Split-arrows
It has been suggested that this page be split into Java Edition removed blocks and Bedrock Edition removed blocks. [discuss]
If this split may potentially be controversial, do not split until a consensus has been reached.
Reason: This page tries to have level 7 headings which don't exist; a new page would be good to avoid the overload on this page.

This page documents an exhaustive list of blocks which no longer exist in current versions of the game.

Java Edition

This article is about blocks removed from Java Edition. For other removed features, see Java Edition removed features.

Outright removed blocks

Despite having notable unique functionality or a block ID of their own, these blocks were eventually removed by the game, or replaced by another block of completely different use.

Old Colored Wool / Cloth

See also: Wool

Light Gray Cloth Dark Gray Cloth Red Cloth Orange Cloth Yellow Cloth Chartreuse Cloth Green Cloth Spring Green Cloth Cyan Cloth Capri Cloth Ultramarine Cloth Violet Cloth Purple Cloth Magenta Cloth Rose Cloth

Added in Classic, wool had 16 colors. All colors minus white, were removed in late Infdev. With the introduction of Beta 1.2, Colored Wool was re-added, albeit with different colors, though some cloth colors were left behind.

Gears

Gear (N)

Main article: Gear

A fully animated block, it was inaccessible and had no real use other than decoration.

Infinite water and lava source

These blocks persistently generated their respective liquid around them.

Locked chest

Chest JE1

Main article: Locked Chest

A joke block, completely unrelated to the current ability to lock chests via NBT.

Shrub

Main article: Shrub

A block that appeared identical to the dead bush, although possessing a random offset and the drops of grass, as they shared a numerical ID. These were merged into the dead bush in 17w47a.

Blocks replaced by other blocks

These blocks were either made redundant by the later introduction of another block serving their exact purpose, resulting in them either getting merged into said block ID or simply removed from the game, or were simultaneously renamed and retextured while retaining an identical core functionality.

Rose

Rose JE1 Potted Rose JE1

Main article: Rose

The roses were blocks, that could be crafted into 2 rose red. They were added in 0.0.20a and they were renamed to poppy in 13w36a.

Generic dead coral block

Dead Coral Block

Main article: Coral Block

In snapshot 18w09a, all coral blocks had the same texture, colored differently. Because of this, there was only one dead variant needed. By the time of snapshot 18w10a, each color of the coral block had its own unique texture, but would still all die into the same generic dead coral block from the previous snapshot. The generic dead coral block was removed and replaced with dead variants for each color in snapshot 18w10b.

Powered comparator

Main article: Redstone Comparator

During the development for 1.5, the comparator at first used two separate block IDs to represent its powered and unpowered states, with name IDs unpowered_comparator and powered_comparator, and numeric IDs 149 and 150 respectively. As of snapshot 13w05a, the powered_comparator block was removed from use in the game, replaced by a powered block state on the unpowered_comparator block. It is removed completely in snapshot 17w47a for 1.13, as of The Flattening.

Grassless Dirt

From snapshot 13w36a to 14w25a, a form of dirt called "grassless dirt" existed. It had the same texture as dirt, but would not grow grass. In later 1.7 snapshots, it would generate in Savannah M biomes. Grassless dirt dropped regular dirt even when mined with Silk Touch. It was later replaced by coarse dirt.

Blocks resulting from extreme data values

The majority of these blocks were likely never actually meant to exist in-game, and occurred only due to the game handling extreme metadata values as it would those in usually attainable ranges, resulting in strange blocks with traits arguably analogous to garbage data.

Leaves with data value 3, 7, 11, 15

Leaves (data value 3, 7, 11, 15) JE1Leaves (fast data value 3, 7, 11, 15) JE1

From the introduction of leaves in Beta 1.2 onward to the Flattening of 1.13, leaves used numerical data values within the leaves block to hold their type. As only three species existed from Beta 1.2 to release 1.1, with data values 0/1/2 (and by extension 4/5/6, 8/9/10 and 12/13/14), a data value of 3, 7, 11 or 15 would produce an undefined leaf type. This block appeared identical to conventional oak leaves, but appeared to use the spruce tint.

These were substituted out of the game with the first 1.2 release snapshot, as jungle leaves from then on occupied that space in the leaves block.

