Bedrock Edition unused features

This page is about features that were added to Pocket Edition, but have no actual use or are simply placeholders for new features.

Mobs

 * Magma Cube

In Alpha 0.11.0, magma cubes were added into the game along with its spawn egg, but could not spawn naturally into the game without hacking, due to the Nether having not been added yet.


 * Ghast

Ghasts were also added in Alpha 0.11.0, and could not be spawned legitimately into the game due to the same reasons as Magma cubes. Unlike its other Nether mob, Ghast spawn eggs are unobtainable in both creative and survival witbout hacking or editing the inventory.

Blocks & Items

 * info_reserved6

info_reserved6 was a placeholder for fire from Alpha 0.3.3 to Alpha 0.7.0 due to a spreading error. In those versions, it was possible to obtain it in the inventory, and looked like a sheet of stone. When fire was reimplemented, it was replaced, but its ID changed to 255. It can be currently obtained through hex editing.


 * Update Game Block

This block is only used for blocks that have an invalid or unsupported data value.
