'''Minecon 2015 Presentation Pack''' is an unreleased [[Minecraft:mash-up pack]]{{Note|While unreleased, this follows the criteria for a DLC pack to be considered a Mash-Up pack by having a skin pack, resource pack, and world associated.}} created solely for the [[Minecraft:4J Studios]] art team's "Minecraft Console Edition - Making Mashup Packs" panel hosted at [[Minecraft:MINECON 2015]] on July 5, 2015. The pack was designed for the ''[[Minecraft:Xbox One Edition]]'' of the game, and as such it's unlikely it ever appeared in any form on other editions. The pack features a custom texture pack, a world featuring the 4J Studios Dundee office, and skins of some members of the 4J Studios art team.

== World ==
In the presentation, a recreation of the former [[Minecraft:4J Studios]] office in West End, Dundee, Scotland was used to show where DLC for the {{LCE}} was developed. It features the complete interior of the office interior and of the workspace of the 4J Studios art team. Several members of the art team, as well as chairman [[Minecraft:Chris van der Kuyl]], are depicted as retextured entities working in the studio.

The exterior of the studio is a partial recreation of West End, Dundee. Through the main entrance is a decal of the studio's logo and a small reception area that leads directly into the first main workspace near a meeting room and a break room. In the workspace are several desks and monitors and a massive decal of the [[Minecraft:City Texture Pack]] menu panorama and a decal of the Xbox One Edition key art. The break room features a small kitchen area and a green cake, textured similarly to a [[Minecraft:creeper]], the entrance to another workspace, and a closet housing the servers. Inside the closet, a carrot eating hamster in a wheel can be found hard at work. One of the rooms has been reduced to a massive firey pit.

== Resource pack ==
A custom, but notably incomplete, 16x texture pack featuring office and urban style textures such as furnished wood, stylized cobblestone, sleek windows, and glass doors to recreate the office space. It also featured custom decals and artwork. Some blocks and entities were retextured but UI and items were entirely unchanged. This pack is the first apperance of custom animated textures{{Note|Not including blocks that are animted by default such as water, lava, fire, and nether portal blocks}} ever seen in {{LCE}}, predating the first released pack to feature them properly, the [[Minecraft:Halloween Mash-up|Halloween 2015 Mash-Up Pack]], by over 5 months.

===Blocks===
Many of the retextured blocks can be identified thanks to two brief glimpses at the Creative inventory during the presentation. The following blocks were not retextured{{Note|Or at least not very noticeably}}: [[Minecraft:grass block]], [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:sandstone]], [[Minecraft:cut sandstone|smooth sandstone]], [[Minecraft:chiseled sandstone]], [[Minecraft:block of coal]], [[Minecraft:block of iron]], [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli block]], [[Minecraft:block of diamond]], [[Minecraft:block of emerald]], [[Minecraft:block of quartz]], [[Minecraft:coal ore]], [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli ore]], [[Minecraft:diamond ore]], [[Minecraft:redstone ore]], [[Minecraft:iron ore]], [[Minecraft:gold ore]], [[Minecraft:emerald ore]], [[Minecraft:nether quartz ore]], [[Minecraft:bedrock]], [[Minecraft:oak log|oak wood]], [[Minecraft:spruce log|spruce wood]], [[Minecraft:birch log|birch wood]], [[Minecraft:jungle log|jungle wood]], [[Minecraft:gravel]], [[Minecraft:obsidian]], [[Minecraft:ice]], [[Minecraft:netherrack]], [[Minecraft:lava]], [[Minecraft:fire]], [[Minecraft:soul sand]], [[Minecraft:torch]], [[Minecraft:poppy]], [[Minecraft:fern]], [[Minecraft:oak sapling]], [[Minecraft:birch sapling]], [[Minecraft:jungle sapling]], and [[Minecraft:dispenser]].

