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.

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 in survival mode without hacking, due to the Nether having not been added yet. As of 0.12.1, they can spawn in the Nether.

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 without hacking or editing the inventory. As of 0.12.1, they can spawn in the Nether.

info_reserved6
info_reserved6 {Also Known As The Glitch Stone} is a solid-gray looking block. According to the code, the block's name is "info_reserved6", but in-game, the block appears to be named as ".name". The block was a placeholder for fire, due to a problem with the fire-spreading mechanics. info_reserved6 could only be obtained between and. In, fire was returned with fixed spreading mechanics, replacing info_reserved6. Its data value, however, changed to ID 255. Currently, it can only be obtained through hex editing.

Update Game Block
This block is only used as a placeholder for blocks that have an invalid or unsupported data value.
