. Gold and lapis to make them pop more - Grimstone diamond shading and HLs

Introducing the Piglin Brute. A stronger Piglin not distracted by gold, as they are devoted to protect the treasures in the Bastions. They do not respect your golden armor, they see right through your disguise.

Making the raw gold closer to fitting normal gold block. Previously the block had the same color as the gold item but usually blocks are more desatured in order to fit better in the world. Let me know what you think. #Minecraft

Incredibly heartbreaking news this morning. Technoblade ment so much to his community and was very loved. Rest in Peace 🐷👑🗡️

With the cave update and updated height limit you're going to be stuck in a cave for days eating scraps, desperately looking for a mineshaft with wood because your pick axe broke, you're out of torches, despair hits. Your only food left is glowberries. It is too dark to see.

Different tuff stone? Had some comments the current one was a bit blurry, I agree somewhat. I have had this version for a while, thought it was pretty nice. #minecraft

Tell me what you think. This will have directional placement. It's 8px high, same as a slab. Food will be placed on the 2 top logs. Crafting recipe will stay the same. #Minecraft

Very subtle Grimstone change. A tad lighter to bring it closer to normal stone, stays monotone. Decreased contrast with the darkest darks. First is current snapshot, second pic is new.

I think this is final. Raw block textures, slightly changed copper (added highlights) and slightly made Gold more vibrant. Completely overhauled iron, again. #minecraft

A NEW biome is on its way in 1.20: The cherry blossom biome! Hide under the wide canopies, stroll along the pink flower carpet blocks, and utilize the cherry tree for a brand new wood set! 🌸 aka.ms/Cherry-Blossom

I changed gold because the other one was a copy from the netherrack gold, but they are mechanically different so I had to change the overworld gold. I changed iron because it looked like beetroot ore.

The Vex model change was requested so much, we planned it a long time ago but could never say anything about it! So happy its out in the open now, I hope you like it. This is the first model revision we've done, so that's very exciting.

The Sniffer texture feels "high res" purely because it's so big, but its exact same pixel size as everything else. The striders and ravagers have the same. Big surface = more detail, it's just how pixel art is. In-game when you play with them, you'll notice its a non-issue

Made it slightly darker here - Also showing how ores intergrate, some better than others. I like this version. I tried making it even darker (Exact same colors as sides) But that makes it very busy and a bit too dark, so this is a compromise between the lighest and darkest.

Easy way to get blocked is by being rude, even slightly. I have enough poison in my mentions that it could kill an elephant so I have zero tolerance. I wil literally just block you forever without a doubt. For my own mental health 👍

It's been weird days for feedback because everyone is like "omg beans!" but also like "dont you dare change the bean blocks they are amazing"

I mean, realistically all the mobs in minecraft would be simultaneous hermaphrodites because they can breed with whoever they want but then again, breeding in minecraft is eating a specific food together and then just POOF, a child appears. 🤔

With the massive caves, buckets of lava are a huge utility to light up the abyss. I can see underground builds with lots of lava as well, seems like a solid effecient way to light up your underground base.

Which one is better? I've seen some valid feedback on this, obviously the new one is quite cluttered and busy, relative to the old one. But is that bad? Not so sure. Been thinking a mix between these too might be the best way to go. Basically a less cluttered 46a one.

Throw back to 2017 July 18! I think these were the first new textures posted back then? None of these actually made it to the end

Just a reminder: Not every person with a "Mojang Avatar" like I have is a Mojang Dev. Becareful of people pretending to be developers and spreading misinformation.

I have been looking into making grimstone a little bit lighter, you will barely notice, but it will move grimstone a little bit more to the middle of stone-blackstone. Contrast in the block set will be lowered because It's too high atm, the darks are very dark. Pics on monday!

The new wall behavior adds extra depth to wall building for sure! I'd love to see new designs you can come up with with the new walls

The cobbled deepslate is there just to give the option of having the side texture on top/bottom. We didn't want to remove the old deepslate block where the side was on all sides from the game because I'm sure some builders would be upset

What does the Minecraft community want for art? What kind of building blocks? what do you expect to see in future updates? (No post processing or tech stuff, please)

Pro tip for people that are making mobs for Minecraft: Remove atleast 80% of your cubes! Less cubes is better. Simple, more Minecraft. Put the details in the texture!