Seamless smooth stone slabs

Seamless Stone Slab JE2 BE1 Seamless Stone Slab Top JE1 BE1 Smooth Stone JE1 BE1

When new slab types were introduced in Beta 1.3,[verify] slabs with data values up to 7 that exceeded the value of the highest legitimately obtainable slab would use top on all faces.

Two of these were replaced by the brick and stone brick slabs in Beta 1.8 Pre-release, one was replaced by nether brick slabs in snapshot 12w49a for 1.4.6, and the last remaining one was replaced by the quartz slab in 1.5 snapshot 13w02a. The smooth stone block was effectively reimplemented later in 1.5 in snapshot 13w04a by making the upper eight stone slabs use the top texture on all sides (also introducing smooth sandstone and quartz as a result), but the slab version are no longer in the game.

Strange levers

These also had weird distorted models, and could be obtained by loading a world from 1.3 or later containing ceiling levers (0, 7, 8, 15) in 1.2.5.

Blocks in flower pots that should not be in flower pots

From 1.7 onward, as the amount of blocks that could be placed within pots exceeded 15, conventional 4-bit metadata values could not be used to store the contents of a flower pot, and as such a block entity needed to be used instead. This allowed any block (or indeed item) to be placed within a flower pot, but few of these would actually render with the block inside.

In 14w17a, almost certaintly due to changes in how blocks render with them being changed to use block models rather than hardcoded models, these odd pot variants simply rendered as empty pots with no further interesting quirks, aside from the fact that their "invalid" contents could be retrieved from the pot via breaking or later right clicking it. They were completely removed in 17w47a, which split the flower pot block up into an individual block ID per potted object and scrapped the tile entity.

13w36a

The first version to make flower pots use a block entity, the fact that flower pots could hold ferns bled over somewhat into its other damage values, allowing shrubs and grass to exist in pots as well. Also, cobwebs would render if placed in a flower pot, for completely unknown reasons.

In order to be affected by biome coloration, potted ferns/grass/green shrubs needed to have a data value of 11 (the data value formerly belonging to the potted fern) – otherwise they would appear as their raw textures.

14w06a

In this version, a large amount of blocks now render if placed in flower pots via commands. In order to place these with commands, use the following command, with ITEM and DATA substituted with the appropriate values from Java Edition data value/Pre-flattening/Block IDs as neccessary:

/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:flower_pot 0 destroy {Item:ITEM,Data:DATA}

Only blocks that are completely unique in their rendering are shown here; some visually identical blocks do exist that are not listed here separately, such as the early stages of both carrots and potatoes, or potted pumpkins and jack o'lanterns.

The blocks always appear as a cross shape based on their bottom texture. Blocks with translucency appear either completely opaque or, in the case of stained glass, most pixels are invisible.

Some blocks appear tinted by biome if their normal variants usually would be. As leaves were tinted as per their numerical data values, setting the number prior to destroy to 1 for specifically potted leaves causes them to be tinted with the spruce color, and setting it to 2 gives the birch color. 0 or 3 results in them being tinted per biome like oak and jungle leaves are.

14w06b

In 14w06b, likely due to the fix for MC-47469, an additional 57 visually distinct potted objects could be placed:

14w07a

14w07a introduced the iron trapdoor, which rendered in a flower pot.

Removed in 1.8 (14w26a)

These existed due to the previous handling of block variations through metadata, rather than through block states or as separate IDs. Extreme values of these would produce unintended effects.

Faceless pumpkins and jack o'lanterns

It was possible to place pumpkins and jack o'lantern with no actual face using metadata values 5 and above. Their models became missing in 14w10a and they faced removal in snapshot 14w26a like other unintended blocks.

In 17w47a, the faceless pumpkin made a comeback as the proper, default pumpkin block, with the then-current pumpkin being moved to the role of carved pumpkin. The faceless jack o'lantern will likely not be reimplemented.

Faceless and exceptional furnaces

Furnaces (as well as lit furnaces) with metadata values 0, 1, 6, 7, 12 and 13 would have no faces, using the side texture for all orthogonal faces and the usual top and bottom texture on the top and bottom. Furnaces and lit furnaces with data values 8, 9, 10, 11, 14 and 15 would appear normal, but were probably not legitimately obtainable.

