(Reverting edits; some of the chiseled block descriptions seem speculative or incorrect. The face on chiseled deepslate doesn't really look like a warden; I don't think the design on chiseled quartz looks very much like a shulker bullet; the design on chiseled tuff could possibly be a reference to breezes or wind charges, but without an official reference, it might be considered speculation)

=== Armor stand ===
In the texture for the [[armor stand]], in an unused area in the bottom right, the name "Searge" can be seen in a black box. This is presumably put there as a signature by [[Searge]], the developer that implemented armor stands. In the bottom left, the name "Jappa" can be seen. This is likely another signature, this time from the texture artist, [[Jappa]], who was in charge of the [[Texture Update]]. Another name was by Chiwi, who updated the Smooth Stone base plate texture.

=== Zombie pigman ===
Before the [[Texture Update]], in an unused area for the [[zombie pigman]] texture, the words "THX XAPHOBIA" could be seen. This was written by [[Notch]] to give credit and thanks to the original creator of the texture, XaPhobia.<ref>{{tweet|notch|28832121068|@Micleee thank you!|October 26, 2010}}<br>{{tweet|Kiina_RS|1693649559983980858|i happened to read the mc wiki and ended up on capes page. and poor micleee.his cape got removed according to wiki when other users asked Notch for personal capes.since then there has been 8 more personal capes. and 6 unique capes that more than 1 person has.micleee lost theirs:(|August 21, 2023}}</ref><ref>http://pokeaddicted.deviantart.com/art/Zombie-Pigmen-183701798</ref>

In [[Java Edition 1.8|1.8]], Alex was added to the game. Invisible pixels include Alex's face with glasses, a reference to [[Jeb]], a Mojang developer, as well as an unfinished arm texture similar to Steve's used texture.

==== Upside-down mobs ====
[[File:Upsidedownskele.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|An example of a pig and a creeper being named "Dinnerbone".]]Any mob (with the exception of the [[ender dragon]], [[squid]] and [[glow squid]]) named "[[Dinnerbone]]" or "[[Grumm]]" (case sensitive) through [[name tag]]s, commands, or any other method, is rendered upside-down. The mob's behavior does not change.
{{Q|Anything with my name in Minecraft is upside down, including myself.|[[dinnerbonetweet:587968702831849472|Dinnerbone]]||Nathan Adams Mojang avatar.png}}
 
This also applies to players, allowing Dinnerbone and Grumm's avatars to be rendered upside-down. This can be toggled using the "Cape" button from the "Skin Customization" menu.<ref>{{ytl|59sRgPP6POE|t=5m34s}}</ref> {{IN|Bedrock}}, if the player names themselves Dinnerbone or Grumm, they are rendered upside-down. This works only if the player did not sign into Xbox Live.{{Verify}}
As of [[Java Edition]] [[Java Edition 1.6|1.6]], any mob (with the exception of the [[ender dragon]], [[squid]] and [[glow squid]]) named "[[Dinnerbone]]" or "[[Grumm]]" (case sensitive) through [[name tag]]s, commands, or any other method, is rendered upside-down. The mob's behavior does not change.

==== Rainbow sheep ====
[[File:Jeb Sheep.gif|thumb|upright=0.5|A sheep named "jeb_"]]
In [[Java Edition]] [[Java Edition 1.7.4|1.7.4]] namingNaming a sheep "[[Jens Bergensten|jeb_]]" using a [[name tag]] or a renamed [[spawn egg]] causes it to continually cycle through all colors a sheep can be dyed. When sheared using shears, however, the sheep drops wool of the original color of the sheep rather than the color that currently appears on the sheep. {{IN|be}}, if a sheep is named jeb_, and then sheared, the leftover wool on its skin continues to cycle through all the colors.
 
==== "Toast the Bunny" ====
Line 161 ⟶ 150:
[[File:deadmau5_blue.png|100px]] [[File:deadmau5_RED.png|100px]]
 
With the addition of the cape, Notch also added ears for the player [[deadmau5]]. The ears are "vanity items and are worn in addition to the player's skin"{{Citation needed}}, with the texture contained within [http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/48db3fbf18e5f0ef266b47f5e6b54126a55f331558ff34cb17468753d84d096 deadmau5's skin]. deadmau5 cannot disable his ears, as a translucent part of the skin is automatically converted into a black color. His name tag is also programmed to render ten pixels higher to be above the ears. The ears are set to show up based on the username, rather than the UUID of the player, meaning that if deadmau5 were to change his name, he would not keep his ears.{{Verify}}

As a side effect of this easter egg, any entity with the name tag "deadmau5", including named mobs, has its name tag render ten pixels higher than a normal name tag.

==== Stampylonghead reference ====
In the Legacy Console Edition TU19/CU7/1.12 Tutorial World, there was an island in the northeast side of the world and it had a remake of several buildings from Minecraft YouTuber [[Stampylonghead]], including his house along with his boat, the S.S. Stumpy.<ref>''not'' the S.S. Stampy, see: {{ytl|2w4zzVPJ4WU|t=13m48s}}</ref>
 
Additionally, the boat was seen in the trailer for [[Legacy Console Edition]] TU19/CU7.<ref>{{ytl|eJj3zgI4v9A|t=1m15s}}</ref>
 
A world based on the map, containing all of his creations, would later be released by [[4J Studios]] on the [[Marketplace|Minecraft Marketplace]] in 2024 as "Stampy's Lovely World".<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/pdp?id=2cac624e-2f90-4b3c-aa62-6dd0493ad20e]</ref>
