I recently discovered a newfound love for the nostalgia of the Legacy Console Editions of Minecraft, as I played them when I was younger and recently uncovered some of my old worlds. I intend to start development of a mod pack that makes Java edition look, feel, and sound as though its a legacy version, so the start of that would be to change the menus, including the start menu. I want this mod pack to include the feel of Legacy all the way up to TU46, aka, before the aquatic update addition. To do this, one of our first starting points is the panorama, but I am having troubles finding the original images. I know the rough process of making a panorama (images of all axis cropped or shaped at 700x700), but I obviously need the images to make it, and I can't find the images. I've tracked down the pages of multiple legacy editions of Minecraft on the texture resource website (textures-resource.com), but none of them included the panorama images. I know of the existence of a pack that already added the panorama, but their only link (at least that I could find) has long since been deleted by request of author, and I have not found the new posting of it, if there even is one. Plus, it used recreated images and not the originals. So, I intend to find and rip the assets of the original panorama and recreate it into my slowly yet surely developing mod pack. Any help tracking down this asset, and hell, a collection of all the assets of the Legacy Console Edition, would greatly add to the ability to progress with this project. Thanks!
P.S. The only version of Legacy available to me now is the Nintendo Switch edition, which is probably the most unknown Legacy version, and being on a modern platform, would be nearly impossible to rip assets from. And if being on the switch wasn't bad enough, it was released digital only. The work to rip the Switch version would just not be worth it, so ripping a version like Xbox 360 or PS3 would be much easier to do. However, I don't own these so I can't do it. Anyone willing to send the assets, please do.
Update: I downloaded a panorama from vanilla tweaks to get an idea of the file format and organization required, and my fears were confirmed: I cannot use one long image, but I need 6 different square images adjusted perfectly on each axis. While I could recreate the images, the Java edition has very different lighting, so it won't look like, as well as the fact that my Switch has too low resolution to make the photos look good
I reccomend the mod Legacy4J I havent tried it myself but watching videos, once I actually thought someone was on console until I saw in their video they were on a 1.18+ world

Update: I managed to find this bedrock mod (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft-bedrock/addons/legacy-panorama-selector/download/4974374) that allows access to every tutorial panorama, so I extracted the file to zip and got the TU46 image. However, it lies as a single image, meaning it requires a different method of converting it to java. I shall research more. Peace
