Template:Mono as it appears in this version.

• Template:Mono, the image that is present when a texture pack has no default image, was introduced in this version. It was generated with the seed 3257840388504953787, likely during this version's development.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• Shortly before the update released, "texture packs" were going to be called "skins."<ref>Template:TWON</ref> While they were called texture packs in-game, the change log for this update refers to them as both "skin packs" and "texture packs."<ref>Template:TWON</ref>
