Texture (File)

Overview
The Texture File is a file of a Mob, Block, Skin or Item. It is not in any way similar to a Texture Pack.

A Texture is also a Skin File. Another example of a Skin Texture could be found here.

A texture file is used to make blocks and mobs in texture packs, and to make skins in New Minecraft. Also, Textures are the images that put the servers together and make the games and texture packs, so you're not only glad that Textures let you make another skin besides the Steve Skin, you should be glad that the Textures put the servers and Minigames together.

Trivia

 * There is a Texture for everything in New Minecraft; even Air.
 * Textures run the servers in New Minecraft.
