User:Chello1801/Sandbox/Legacy Console Edition unused features

Since the beginning of Minecraft's development, there have been a number of features added to the game that has little to no actual use. Some of these features are leftovers from removed features, or simply placeholders for new features in future updates.

Note: For most of the unused features listed here an external inventory or NBT editor is required to obtain these in-game.

Command blocks
All three variants of the command block are unused and normally unobtainable without inventory editors. When modded into the game they are non-functional however.

Barrier
They are however not fully functional, as they will cast shadows like normal blocks upon placing them. Barriers are in the game, but are however not fully working as intended, as they will cast shadows like normal blocks upon placing them on solid blocks, making them somewhat visible. They were also used in the Aquatic Update tutorial world once but were removed again.

debug_fourj_item
This item has the texture of a barrier and no display name. It can't be placed and has no actual use for anything. Although it's ID suggests that it was used for debugging and testing purposes.

Minecart with command block
When placed it appears and acts like a normal minecart.

Spectral arrow
Not normally seen in-game, but can be obtained via modding. When shot it has the particle effect, but it lacks the Glowing status effect.

Wood
Wood is a block that has the logs side texture on all six sides. It comes in all six log variants.

Cavern testing area
In the Battlemode map Cavern there is a out-of-bounds area that can't be accessed without hacking. It seems to be a testing area used to test various aspects of the game in Battlemode.
