Minecraft grass showcasing 'brown' grass

As you can see the left and right parts are bright but the middle part is pale. Why is it like that?

And how can I fix it? (Make it all bright green)

Grass is different colours in different biomes, and you're seeing the "dry desert" grass colour in the middle of your screenshot. The difference in colours is controlled by one texture file though, so it's easy enough to fix by installing a resource/texture pack that changes that file to be one uniform green instead of a gradient of greens and yellows.

Texture packs like that used to be popular due to nostalgia for the grass in older versions of Minecraft, but my googling just now reveals that they're a harder to find now. Since googling turned up nothing except broken links, I threw one together:

If you want a different green than the one I picked and have some facility with zip-file creation and image editing software, you can find the one texture file it contains and change the triangle of green to a green more to your liking.

Installing a Texture Pack

  1. Open Minecraft
  2. Click Options… then Resource Packs…
  3. Click Open resource pack folder
  4. Switch away from Minecraft to your desktop (if it didn't automatically)
  5. Copy the downloaded file in to the resourcepacks folder that Minecraft just opened
  6. Switch back to Minecraft
  7. The new resource pack won't show up until you close the Resource Packs screen and reopen it: click Done then click Resource Packs… to open it again
  8. Select the new resource pack and click Done
