	Specifically, only textures that were ''fully unused'' are included here. Textures that were previously unused but became used in a later update—even if the texture was changed before being used are not included. Examples include cobweb, crying obsidian, calibrated sculk sensor, end stone, and the original two sandstone texture variants. Unused duplicate textures are generally not listed unless they are tied to another unused texture or were changed later on.		Specifically, only textures that were ''fully unused'' are included here.

	Char (BE).png\|<samp>char.png</samp>		The file's presence in Bedrock Edition is a leftover from the early Pocket Edition era, where it served as the default player texture before the skin system was properly implemented . In these early versions, players without jailbroken devices could manually replace char.png in the app's files to change their skin, though this only changed the appearance locally and did not affect how other players saw them . Its all-green appearance in the modern Bedrock codebase is likely a placeholder or a corrupted remnant of that legacy asset, as the game now uses a completely different rendering pipeline and file structure for player skins .

	</div>		While Java Edition also uses a file named char.png (historically the Steve skin), the two are distinct: the Java version was a full player model texture that could be edited in texture packs, whereas the Bedrock file is a vestigial 16x16 green square with no current purpose .
