[MC-108636] There are a number of unused texture files

There's a number of unused texture files, there's no point in having them:

textures/block/debug.png
textures/block/debug2.png
textures/effect/dither.png (effect folder will be empty after removal)
textures/entity/arrow.png (textures/entity/projectiles/ is used instead)
textures/entity/zombie/zombie_villager.png (textures/entity/zombie_villager/ is used instead)
textures/gui/container/recipe_background.png
~~textures/gui/stream_indicator.png~~
textures/item/ruby.png
textures/models/armor/piglin_leather_layer_1.png
textures/models/armor/piglin_leather_layer_1_overlay.png

It's all redundancy; there's no reason for it to exist.

Greg Milson 2018-05-03T03:40:29Z

Footprint shouldn't be on this list because it is used as a particle effect for custom maps and servers.

user-f2760 2018-05-03T07:04:50Z

Not anymore, it is no longer spawnable.

user-f2760 2018-12-29T12:56:11Z

Still in 18w50a. textures/gui/container/recipe_background.png seems to have been removed.

Hu, when did they remove footprint? I still remember using it. Also, Ruby and Quiver are textures that, while unused, remain in the game as a reminder of a long time ago. I would be more than a bit unhappy if they were removed!

Leather piglin overlay is actually used, because is the basic model for leather armor for they. It looks white because leather armor uses 2 texture parts instead of one, and with many colors, it determines its color with the game and not with the texture.

They became unused some time later.

Affects 20w46a
As mentioned recipe_background.png was removed.
Don't know if this is the place for it as this report covers entirely unused textures, but minecarts have an unused part.

Testing 2020-11-17T02:33:33Z

yes

Marty McFly 2020-11-26T01:10:57Z

MC-207169 I made a new one which i can't find explosion particle that appear to be yellow (explosion_14 image) while i test this game with my own resource pack using repeat command block (note: its not a bug of the 'color' thing, its for missing explosion particle frame)

Mateus Pereira Milbradt 2020-12-01T22:47:58Z

Don't remove the ruby texture file please

Testing 2020-12-02T11:10:31Z

Yea, ruby was mentioned in cave and cliffs update which ruby can use for recipe or something a suggestion for ruby recipes

Testing 2020-12-16T07:43:05Z

There's another 1.17 unused block textures was MC-208551

Chungui23 2020-12-18T18:17:02Z

Still affects 20w51a.

Justin Zheng 2020-12-26T19:31:19Z

Some of the unused texture files are meant to be used in the outdated versions of minecraft, failed or even unimplimented here are the following files: arrow.png, zombie_villager.png, ruby.png, ruby_ore.png, footprint.png, calibrated_sculk_sensor_side.png, calibrated_sculk_sensor.png, fluff.png

Justin Zheng 2020-12-26T21:10:50Z

Fluff was an unused texture meant to be used in the older versions of minecraft

Testing 2021-01-12T14:18:09Z

fluff is already removed

Mask3D_WOLF 2021-01-12T14:26:36Z

Debug and Debug2 could be WAI because they are debug files

Testing 2021-02-04T10:47:20Z

Another unused textures!

root_vines_head most likely lush leafless.

this is like addition of Root Vines or Dead Cave Vines.

Has no root vines body. it should be unused

Avoma 2021-02-07T12:52:32Z

Can confirm in 21w05b.

Testing 2021-02-10T20:40:10Z

Confirm in 21w06a.

Testing 2021-02-17T23:30:31Z

in 21w07a.

slicedlime 2021-03-23T16:14:28Z

Note: dither.png is used. debug textures are intentionally left in.

Sniper1.1 2021-04-01T03:12:13Z

Wait, so was the footprint particle removed? I know it didn’t exist naturally but being able to do stuff with it with commands could be fun and didn’t cause anyone any harm. I don’t think it should go.

Edit: apparently it was removed. Why? Like I said, it was fun to play around with in creative. Removing it didn’t make the game better in any way. In fact, I’d say it was more effort to remove it than to just leave it. I was planning on doing something with it at some point. Guess that’s not happening now 😞

DelimanCZ 2021-04-01T10:21:42Z

@Sniper1.1 Exactly as you say! It wouldn't hurt anyone if it stayed in the game, it would rather help. Same with depthSuspend particle, but I think it looked same as townaura particle, so it isn't that bad.

user-68c81 2021-04-29T01:09:57Z

stream_indicator.png wasn't removed. Is it currently used in the game?

Codexe 2021-05-12T13:28:38Z

Can confirm in 1.16.5

santinocavazos 2022-07-12T14:25:44Z

The footprint is actually used in April Fools snapshots.

Can notice in One Block At A Time and 20w14inf.
