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. 🎉
The idea that there are fresh Minecraft players that will Innocently run into Wardens is so funny
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
Wednesday in Minecraft

Ribbit! That’s no frog in our throat, but it is the sound of the newest mob to take up residence in swamp biomes – frogs!

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
elon has no clue how much damage this could potentially do

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.
Do NOT edit the Warden to be cute. It's supposed to be terrifying. CMON.
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!

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.
Builders of Minecraft; What has been the most impactful significant block to be added the past 4 updates?
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
nowadays you just create a new world in Minecraft and the generator is just like let me just generate this absolute banger of a world gimme 2 seconds
Don't let the Warden ranged attack distract you from these banger Mangrove improvements
How cool is this?!
Saw this post which was showing "real" variants of blocks but uhh ??? What is this ??

please just say it looks like a block-shaped pile of iron so I can move on PLEASE NO BEANS PLEASE

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.

A little bit less bright, a little more subtle, more local colors and less gradient. Let me know what you think.
We added the Spyglass just so you could zoom-in on Frogs and see them do their lil walk
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 👍
I love everyone being so viciously anti-NFT. I feel more united and connected than ever. You're doing great.
Made some slight changes to the Quartz Bricks and Chiseled Netherbrick in the latest snapshots after hearing some community feedback :) #Minecraft
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.
I like how you can tell that a Minecraft meme is old because it uses the old textures
I'm polishing some of the candle lit textures because some of them are incorrect, the lighting is too prevalent
New Phantom model and texture is in the new snapshot! Here are some poses of it!
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
Hermitcraft is so wholesome, It's really impressive seeing all these pro minecrafters building an amazing world.
Great week for Minecraft.
Sniffer visuals revealed. Armor trims revealed and playable in snapshots. Minecraft: Legends release date.
Good week to be a Minecrafter
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!
posting my cool funmy textures on twitter . com only to have them be compared to food products

Me and @kingbdogz are refactoring the frog animation code a bit. Working as intended. Almost.

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
can artists catch a break please, can something good happen to artists..
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)

To clarify, I'm Art Director of Minecraft, not art director of our show called "Minecraft Now" 😂
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!
