User:Chello1801/Sandbox/Legacy Console Edition unused features

Note: For most of the unused features listed here an external inventory or NBT editor is required to obtain these in-game.

Command blocks
In Java Edition, the command block cannot be obtained without using commands. In Legacy Console Edition however, they are completely unobtainable without inventory editing with an external editor. All three variants can be modded into the game, but none of them have any functionality. Oddly the command block has a string tag used to store the command and a tooltip stating "Used to execute commands."

Barrier
The barrier can also only be obtained via external inventory editing. It's an invisible block used to make solid boundaries, however are not fully functional as they cast shadows like other normal blocks, making them somewhat visible. It has a tooltip simply stating "An invisible but solid block." Interestingly barriers were used in the Aquatic Update tutorial mode once but is also in various Battlemode DLC maps.

debug_fourj_item
This mysterious item has the texture of a barrier, no display name and no tooltip hint. It can't be placed and has no actual use for anything. Although its ID suggests that it was used for debugging and testing purposes.

Minecart with command block
A minecart with an impulse command block in it which also lacks any functionality and usage. This only exists as an item, as placing it will result in a normal minecart being placed. The command block in the minecart cannot be changed via external NBT editing and it has an unused tooltip stating "Used to execute commands on the move!"

Spectral arrow
Spectral arrows can be shot using a bow, however lack any functionality when hitting a player. It doesn't give the player the Glowing status effect which is also an unused feature of the Legacy Console Edition. The tooltip reads "Gives the victim a glowing outline that can be seen through blocks."

Bark Wood
Wood is a block which has the log's side bark texture on all six sides and can be chopped using an axe. It can be used as fuel in furnaces but is not flammable, as it is completely immune to fire. It cannot be used to craft planks unlike the tooltip states "Chopped using an axe, and can be crafted into planks or used as a fuel."

Cavern testing area
In the Battlemode map Large Cavern there is a out-of-bounds area that can't be accessed without hacking. It seems to be a testing area used to test various aspects of the game in Battlemode. It consists of a chest, a minecart with chest, a furnace and crafting table, an item frame, an enchanting table and a dispenser along with a cauldron. There is also a sign with text that reads "11111". The chest is empty, however the furnace has a stack of gold ingots inside and there is an item frame within the item frame itself.

Cavern unseen structures
Also in the Large Cavern Battlemode map, there is an unseen village right beside the big opening of the cave and a incomplete mossy stone brick structure which was likely going to be a part of the main battle area.

Cove unseen caves
In the Large Cove map there are many decorated caves that go unused and unseen. However, some can even be seen without mods, for example the redstone caves at the side of the battle arena. On the ship's side of the arena there is a waterfall with a hole that leads out-of-map, where some unused caves can also be seen. However the most of the caves can only be seen by using mods.

Structure block textures
In terrain.png there are unused textures which were going to be used for the structure block.

Structure void texture
Like the structure block textures, there is also an unused texture for the structure void in items.png.

Leftovers
Leftover graphics found in the game files from some certain Console Editions. Found on the Xbox 360 Edition are leftovers from the PlayStation 3 and a Minecon 2011 graphic used in early builds of the Xbox 360 Edition.

Aquatic Update graphic


There exists an unused graphic featuring the promotional artwork for Aquatic Update. It's located in MCBREUpSell720.fui. This was presumably intended to be used to promote the Bedrock Edition on some newer consoles, hence the name.

Team alliance icon


There was once a feature planned to allow alliances and teams in mini games, however this idea was scrapped. Leftover is this graphic along with some unused text regarding teams.

Fire texture placeholder


The fire placeholder texture from as early as the beginning of the Legacy Console Edition still exists in the texture files today. It reads "FIRE TEX! HNST", which is short for "Fire texture! Honest!".

Minecraft icons


Inside almost every .fui file from the Legacy Console Edition there is a 64x64 Minecraft icon whose purpose is unknown. Such an icon is only sometimes seen as world icons. However not every .fui file has one.
