The seed for Minecraft’s fabled pack.png image – dubbed “the most iconic image in Minecraft history” – has finally been found, letting all players explore the world it was taken from.
If you’ve ever played Minecraft Java Edition, you probably recognise this image: it depicts a grassy hill with trees and a beach with a waterfront. Newer players have probably only seen the image in black and white. What is it? Where did it come from?
This image, called pack.png in the game files, is seen in two places in Minecraft: in the resource pack selection screen, where the image is shown as the icon for the default resource pack of Minecraft, and on the server selection screen, when it is shown in black and white when a host has not selected an icon for their server.
