Jens, the lead creative designer of Minecraft, has announced today that pixel artist Jasper Boerstra has joined the Minecraft team to work on fixing up the pixel art in Minecraft.
The artstyle in Minecraft has changed over the years. Partly because Notch and I have different techniques, and partly because I've changed my own style. Jasper's job now is to make a sweep to get everything in synch, style- and color-wise.
Here's what we know so far:
- These changes will be first released as a resource pack for the community to review and provide feedback on.
- After the changes are complete they will become the default textures in every version of Minecraft.
- A few previews of the potential changes have been shared so far, take a look at those below:
