Minecraft:Bedrock Edition removed features

Since the beginning of the development of

1. REDIRECT Template:Editions

Template:Redr, there have been a number of features that were removed from the game. These features may have been replaced, or a developer decided against the feature later on.

Note: This page only documents game features that were removed; features of an existing game element that were removed are noted in that element's history. See Minecraft:Bedrock Edition unused features for features that are still currently in the game.

Items

Copper Horn

File:Copper Horn BE2.png

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote The copper horn was an item used to play sound. There were 10 variations of copper horns, and each of them played 3 different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or doing neither of those. In total, there were 30 different sounds that could be played using copper horns.

In the beta 1.19.0.24, the Copper Horn was removed. Mojang in the Minecraft Feedback's Knowledge Base saids "the Copper Horn was a fun experiment that didn't quite live up to our design goals, so we decided to remove it".<ref>https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/5540500564365-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-1-19-0-24-25#Removed%20Copper%20Horn</ref>

Structures

Nether reactor

File:Nether Reactor.png

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Prior to Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha, a Nether reactor could be activated in survival by tapping its core, sending the client message "Active!". Immediately after activation, a massive 35×17×17 structure of Minecraft:netherrack with multiple rooms, unofficially referred to as a "Nether Spire",<ref name="johan 0.5.0 vid2">https://www.twitch.tv/jbernhardsson/b/337680976</ref> was generated around the reactor, then the cobblestone would turn to glowing obsidian and pigmen would start spawning along with Nether related items such as quartz. Over time the reactor would cool, and once it diminished the glowing obsidian would turn into normal obsidian. The reactor was constructed by placing gold blocks, Minecraft:cobblestone, and a Nether reactor core in the 3×3×3 arrangement shown below. The Nether Reactor's functions were removed after the Nether was added into Pocket Edition, but can still be obtained, without its functionality, using an external editor.

Gameplay

Splashes

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

It is unknown why most of the splashes were removed. Most were following the purchase of Minecraft by Microsoft.

Sprinting in water

Prior to Minecraft:Bedrock Edition beta 1.2.13.8 the player could sprint in Minecraft:water. This feature was removed soon after due to the new swimming mechanic. In Mobile on Bedrock Edition however, you can still do that by sprinting first then hold sprint and one of the buttons that uses to go up in the water simultaneously.

Enhanced underwater visibility

Before Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.4.0, wearing an enchanted Minecraft:helmet with the Respiration enchantment would boost underwater vision. The higher the level, the better it improved the player's vision. This enhanced vision has since been removed, due to the Minecraft:water texture being changed and because the player can now see clearly underwater without effects or enchantments. However, Night Vision is still required for better visibility. Also, enhanced underwater vision is still obtainable from other methods, such as Conduit Power from Minecraft:conduits added in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.5.0.

Old user interfaces

There have been many UIs that have been changed, such as the crafting table. The crafting table UI has changed since Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.2.0, but before that version, the crafting table had already previously been changed. Early UI for the crafting table had text showing item information could be crafted. This is similar to the stonecutter UI, which later changed in Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha build 1. From v0.13.0, when the crafting table's UI was changed, the stonecutter UI was completely removed and its use was re-purposed to a decorative block. Also, the Minecraft:furnace text of output items and information of that item could be used.

As the old UIs were removed, the text informations shown in these UIs were also removed.

Tilling grass

In older versions, tilling a grass block with a Minecraft:hoe had a small chance of dropping wheat seeds. This feature was removed in alpha v0.12.1.

Always active powered rails

Prior to Pocket Edition v0.13.0 alpha build 1, any placed powered rail would be always active. This was because Minecraft:redstone mechanics did not exist at the time.

Pre-loaded items

Before the Better Together update, creating a world in Creative mode always had a full hotbar, which included oak saplings, bricks, oak planks, spruce planks, cobblestone walls, dirt, etc. (dependent on the sixth to ninth hotbar slots).

Accidental Education Edition additions

Several features intended to be exclusive to

1. REDIRECT Template:Edition

Template:Rcat were accidentally added in the first build of Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.16.0 alpha, and were removed shortly after. Among these features were the Minecraft:Allow block, Minecraft:Deny block, Minecraft:chalkboard block, Minecraft:border block and the Minecraft:portfolio item. Some of these items were readded in 1.12.0, 1.13.0, and 1.16.0.

