'''<samp>terrain.png</samp>''' was a [[Minecraft:texture atlas]] found inside [[Minecraft:minecraft.jar]]. It was used to store the game's [[Minecraft:block]] and [[Minecraft:fluid]] textures, the block [[Minecraft:breaking]] animation, and some [[Minecraft:item]]s. It has been superseded with ''minecraft_textures_atlas_''.pngs, obtainable in the screenshots folder upon doing {{key|F3 + S}} in modern versions.

Was the flowing lava texture even added in this version, or was it added in a prior version and it used the grass top in that position as a placeholder?
* Likewise, a placeholder texture for fire wasn't added until a June 17th Infdev, despite fire being added more than six months earlier. Did fire even have a dedicated placeholder texture spot prior to this, and the dedicated placeholder texture just put in said space afterwards to mark it?
* The June 7, 2010 water/lava texture mapping bug implies there may be two different fire textures, even at this point, way before Beta 1.2. Does this mean two placeholder spots?

* How can placeholder textures be made to appear? There is a way to make them appear circa Beta 1.7.3 by having the game paused as soon as it opens with an animated block in view (results differ with double clicking vs the open world button). Version range for this, and are there any other ways in other versions? Could be useful for testing the unobtainable item forms for fire and gears to see which of the two textures they use for items, as well as the burning on fire first person overlay and burning mob overlay.

Template:Exclusive Template:Outdated feature

File:Terrain.png
terrain.png in 13w01b, the last Java Edition version to actually use this file.

terrain.png was a Minecraft:texture atlas found inside Minecraft:minecraft.jar. It was used to store the game's Minecraft:block and Minecraft:fluid textures, the block Minecraft:breaking animation, and some Minecraft:items. It has been superseded with minecraft_textures_atlas_.pngs, obtainable in the screenshots folder upon doing Template:Key in modern versions.

Format

terrain.png is a fixed-width 256×256-pixel file that is split into different 16×16 squares which correspond to the texture for each block found in-game.

Usage

Before the introduction of Minecraft:texture packs, terrain.png had to be manually edited or replaced in order to change any textures found in-game. The file would have to be placed inside an edited minecraft.jar file in order to work.

Empty regions

File:Placeholder Texture JE1 BE1.png

Template:Main Unused sections of the texture are occupied by lilac squares, which distantly resemble the Minecraft:missing texture used from 13w16a onward. The paintings sheet also used this purple texture, however other atlases, like Minecraft:items.png and Minecraft:particles.png, did not.

These regions are solely intended to mark unused spaces on the sheet. Despite this, there are several cases of these texture regions unintentionally being used by blocks, items and other features. The following list names some significant examples where this texture was used (full lists for each edition are available with example screenshots and version ranges: Java, Bedrock, Console)