Unlike with many blocks, these need to be placed using external editors, as /setblock will always place a furnace which is within the normal range.

All of these invalid furnaces and lit furnaces lost their models in 14w10a, with the exception of the unlit furnace with data value 0, which kept the faceless appearence. The lit furnace with no facing direction regained its model sometime between 14w17a and 14w21b.

Six-sided blocks

The following blocks existed in the game at some point before being phased out with the advent of block states. Whether they will return is not known.

While the hay bale lost its texture in 14w10a like many other blocks, it took until 14w17a for the piston blocks to appear as missing texture blocks.

The six-sided pistons could be obtained without commands using special contraptions that caused pistons to be updated by other pistons in a special way.

Interestingly, other six-sided blocks resulting from similar circumstances such as wood and smooth stone were not removed, and were even given unique block IDs and made craftable in later updates.

Green shrub

Main article: Shrub § History

These blocks had an identical texture to the shrub and dead bush, with the main difference being that it was tinted based on the biome.

Unlike the usual shrub, its inclusion within the game was most likely unintentional, as it became present in the game only after 13w10a (as it crashed the game from 13w02a to 13w09c, and appeared identical to usual grass beforehand), and sported a missing texture after 14w10a like many other undefined blocks.

Overgrown cocoa

Cocoa has twelve possible block state combinations, as it has four possible orientations coupled with three distinct stages of growth. Before the introduction of proper block states, this therefore meant that twelve of the possible sixteen metadata variants were actually used, resulting in the uppermost four exhibiting interesting undefined behavior.

From their introduction up until and including 13w01b, they used the dragon egg texture, which makes sense as the dragon egg texture was directly to the left of the cocoa pod texture in terrain.png. From 13w10a up to 14w06, it appeared as a broken cocoa pod, and from then on up to its removal it used the missing texture.

Overgrown wheat

Because wheat has eight distinct growth stages, the other upper eight values went completely unused. As a result, for a relatively long period of time, wheat crops with such values would see vast unintentional changes, as the textures they would try to pull from would end up overflowing over to the next line of terrain.png.

This included the textures commonly speculated to be for chair and table blocks. Whether Notch was using extreme inaccessible wheat values as a way to test chair models is highly unlikely, although still possible.

Overgrown melon and pumpkin stems

Melon and pumpkin stems also have eight distinct stages of growth. However, instead of having eight individual textures for each of the eight growth stages, each stage reveals two more pixels of the stem texture from the top down, and the tint applied to the stem texture also changes. As a result, since the stems have eight unused upper values in addition to the eight lower used states, the upper states start pulling from the texture below the stem texture on the texture atlas currently in use, and they use extreme tints that cannot normally be applied in normal gameplay. Their wireframe hitboxes would also appear to extend above the bounds of the block when targeted, but attempting to target anything above the height of the block would result in the stem not actually being targeted.

Overeaten cakes

There are six different states cake can legitimately be in: either intact, or in one of five progressively more eaten states, which was kept track of via block metadata like with many other blocks. Like with many blocks previously showcased, only some of these states were truly legitimately accessible. As such, interesting behavior is demonstrated by the inaccessible states.

Cakes with six bites, while obtainable now, were never actually obtainable in the game during the time when these odd overeaten cakes existed. Cakes with seven bites were completely two-dimensional, and cakes with eight through fifteen bites appeared especially glitchy, proceeding to invert themselves, such that their textures would be visible only on the inside rather than the outside, and these textures would be borrowed from adjacent spots of the texture atlas currently in use. Their wireframe hitboxes would also visually extend in this direction, but they would actually be able to be targeted only by aiming at the portion of that hitbox within the block the cake is really situated. Collision boxes for these are similarly odd.

No longer present in the game

Minor removed block variants

Certain blocks had removed variants with minor, but still notable, quirks.

Invisible stairs

Originally, stair blocks with data values 4 through 15 would be completely invisible and have no collisions the only indication of their existence being their full block hitbox outline when targeted.

