atlas.terrain is a texture atlas used to store block textures.

Format

This section is missing information about:
  • Is it deterministic like Java Edition's?
  • If Minecraft Earth was based on the BE engine, does it also have this atlas?
  • Are 3 different atlases generated for opaque, semi-transparent, and transparent or does it just generate these when 3d exporting?
  • Does Minecraft Education have the same atlas as Bedrock Edition?
 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

atlas.terrain is a 2048×1024 pixel file that is split into 16×16-pixel squares with 8 pixels of padding for blocks. It is generated from terrain_textures.json in alphabetical order when a world is joined. If a texture is referenced multiple times, it will appear once in their first spot. If a broken or nonexistent texture is referenced, a missing texture will appear in its spot, even if there is a different missing texture before.

Any textures added to terrain_textures.json in resource packs will be added to atlas.terrain, including ones in add-ons and when Minecraft Education features is enabled.

Viewing

This section is missing information about:
  • method to export or even just see the atlas from versions a0.15.0-b1 to 1.1.7
 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

You can obtain the file by using a structure block set to 3d export mode There has to be a semi-transparent block like stained glass to export the right image. You can then convert it to a OBJ file and take out the correct one.​[more information needed]

It can also be viewed by using a resource pack to change items_texture.json to use atlas.terrain for the texture name. This will cause items to use the wrong atlas.​[more information needed]