The exterior to the building is built of [[Minecraft:spruce planks]], now sporting a lighter and furbished appearance with horizontal planks, gray [[Minecraft:brick]] stairs tiling the roof of the office, [[Minecraft:cobblestone]] and [[Minecraft:mossy cobblestone]] as two variants of horizontally and vertically tiled cobblestone pavements respectively, striped [[Minecraft:glass]] office windows, [[Minecraft:iron Doors]] to match the style of the windows surrounding it, and lastly gray [[Minecraft:Weighted Pressure Plate (Heavy)|heavy weighted pressure plates]] powering to enter the building. The [[Minecraft:4J Studios]] logo in the first room is made of four retextured [[Minecraft:stained glass panes]]. White stained glass has been made entirely of one shade of white surrounding the 4J logo, and gray stained glass appears to have been retextured as an opaque variant to top the windows. [[Minecraft:Ice]] has been retextured to be entirely one shade of blue. The floor in the workspaces are a smooth gray block, while the floor in the meeting rooms is made of [[Minecraft:stone]], which has been retextured into a smooth blue block. The walls have a smooth seamless white texture, and the ceilings have white tiles. [[Minecraft:Glowstone]] is retextured to appear as fluorescent lights held by [[Minecraft:glass panes]]. [[Minecraft:Flower pot]]s have been made dark gray. [[Minecraft:Oak planks]] have been made vibrant and vertically planked wood, and jungle planks and [[Minecraft:oak door]]s have been retextured into a smooth wooden surface for furniture. Four stained glass blocks{{Note|It's clear these are stained glass panes because the montiors are transulcent, although it's hard to notice}}, have been textured to appear as for animated variants of computer monitors featuring a [[Minecraft:grass block]] being drawn on a blue background, [[Minecraft:Steve]]'s face being drawn on a blue background, a player [[Minecraft:strip mining]], and what appears to be a skin's face being drawn on a purple background{{Note|It is VERY hard to make out what is happening in this animation due to it consistently being out of frame or blocked in the presentation}}. Three unknown blocks have been retextured into server blocks, all of which have blinking animations, and a fourth into an animated hamster in a wheel to power them. The break room itself features birch planks that have been retextured into cupboards, a smoother [[Minecraft:gray carpet]] layering the kitchen counters, and a [[Minecraft:cauldron]] sink with a smooth white texture filled with saturated turqoise water{{Note|This texture strongly resembles the water from the [[Minecraft:City Texture Pack]]}}. [[Minecraft:Cakes]] have been retextured into a rich chocolate cake with frosting that resembles the texture of [[Minecraft:creepers]]. Two slabs have been retextured to resemble Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, although it's not clear what types{{Note|Acacia and Dark Oak slabs were implemented in the game at this point but not accessible via the creative inventory. It may also be the [[Minecraft:smooth stone slab|stone slab]]}}. [[Minecraft:Stone bricks]] and [[Minecraft:nether bricks|nether brick]] have been retextured to appear as green meeting room chairs and as comfy black chairs, sofas, and footrests all throughout the office, although it's not clear which one is which{{Note|All of the plank textures, brick, cobblestone, sandstone, and quartz textures are accounted for already either by being untouched or already used elsewhere. These are the only stair types left in this version ([[Minecraft:TU25]]/[[Minecraft:TU26]])}}. Bookshelves have taken a more sleek design with black. [[Minecraft:Clay]] has been made into an unknown gray block that may be a drawer block appearing near bookshelves in the build, and [[Minecraft:iron bars]] have been retextured but it's not clear as to what it is intended to be, and it is seemingly not present in the build.

===Paintings===
All three 4x4 paintings have been made into the box art for ''[[Minecraft:Xbox 360 Edition]]'', ''[[Minecraft:PlayStation 3 Edition]]'', and ''[[Minecraft:Xbox One Edition]]'' respectively. Four 2x2 paintings have been retextured to create the City Texture Pack daytime menu panorama. "[[Minecraft:Fighters]]", the 4x2 painting, has been retextured into a large television in one of the meeting rooms, a 1x2 painting has become a portrait of the Fidget skin from the [[Minecraft:Summer of Arcade Skin Pack]]{{Note|This is a nod to [[Minecraft:Stampy]]'s skin}}, a 2x1 painting has been made to appear as widescreen monitor running a program with the Windows 7 desktop visible. A 1x1 painting has been retextured into a turned off monitor. The back of paintings have been retextured, perhaps only partially, to resemble the back of a monitor for the 2x1 monitor painting.

===Entities===
All of the villagers have been retextured to appear as 4J Studios employees: skin artist Chris Reeves, UI artist Julie Kennedy, artist Michael Hansen, and artist Brian Lindsay{{Note|There is another 4J employee villager but it is unclear who it is meant to be. David refers to them as "a villager" rather than by name in the presentation.}}. The [[Minecraft:enderman]] has been retextured to be founder and chairman Chris van der Kuyl, emitting red 4J particles as he walks around.

===Particles===
As mentioned earlier, the ender particles, and by extension the generic particle itself, has been remade to be a "4j" and emits from various other sources such as torches, flames, and explosions. The color table entry for ender particles has been changed to red, likely the same hue as seen in the 4J Studios logo.

== Skins ==
4J Studios employees had skins created for personal and private use that sometimes appeared in Youtube videos, social media profile pictures, and events such as this panel. These skins would reappear updated 2 years after this panel in the [[Minecraft:5th Birthday Skin Pack]].
