Happy April 1st.
If you really want the normal textures back, here's how to get them:
- Go to your Minecraft launcher working directory. On Windows, this is
%appdata%/.minecraft
. On Mac, this is~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
. On Linux, this is~/.minecraft
. - Create the directory
versions/1.12.2-original
. - Download 1.12.2-original.json and save it to that directory. Make sure you are not saving it as a plain text file.
- Start the launcher.
- Create a new launcher profile (in the Launch options menu) and set to use the newly created
1.12.2-original
version.
With Forge, instead of creating a new version, you need to open the Forge version JSON file with any text editor, and insert the following block just before the final }
:
,
"assetIndex": {
"id": "1.12",
"sha1": "98c430c16a705f18a58a281b27caabf3ef09d40d",
"size": 169253,
"url": "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/assets/1.12/98c430c16a705f18a58a281b27caabf3ef09d40d/1.12.json",
"totalSize": 130042857
},
"assets": "1.12"
Then, start the launcher.
Follow the same steps above, but name the version 18w11a-original
instead of 1.12.2-original
.
The file you will need to download is 18w11a-original.json.
