When anisotropic filtering is enabled in release 1.7 (specifically versions 13w38a to 14w21b inclusive), the missing texture will change from a 2x2 checker to a 4x4 checker. This effect is even displayed on the official 14w10a release banner: https://web.archive.org/web/20140307083916/https://mojang.com/2014/03/minecraft-snapshot-14w10a/
25w44aās anisotropic filtering setting, however, does not appear to have this effect.
To reproduce:
open any snapshot in the original version range (Iām using 14w17a)
view the missing texture via a command: /setblock ~ ~ ~ stone 7 and/or /give @p end_portal
compare how these look with and without anisotropic filtering
now open the latest snapshot
view the missing texture via a command: /give @s minecraft:stone[minecraft:item_model=""]
compare how this looks with and without anisotropic filtering
Expected results: with anisotropic filtering off, we get a 2x2 checker, and with it on, we get a 4x4 checker.
Actual results: we get the expected results in 13w38a to 14w21b, but not in 25w44a
