Java Edition history of textures/Items

This article is about all changes made to item textures. For the texture atlas that housed all block textures prior to Java Edition 1.5 and Pocket Edition v0.8.0 alpha, see items.png.

This page attempts to document the full history of the textures of items, their additions, changes and removals. This page only documents items which have specific item textures (such as cauldrons and hoppers) - items which use 3D models of the block they represent, as well as items which are the 2D texture of the block in question, are not documented here but rather at Java Edition history of textures/Blocks.
