A Fortnite player recently posted a screenshot on Twitter showing what appeared to be mold in the game. The image confused many, but Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney quickly cleared things up with a humorous explanation. On November 14, Sweeney replied to the post, revealing that the strange texture was actually an old asset from Unreal Engine, which he had first imported in 1995 while working on the engine’s development with a 90 MHz Pentium processor.

Sweeney went on to explain that the texture isn’t mold, but a photo of cave pearls, calcium carbonate formations found in limestone caves. He further quipped that the texture still appears in the game when a programmer forgets to specify a texture. When someone jokingly asked if it was safe to eat, Sweeney replied, “Actually yes,” linking to a Wikipedia page for Tums, a heartburn medicine that contains calcium carbonate.

Though the mysterious texture had been a topic of discussion on the internet since 2015, it’s fun to finally hear directly from Sweeney and learn that it’s a quirky, nostalgic relic of the 1990s—a throwback similar to iconic cartoons like The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter’s Laboratory.