In 12w08a, these data values would go on to be used for the newly implemented upside down stairs. Data values 8 through 15 would appear to just be duplicates of 0 through 15, and were probably unused in themselves until their removal. These last eight were removed in 14w26a, like other invalid blocks. They also never used the missing texture.

Wall sign with full block hitbox
Full hitbox wall sign

Signs used block metadata values 2, 3, 4 and 5 to determine their facing direction. As a result, signs placed with data values 0, 1 or anything 6 and above would always appear facing south, and have the wireframe hitbox (but not physical collision box) of a full block.

These were probably removed in mid 1.8 like many other such blocks.

Invisible random ladders

Ladders also used block metadata values 2, 3, 4 and 5 to determine their facing direction. As a result, ladders placed with data values 0, 1 or anything 6 and above exhibited behaviour atypical of normal ladders. Notably, they would appear to readily switch what block face they were attached to (sometimes seemingly randomly, but could be controlled by looking at a valid ladder, in which case they end up switching to whatever its hitbox was), which could be seen through their wireframe hitbox and their collision box. Initially they would be full cubes.

For most of their existence they appeared completely invisible, although in 14w07a they changed to appearing as small missing texture cubes centered on the block. They became full missing texture cubes in 14w10a.

These were probably removed in mid 1.8 like many other such blocks.

Vines with data value 0 also appeared as small missing texture cubes, however they still exist in 1.16.3 (as vines with all states set to false).

Incorrectly modelled torches

When block metadata was still in use, torches used state 5 for normal floor attachment and 1, 2, 3 and 4 for wall torches. 0, 6 and 7 appear to be unused, and are visually identical to normal torches. 0 can only be obtained via external editors, and oddly not by setblock.

Torches with data values 8 and up appear to exhibit interesting behaviour: 8, 13, 14 and 15 appeared and behaved as normal floor torches. However, 9, 10, 11 and 12 would have the wireframe hitboxes of wall torches, but would appear as floor torches, causing the hitbox to be detached from the torch.

Redstone torches are affected in much the same way.

Loading a chunk with these in 14w06a causes a game crash. These became small missing cubes in 14w06b before graduating to full missing cubes in 14w10a until their removal in what is almost certaintly 14w26a.

Strange buttons

Note: due to the inconsistent nature of these blocks, certain details are not fully confirmed.

In 1.7.10, using commands to place a button with data value 0, 13, 14 or 15 will result in very odd behaviour. The button will appear as a full oak planks or stone block, until (possibly) another button is observed or an item of said button is obtained, at which point it will use item model of button. They do not appear to change shape when pressed in either case.

Much information regarding these buttons remains unknown as these are very inconsistent in their behaviour and also somewhat unstable, breaking frequently, and their behaviour probably also changes drastically per version. Despite never actually changing data value, they seem to differently register what block face theyare attached to each time.

What exactly the other data values of buttons were that were unused and eventually removed are unknown.

Bottomless and bricking hoppers

Hoppers with a metadata value of 1 or 9 would previously not actually appear to point in any direction. Like many of these removed blocks, they had a missing model from 14w10a up to their removal.

Using /setblock to place a hopper with metadata values 6, 7, 14 or 15 would crash the game and permanently prevent that world from being loaded, although it may be possible to recover using external editors.

Nether portal post
Main article: Nether Portal (block)

In 1.7.2's development, nether portals placed with data value 3 resulted in a vertical nether portal beam block.

Boring variants

Prior to the introduction of proper block states, the 0–15 block metadata system applied to all blocks. This had absolutely no effect on the majority of blocks. All interesting cases are mentioned in above sections – those which remain are listed below.

All of these gained a missing model in 14w10a and were removed in 14w26a (with increasingly unstable behavior in 14w25a and 14w25b, usually causing game crashes when approached) unless explicitly stated otherwise.

There were a total of X of these boring blocks prior to their removal, listed in the sections below.

Blocks which did not use block metadata at all
Blocks which used only some of the available block metadata
Boring variants eventually replaced with normal blocks
This section is missing information about Test these:
  • planks
  • jungle logs
  • sandstone
  • quartz pillars
  • slabs
  • stone
  • chiseled stone bricks
  • wool
  • sand
  • infested stone brick variants. 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Removed in 1.13 (17w47a)

These were the result of block state hand,ing combined with the old block ID system, resulting in some odd combinations.

