Cog

A Cog was a block that was leaked and was supposed to be added to Indev. However, they were only obtainable by hacking and had no purpose.

Usage
Cogs could only be placed on a side of a block, placing them in a space where two sides are next to each other would cause two cogs to appear on both sides. Placed cogs were impossible to destroy; any mining directed at a cog phased through to the block behind it, much like Water. If the block a cog was on was destroyed, the cog was not removed, but oddly, was invisible. The cog still existed in the map and would show up again if the block was replaced. Cogs placed in mid-air using a map editor were also invisible and would show up if a block was placed next to them. Cogs can be only removed using water to flow on them. Cogs do not show up on non-solid blocks. A cog's sprite consisted of two parts; the center rod and the animated gear.

Removal
Cogs were deemed removed from the game when their data value was taken by Redstone and their sprites and code deleted from Minecraft's files. It is unknown what cogs' real purpose was, and will never be known due to them being removed. It is impossible in all recent versions to obtain cogs in-game.
