{{q|WHAT IS JAPPA DOING TO MY MINECRAFT?
|
||
|
||
Changing the textures! Except for a few, like the Creeper.
|
||
|
||
Across all versions? YEP, both on Java and Bedrock. You cannot escape my sweet, sweet textures.
|
||
|
||
When? Soon! In the Beta Resource Pack, where all my beloved pixels live. |[[Jasper Boerstra]] <ref name="twitter">https://web.archive.org/web/20181210033947/https://twitter.com/JasperBoerstra/status/928968321277530113</ref>||Jasper_Boerstra_Mojang_avatar.png}}
