Java Edition removed blocks

This article is about what removed block IDs convert to, as well as to link to pages listing removed data variants of blocks. For blocks removed from Java Edition, see Removed blocks. For other removed features, see Java Edition removed features. For removed block variants in Bedrock Edition, see Bedrock Edition removed blocks.

Due to there currently not being a wide variety of blocks removed from any edition, all such cases are listed on the main Removed blocks page. This page lists all Java Edition block ID conversions, as well as linking to diverse lists of removed data variants of blocks.

• /Metadata variants - Variants of blocks specified by metadata which have been removed
• /Metadata variants/Recontinued - Variants of blocks specified by metadata which eventually became used by intentionally-available blocks
• /Data variants - Variants of blocks specified by block entities and NBT

Numeric ID replacements

Prior to 17w47a, block IDs were stored internally as integer values. As a result, certain removed blocks would end up having their numeric IDs used by another block from a future version. The table below lists all such conversions.
