Bedrock

Obtaining
Bedrock cannot be broken using any tools. It also cannot be moved by pistons or destroyed by explosions that are present in survival gameplay. Bedrock can only be obtained and broken by the creative inventory and commands (especially ). Even if theoretically broken, bedrock would not drop as an item.

Natural generation
Bedrock comprises the bottom-most 5 layers of the Overworld in a rough pattern, although to the 4th layer is predominantly flat bedrock with only rare gaps, rendering the very bottom 5th layer mostly inaccessible. In the Nether, bedrock comprises both the top and bottom 4 layers in a rough pattern. At the top of the Nether, bedrock prevents the player from going past layer 127. It can also be found at the sides of the Nether.

In the End, individual bedrock blocks make up the natural end crystal structure, and the bedrock remains after the destruction of the crystal. Bedrock additionally forms as part of end gateway portals, created when the dragon is killed, and as part of the exit portal which is generated at the center of the central End island.

Usage
Bedrock's primary usage is as a solid unbreakable block. It also prevents mob spawns and is the only solid block that beacon beams can shine through. When placed above a beacon on the Legacy Console Edition, it will turn the beam black.

Additionally, when in the End and set on fire, the fire on bedrock will never go out naturally, similarly to netherrack.

Trivia

 * In the Legacy Console Edition, only the highest layer in the Nether of naturally spawned bedrock is unbreakable.
 * It is possible, but rare, for ore to be found encased in bedrock.
 * Strongholds can cause a bedrock not to form within its bounds.
 * From its addition in Classic through some versions of Alpha, bedrock's texture file was called Rock.png.
 * In Java Edition, the patterns of bedrock are consistent in all worlds regardless of world seed. In Bedrock Edition, the patterns are dependent on the seed in the Overworld, however, they are still consistent in the Nether.