Redundant seamless double slabs

Seamless cobblestone

In 13w04a, double stone slabs were changed so that those with data values 8 through 15 would use the top texture on all six sides. This resulted in the return of the block which would several years later become smooth stone, and also introduced the smooth sandstone and smooth quartz blocks. However, as the smooth stone double slab block also housed the cobblestone, old (later petrified) oak, bricks, stone bricks and nether bricks slabs, these would also end up having "seamless" double slab variants which were visually no different from their normal double slabs or indeed their normal blocks. These blocks persisted up to 17w47a, where they were removed by the Flattening.

Snowy dirt and snowy coarse dirt

As podzol was a numerical variant of dirt prior to 1.13, the snowy block state it used also ended up applying to dirt and coarse dirt, with no effect. These were removed in 1.13.

Bedrock Edition

This article is about blocks removed from Bedrock Edition. For other removed features, see Bedrock Edition removed features.

Outright removed blocks

Despite having notable unique functionality or a block ID of their own, these blocks were eventually removed by the game, or replaced by another block of completely different use.

Block 253

In early Pocket Edition, there existed a block which used model of grass block in item form. This block used the numeric ID 253. The block is possibly carried due to not having bottom textures.[1][2]

It was removed in Pocket Edition v0.8.0 alpha build 2, likely due to item rendering changes in this version. Numeric ID now refers to hardened glass.

Block 254

Block 254 was used to store the item model of leaves for both the item and block forms, similarly to block 253, but also in block form tinted as regular leaves. Block 254 with damage values 0, 1 and 2 were tinted with
 #48b518
,
 #619961
and
 #80a755
, respectively.

An '''enchanted book''' is an [[item]] that lets players add [[enchantments]] to certain items using an [[anvil]].

=== Chest loot ===

==== Level-30 books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book}}

==== Random enchantment books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd}}

==== Soul Speed books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-soul-speed}}

==== Swift Sneak books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-swift-sneak}}

===Fishing===
Enchanted books can be obtained as a "treasure" item from [[fishing]] with a [[fishing rod]] as part of the "treasure" category. The book has the equivalent of a level 30 enchantment from an enchantment table, but treasure enchantments are available and the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell enchanted books as part of their trades at novice, apprentice, and journeyman-level, and have {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell enchanted books at expert-level as part of their trades, meaning each librarian villager can sell up to four books. The price ranges between 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book. Based on the level of the enchantment and whether it is classified as a "[[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]]" (meaning they are not obtainable by enchanting, e.g. [[Mending]]), which doubles the cost, or not a price is determined.

They may contain any available enchantment (except Soul Speed and Swift Sneak) at any available level. See [[Trading#cite_note-enchanted-book-10|trading notes]] for more information on enchantments and prices.

===Drops ===
Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment, which may be a treasure enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}

===Enchanting===

[[File:Enchanted Book 4x.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple high level enchantments.]]
[[File:Similar enchantments.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple enchantments that can be applied to the same item.]]

Players can create an enchanted book by enchanting a [[book]] on an [[enchantment table]]. Books have a decreased chance of getting multiple enchantments (specifically, if multiple enchantments would be added, then one is removed at random), and have a lower "enchantability level" than most other items. Treasure enchantments such as Mending cannot be obtained from an enchantment table.

=== Bartering ===
Players can barter with [[piglin]]s by using or throwing [[gold ingot]]s, and doing so has a {{frac|5|459}} chance for piglins to give the player an enchanted book with any level of [[Soul Speed]]. Soul Speed enchanted books are only obtainable through [[bartering]], [[chest]] loot inside a bastion remnant, and [[fishing]]. They cannot be obtained through [[enchanting]] or [[trading]].

== Usage ==
{{see also|Anvil mechanics}}

In Survival, enchanted books are the only method to obtain certain enchantments on certain tools, such as Unbreaking on [[shield]]s. Enchanted books have a shine effect on their sprite.

To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an [[anvil]], and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of [[experience]]. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil. Enchanted books themselves can be combined to create a single book with increased or multiple enchantments, similar to combining tools or weapons.  

