Missingno
Missingno swaps the game's black and purple missing-texture placeholder for a custom image that the player supplies.
What it does
Once installed, the mod replaces the familiar checkerboard that Minecraft shows when a texture cannot be loaded with an image the player provides. The image is applied at startup, so the game must be restarted after any change. Files are published for Fabric, and the mod requires MidnightLib. Its code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs client-side only, so servers need nothing installed.
Key features
Custom placeholder texture
The black and purple missing-texture square is replaced by an image chosen by the player.
Startup texture loading
The replacement image is read when the game launches, so edits take effect after a restart.
Image size guidance
Keeping the image at dimensions that are multiples of 16 helps avoid broken mipmaps.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

What the author says
A silly little mod to change the game's black and purple "missing texture" texture Make sure to provide a proper.png file, and preferably keep the dimensions a multiple of 16 in order to keep mipmaps from breaking.
