Command blocks, structure blocks and jigsaw blocks use menu_background.png
Discovered while testing MC-268943.
The bug
The user interface for command blocks, structure blocks and jigsaw blocks uses the file menu_background.png, which is inconsistent with all other blocks with a user interface.
Ideally, they should use a texture file for the background instead of being hardcoded (MC-268927), however not the same one as for game menus.
How to reproduce
- Download and apply the attached resource pack
- Open the Game Menu
- Open a chest or your inventory
- Open a command block, structure block or jigsaw block UI
How to fix
Introduce a new texture file, inventory_background.png, which is used for the background texture in the user interface of command blocks, structure blocks and jigsaw blocks, as well as for any block or entity with an inventory.

This is a direct result of 24w09a's changes and did not happen previously; all of these were transparent in prior versions.
For the Game Menu (Esc), this is particularly inconvenient as it forbids the viewing of anything happening in-game, unlike previously, which can have a major impact if pausing due to an imminent threat (e.g. close range creeper) or in multiplayer.
Affected menu screens
- Game Menu (pause)
- Options
- Open to LAN
- Advancements
- "Do you want to open this link...?"
- Skin Customization
- Controls
- Credits and Attribution
- "Are you sure you want to quit?" (via title screen button after death)
Command blocks, structure blocks and jigsaw blocks are also affected as a result of MC-268956, and signs and hanging signs are affected as a result of MC-269077.
How to fix
Introduce a new, dedicated background texture file for the above menus. It would only be present in the default textures; neither Programmer Art nor High Contrast would change it, so it can be left out of both resource packs as to fall back to the default.
The bug
It is no longer possible to change the texture used in the background while configuring command blocks, structure blocks or jigsaw blocks.
Previously, these copied the texture used in game menus (MC-268956), which was incorrect as block interaction screens are not menus. However, the fix for this appears to have taken away the ability to give these screen customizable backgrounds altogether.
How to reproduce
A resource pack is attached to this issue which retextures the UI background in 24w09a/24w10a versus the latest version.
Expected results
Changing the texture of the command/structure/jigsaw block background would still be possible like it was previously.
Actual results
It is now completely impossible.
How to fix
A new texture file should be introduced for the command/structure/jigsaw block background, which is distinct from the "menu background" file.
