Bedrock Edition removed recipes

This page documents a list of recipes which no longer exist in current versions of Bedrock Edition.

Cocoa beans
In Pocket Edition v0.8.0 alpha build 3, cocoa beans were added with their own exclusive recipe. Since v0.9.0 build 1, cocoa beans were made able to be obtained with cocoa pods. In the v0.16.0 official release, cocoa beans' crafting recipe was removed.

The recipe was removed because cocoa beans could be obtained from cocoa pods. It was reported by a user in the issue tracker and was confirmed as an unintended feature.

Enchanted golden apple
The enchanted golden apple recipe was removed in 1.2 beta 1.2.0.2.

However, enchanted golden apples may still be obtained in other ways.

Bed
The recipe of crafting the red bed with any wool color was removed in Pocket Edition 1.1.0 with the addition of multiple colored beds. This recipe was removed because prior to 1.1.0, only red beds existed in the game, and now it is required to have matching red wool to craft a red bed.

Old Stonecutter
In v0.13.0 build 1, the crafting recipe for the old stonecutter was removed, but it is only available through add-ons.

In Bedrock Edition beta 1.10.0.3, the old stonecutter was not removed but functionally replaced with the new stonecutter.

Nether reactor core
The nether reactor core's recipe was made no longer available and it no longer appears in the creative inventory. It will drop its ingredients when broken.

Smooth stone slab
In older versions, the smooth stone slab (called Stone Slab then) could be crafted using any stone. However, the recipe changed to use stone only in 1.2.0, and in 1.9.0, the recipe changed again so it requires smooth stone.

Stone bricks
In older versions, stone bricks could be crafted using cobblestone, andesite, granite, diorite, and their polished variants. However, in 1.2.0, stone bricks were changed to be crafted with stone only.

Redstone repeater
In older versions, redstone repeaters could be crafted using cobblestone, andesite, granite, diorite, and their polished variants. However, in 1.2.0, the recipes changed to use only stone.

Redstone comparator
In older versions, redstone comparators could be crafted using cobblestone, andesite, granite, diorite, and their polished variants. However, in 1.2.0, the recipes changed to use only stone.

Sandstone and red sandstone stairs
Sandstone and red sandstone stairs were previously crafted from any type of Sandstone or Red Sandstone, but in Bedrock Edition 1.9.0, the recipe changed to use regular sandstone or red sandstone only.

Sandstone and red sandstone slab
Sandstone and red sandstone slabs were previously crafted from any type of sandstone or red sandstone, but in Bedrock Edition 1.9.0, the recipe changed to use regular sandstone or red sandstone only.

Honeycomb Block
Honeycomb blocks were previously crafted from 9 honeycombs. Now, honeycomb block can be crafted from 4 honeycombs.

Copper Horn
The Copper Horn was an item used to play sound, which had 10 variations; each of them could play 3 different sounds when looking up, crouching, or doing neither of those, respectively. In total, there were 30 different sounds that could be played using copper horns.

In beta 1.19.0.24, the Copper Horn was removed. Mojang in the Minecraft Feedback's Knowledge Base said "the Copper Horn was a fun experiment that didn't quite live up to our design goals, so we decided to remove it".

String
In Pocket Edition alpha 1.1.0.3, an exclusive recipe of using one cobweb to craft 9 string was added. In Bedrock Edition beta 1.20.10.20, the recipe was removed to match.

Red dye
The reason for the removal of the red dye recipe is unknown. It may have been because of the name being "rose red", implying it came from roses instead of mushrooms, although the name was changed to "red dye" in 1.8.0.
