A version of Minecraft's textures was released for Java Edition available in versions 1.12.x and snapshots 17w43a to 18w11a. This release served as a teaser, with Mojang confirming that the upgraded textures would eventually be implemented across all editions of the game.

The new textures look actually degraded the original graphics into a heavily pixelated, DOS-style 8-bit color palette, stripping away almost all detail. The new splash text for this day also shows any of the following:
- Cleaner!
- Simplified!
- Perfected!
- Art directed! (by robots)
- Machine learned textures!
- Not blurry!
- Not bubbly!
- Not cartoony!
- Photorealistic!
- Hand-painted!
The textures and the splashes were reverted on April 2, 2018, when Mojang reverted the textures and menus back to normal. And if you missed out, you're out of luck—you can't trigger the event again simply by rolling your computer’s internal clock back to April 1.
