Programmer Art (in Java Edition) and the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack (in PlayStation 4 Edition and formerly Bedrock Edition) are resource packs that primarily use classic Minecraft textures from before the Texture Update. The name in Java Edition refers to the fact that these textures were created by the programmers of the game, rather than a dedicated art team; the term programmer art is common for referring to such assets in video games.

The equivalent resource packs are built into Java Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition, and it was available as a free download on the Marketplace in Bedrock Edition. While the resource pack remained on Java Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition, it was permanently delisted from Bedrock Edition's Marketplace on June 5, 2026. As of September 21, 2026, Mojang has not given a reason for the decision to delist the pack from Bedrock Edition.

Ignored textures

Despite having a separate older texture in Bedrock Edition from before the Texture Update, leather horse armor still uses its post-Texture Update texture in Java Edition. Mojang have stated that they have no intention to resolve this inconsistency.[2]

The panorama displayed is always the latest for the version being played,[3] rather than being reverted to the Update Aquatic panorama (which was the last iteration before the Texture Update) or the Beta 1.8 – 1.12.2 panorama. The gradient overlay is also not displayed if the pack is active.

Several map icons are not reverted to their pre-1.13 appearances in Programmer art. Mojang have intentionally excluded the player arrow[4] and the two player-out-of-map icons[5] from the pack, whereas the old ocean monument and woodland mansion icons have been omitted presumably as an oversight given the ticket's Normal triage.[6]

Buried treasure maps use a slightly inaccurate texture compared to their pre-26.3 appearence, which Mojang have chosen not to fix.[7]

Quotes

The classic Minecraft look you know and love! We recently updated the game with new and stylish textures, but if you prefer more of a retro flavor to your Minecraft, this is the pack for you! Why not try both packs and compare them yourself?
