Placeholder texture

A placeholder block is a block or texture used in place of another block or texture that is missing.

info_update


info_update are a set of two similar debugging/placeholder blocks exclusive to Bedrock Edition that generate in place of blocks that were removed or not yet added.

These blocks are placed in the world when the game detects an invalid block ID.

The block's texture is shared by reserved6.

Missing Texture Block


The Missing Texture Block is actually any block that doesn't have an assigned texture. If a file for a texture does not exist in any resource pack, including the default, it appears as a magenta and black checkerboard texture using the colors ( and ).

Reserved6


Reserved6 is an unused former placeholder block. It acted as a placeholder block for fire between and, due to a bug in fire spreading mechanics that caused fire to spread to any block. Before becoming unused, the block was called .name and it had the texture of a stone block.