When combining items, the compatible enchantments from the book in the second slot are transferred to the item from the first slot, keeping the highest level of any type. If two enchantments have the same level and a higher level is available, they combine into the next level. If a book is applied to an item that can't take all of its spells, the appropriate spells are transferred, while the unusable ones are lost. Enchanted books are single-use. 

Enchanted books do not exhibit their enchantment. For example, a book with Sharpness IV as an enchantment does no more damage than an un-enchanted book, or any non-weapon item, would when used as a weapon. An exception is the Fire Aspect book which can ignite TNT and light campfires and the Mending book if the block mined can be broken by fist.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Available items ===
{{See also|Enchantments}}

Enchanted books can enchant the usual items that can be enchanted at an [[enchanting table]], but ''unlike an enchanting table'', they are able to boost enchantments such as Sharpness or Thorns to their maximum power, and may apply the following enchantments to items (the table displays only netherite tools and armor, but any type can be enchanted):
<!-- do not change the items listed in this table. It is supposed to show the items that can receive these enchantments from an enchanted book, but are NOT possible through an enchanting table. -->

=== Creative mode ===

The player can enchant any item with any enchantment in [[Creative]] mode, allowing any applied effects to exhibit themselves.{{only|java}} For example, a [[stick]] can be enchanted with [[Silk Touch]] to allow the player to successfully dig [[grass block]]s. The enchanted item can still be used in Survival mode without any loss of enchantments.

Enchantments that are normally incompatible are still incompatible; for example, Piercing and Multishot cannot be both applied to the same item, even in Creative mode.

If a block is enchanted, it loses the enchantment upon being placed in the world.

=== Disenchanting ===
Disenchanting an enchanted book at a [[grindstone]] yields a normal [[book]] and some experience depending on the quality of the book.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having an enchanted book in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

Enchanted books use an NBT tag <code>StoredEnchantments</code> to indicate the enchantment. 
The allowed sub-tags are <code>id</code> and <code>lvl</code>, equivalent to the format of the <code>Enchantments</code> tag that is used for enchantments applied to items.

''The following NBT structure is provided to show how the <code>StoredEnchantments</code> tag is organized, and is not comprehensive above the <code>tag</code> tag. The full NBT for an item can be found [[Chunk format#Items_and_XP_Orbs|here]].''

== Usage ==

When {{control|used}} on a [[mob]], a [[fence]], or a [[wall]], balloons attach to the mob or block, similarly to a [[lead]]. Balloons float into the air faster than the speed the [[player]] flies up, but remain grounded if tied to a fence. If tied to a mob, the balloon floats away and carries the mob into the air, before both eventually [[despawn]] or disappear.

When a balloon is shot by an [[arrow]] or a [[trident]], or floats into a solid block, it pops, summons [[particles]], and is destroyed. It drops nothing. A balloon tied to a fence post bursts when a player strikes it in any direction.

A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

{{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.

Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.

=== Chest Loot ===

{{LootChestItem|water-bucket}}

== Usage ==
{{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed.

=== Dispensers ===
A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated.

=== Cauldrons ===
A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons.

=== Filling bucket with mobs ===
Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]].

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}}
Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing.

Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them.

'''Raw chicken''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]]. It can be cooked in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or a [[campfire]] to make [[cooked chicken]].

==Obtaining==

===Mob loot ===

Upon death, an adult [[chicken]] drops 1 raw chicken. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1-4 with Looting III. Chickens that die while on [[fire]] drop [[cooked chicken]] instead.

===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance to give the [[player]] a gift as they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be raw chicken.

==Usage==

=== Food===

To eat raw chicken, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} hunger and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]], but has a 30% chance of inflicting food poisoning (the {{EffectLink|link=Hunger (status effect)|Hunger}} effect for 30 seconds).

<nowiki>*This has a similar effect as [[Rotten Flesh]].

===Smelting ingredient===

{{Smelting

===Wolves===

Raw chicken can be used to [[breed]] and heal tamed [[wolves]], lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Wolves are at no risk of food poisoning.

