Bedrock Edition removed features

Some features have been removed from the Pocket Edition. These features may have been replaced, or a developer decided against the feature later on.

Note that this page only documents game features that were removed, features of a particular game element that were removed are noted in that element's history.

Splashes
When a splash is removed, the line it occupied in splashes.txt is deleted, meaning the line number of all subsequent splashes lowers by one.

Cyan flower
The cyan flower was replaced with the poppy in 0.9.0. However, Johan said it may return.

Camera
The camera entity was never properly implemented and was only available in game through inventory editors. In 0.9.0, the camera entity was removed, however Tomasso said that he thinks it will be back "when have shaders, sharing and redstone".

At the Minecraft Pocket Edition panel at MineCon 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others. In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader "sharing" theme planned for MCPE in the future.

The camera was later stated to be potentially returning to be able to share photos from a potential Oculus Rift MCPE version.

Nether Reactor functions
The functions of the Nether Reactor were removed in 0.12.1 due to the addition of the Nether. The block still exists, but nothing will happen when tapping it.

Nether reactor core
The functionality of the Nether Reactor was removed in Pocket Edition 0.12.1. However, the reactor core block still exists in game, and can be obtained through inventory editing or by retaining it from previous worlds before the update. It now drops its ingredients, allowing players to recover them.

Glowing obsidian
Being a part of the nether reactor, glowing obsidian blocks were also removed in 0.12.1. It emitted a soft red glow at light level 12, and dropped a single obsidian when broken with a diamond pickaxe. It can only be obtained through inventory editing.
