Info update

info_update is a debugging/placeholder block exclusive to Bedrock Edition that generates in place of blocks that were removed or not yet added.

Obtaining
The block cannot be obtained, without breaking it when already in a world. Its tool requirements are unknown.

Even in Creative, it cannot be obtained via, but it is possible to place it using.

Also, deleting an add-on will result in a block similar to the info_update block. It can be obtained by breaking the block, but appears in the inventory as "Unknown" and not as tile.info_update.name. The player cannot break any block if they are holding it. Therefore, they are probably not the same block.

Also, if the resource pack is missing in the add-on, all blocks in the add-on use the texture of the info_update block.

Usage
The update game blocks are a set of two similar placeholder blocks present $$. These blocks are placed in the world when the game detects an invalid block ID. (This means it is the substitute to the missing texture block that appears $$) Shovels are ineffective against this block despite the dirt sounds and texture.

They are only obtainable with or with inventory/world editors. This block is used only for blocks with invalid IDs. If the block ID is valid, but has no texture, it sometimes appears as a magenta black checkerboard block instead of this block. Of note is that this block's texture is itself called a missing texture and named accordingly in the game's texture files.

The block's texture is shared by reserved6.
