On October 21, 2025, Oreville Studios announced the full release of Minecraft Actions & Stuff 1.7 Halloween update on both their YouTube and X accounts. They released a 2-minute video showcasing major features.

The video first showed a player-made structure featuring new block textures. Then, it revealed various new mob and block textures featured in the update. The developers basically used nametags and armor stands to create Halloween-themed variants of regular items and mobs.

Here is a list of mob texture changes when they receive a certain special name tag in Minecraft Actions & Stuff 1.7 update:

Wolf - Skeleton.
Iron Golem - Frank or Frankenstein.
Witch - Cackle or Warty.
Bat - Vampire or Batula - Will get red eyes and long fangs from its mouth.
Creeper - Skeleton - Will look like a skeleton variant with a TNT block inside it.
Allay - Ghost or Wisp - Will be white in color, as if it is a ghost.
Villagers - Ghost or Boo - Will be covered with a white cloak.
Warden - Jack or Gourden - Will have a completely new Jack o' Lantern texture, with orange pumpkin and green leaves.
Vindicator - Clown or Giggles - Will look like a clown.
Parrot - Crow
Creaking - Twiggy or Creakling - Turns the Creaking into a baby variant.

When it comes to new kinds of block textures, Oreville Studios decided to name armor stands with special characters, that allowed players to add different items to them in order to create custom block textures.

First, players will need to name tag an armor stand with "§§". After that, they can add various blocks and items to the armor stand to turn it into special Halloween props. Here is a list of a few examples:

Chiseled stone bricks - Creates a gravestone from where a zombie pops up.
Mangrove door - Create a vampire coffin in which a villager dressed as a vampire closes the door again.
Eye of Ender - Creates a portrait of Enderman on the wall that moves and screams.
Creeper head - Creates an entire statue of a creeper cross-section, showing that it has a small TNT block inside it.
Pointed Dripstone - Creates a statue of a gargoyle with glowing green eyes.
Leaf Litter - Creates a leaf pile with a leaf rake placed on it.
Jack o' Lantern - Creates a giant Jack o' Lantern block with a fire inside it.
Sugar - Creates a bucket with candies in it.
Bonemeal - Creates a skeletal remains placed on the ground.
Skeleton head - Adds a candle on top of it.
Red candles - Creates a decorative candle stand with three red candles.
Soul Lantern - Creates a vintage lamp post with a soul lantern on top of it.
Wheat - Creates a scarecrow