===Trading===
Novice-level Butcher villagers have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to buy 14 raw chicken for an emerald.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level Butcher villagers have a 50% chance of offering to buy 14 raw chicken for an emerald.{{only|java}}

<samp>'''debug_fourj_item'''</samp> is an unobtainable item exclusive to the [[Legacy Console Edition]] and can only be obtained through modding the game. It has the texture of a [[barrier]], no "What's this?" hint and no display name.

==Obtaining==
The only way to obtain this item is via inventory editors and other external tools.

==Usage==
The purpose of this item is unknown, and it cannot be placed. Although the ID<ref name="r">[https://youtu.be/IscH0rUw_20 "マインクラフト WiiU 全面の木、偽バリアブロックのアイテムID公開"] - YouTube, March 26, 2019</ref> suggests that it was used for debugging and testing purposes.

build 2block id 254 has been removed, likely due to item rendering changes in this version.
?Numeric ID now refers to hardened glass.

Blocks replaced by other blocks

These blocks were either made redundant by the later introduction of another block serving their exact purpose, resulting in them either getting merged into said block ID or simply removed from the game, or were simultaneously renamed and retextured while retaining an identical core functionality.

Rose

Rose BE1
Main article: Rose

Roses in Pocket Edition had an exclusive blue texture. As a result, they were informally referred to as the "cyan flower", despite this never actually being an official name (the in-game name remained Rose for as long as it and item names existed).

In a video preview of Pocket Edition on the Xperia PLAY, a blue rose was visible.[3] Jeb stated that they exist as a replacement for Java Edition roses, following some hardware problems.

Blue roses are not planned to be added in Java Edition,[4] and they were replaced by Poppies in Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha. However, Johan Bernhardsson said they may return.[5]

They were purely decorative, serving no other function. They could not be used in crafting in any way.

Blocks resulting from extreme data values

The majority of these blocks were likely never actually meant to exist in-game, and occurred only due to the game handling extreme metadata values as it would those in usually attainable ranges, resulting in strange blocks with traits arguably analogous to garbage data.

Seamless smooth stone slabs

Seamless Stone Slab JE2 BE1 Seamless Stone Slab Top JE1 BE1 Smooth Stone JE1 BE1

Like with Java Edition, this block existed in the game at one point.[2] It has almost certaintly been removed, but when is unknown.

Six-sided blocks

Bedrock Edition had a handful of versions of "pillar"-type blocks which used side textures on all six sides. These were effectively removed in an unknown version, forcing them to appear identical to normal such pillars, either by changing their models to that of the normal y-axis pillar or just directly changing them (which method was ized is unknown).

Mutilated piston

Weird Piston

Piston with data values 6 and 7 (almost certainly analogous to Java Edition's six-sided pistons) existed for a time with this model.

This was almost certainly added alongside the usual piston blocks, but this is yet to be confirmed. When it was removed is not known, but it was sometime between 1.10.0 and 1.13.0.

Granite, polished granite and diorite bells

Granite Bell Polished Granite Bell Diorite Bell

Upon their introduction to Bedrock Edition, bells using the textures of granite, polished granite and diorite also existed. They could only be placed by commands, but could also be found in villages.

It is extremely likely that these were the result of the bell being incompletely programmed. The bell can face four directions, and at this point there were four different types of bell (the stone bell alongside these three), which would correspond to the four orthogonal facing directions. Since at this point granite and diorite were stored as data value of stone, it seems reasonable to expect that these would result from drawing from that data value of the used stone texture. Attempting to place a bell with data value 4 or above would fail; there were as a result no polished diorite, andesite or polished andesite bells, as these would not have any facing directions to correspond to. As they later spawned in villages, this would also imply that these were intended to be directional bells.

Bell-less Block

There had been an unused bell which consists of the stand without a bell. This bell cannot be rung, but it will drop a normal bell when broken.

It was merged into the normal version of the block in an unknown update.

Locked Smoker, Blast Furnace, Lectern, and Barrel

There were also several unused blocks which were in a locked state. These blocks cannot be opened or used by the player (their GUI does not show up, but the player hand can still perform an action).

It was merged into the normal version of the block in an unknown update.

Smokeless Campfire

Campfires updated from beta 1.10.0 to 1.11.0 did not produce smoke particles because campfires in 1.10.0 had no functionality. Their difference in the code is not known.

It was merged into the normal version of the block in an unknown update.