Entities

Instant chicken jockeys

Prior to Pocket Edition v0.14.0 alpha build 1, chicken jockeys had a chance of spawning from Minecraft:zombies, zombified piglins, and their spawn eggs. At that time, baby zombies and baby zombified piglins had a 5% chance to spawn as a chicken jockey. However, as of v0.14.0 build 1, chicken jockeys were partially removed and no longer spawn naturally, but baby zombies, baby zombie villagers and baby husks have a 15% chance to spawn as a jockey when trying to attack the player, Minecraft:villagers, iron golems or snow golems. Said jockeys will seek and mount nearby Minecraft:mobs that can be ridden, such as cows, zombie villagers, spiders, and Minecraft:horses. However, baby zombified piglins did not have the ability to mount nearby mobs, causing zombified piglin chicken jockeys to be completely removed.

Chickens spawning in the Nether

Due to the natural zombified piglin chicken jockey removal, chickens are no longer able to spawn naturally in the Nether, as zombified piglins will no longer spawn as zombified piglin chicken jockeys.

Hostile zombified piglin drops and behavior

Before Pocket Edition v0.11.0 alpha, zombified piglins dropped Minecraft:feathers as common drops and Minecraft:potatoes or Minecraft:carrots as rare drops. This was changed in v0.11.0 build 1; in this update, the zombified piglin's common drop was changed to rotten flesh and its rare drop was changed to gold ingots. In Alpha 0.12.1 build 1, gold nuggets were also added as common drops.

Before Alpha 0.12.1 build 1, zombified piglins were hostile mobs that burned in sunlight but were also immune to fire. However, during this time, fire particles would still be shown around them, even though the zombified piglins themselves did not take any damage. During this time, they also lacked a hat layer, moved slowly, and both of their hands did not draw up. In Alpha 0.11.0 build 1, they had a chicken jockey variant, but in v0.14.0 build 1, their chicken jockey variant was removed and prior to v0.12.1 build 1, the only way to make the variant spawn naturally was from an active Nether reactor core. In v0.14.0 build 1, adult zombified piglins were mountable by the baby zombified variants. In v0.12.0, zombie pigmen had a small chance to spawn with armor but then removed.

Tamed ocelots

Ocelots were tameable by feeding them raw cod or raw salmon to transform them into cats. However, in Beta 1.8.0.8, ocelots and cats became separate mobs, and giving them any type of fish will just breed them and gain the trust of the player and increase baby ocelot growth speed by 10% rather than taming them.

Mob behavior

Magma cubes taking damage when wet

Magma cubes previously took damage when they became wet, as the vanilla behavior pack had the magma cube's behavior magma_cube_hurt_when_wet set to true. Magma cubes would also take damage if exposed to sunlight or moonlight during rain and while in the water. However, as of an unknown build in 1.1, this feature was considered a bug and removed, as its vanilla behavior of taking damage when wet was set to false again.

Horses

When Minecraft:horses were added, they used an older model, which was replaced with a newer model in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition beta 1.2.6.2. In the earlier versions of v0.15.0 builds, horses could be tamed by feeding them food, although this feature was removed and now the player is required to mount the horse to tame it.

Breedable dolphins

When the dolphin was added in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition beta 1.2.20.1, it was breedable by feeding them raw cod or raw salmon. However, in beta 1.5.0.0, feeding a dolphin with raw fish will make it swim toward the nearest ocean ruins or shipwreck. Baby dolphins can only spawn naturally in the ocean and not via breeding.

Villagers avoiding monsters

At an earlier version where Minecraft:villagers were added to the game, they would avoid any type of monster, including neutral mobs such as endermen and spiders. However, in Pocket Edition v0.12.0 alpha, this feature was removed, as villagers now only avoid zombie variants and Minecraft:illagers as of Minecraft:Pocket Edition 1.1.0

Baby mobs with adult sounds

In earlier versions of Minecraft:Pocket Edition Alpha, all baby versions of mobs used the same sounds as their adult counterparts, rather than the high-pitched versions that they use now.

Burning attack

In Minecraft:Pocket Edition Alpha, if a mob that is set on fire attacks another mob, the mob would always transfer its burning effect to the mob it attacked. For mobs that could fire a projectile, such as the Snow Golem, its projectiles would always be set on fire. However, as of an Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.16.0 alpha build 1, burning attacks now depend on regional difficulty.

Mobs always dropping armor but not items

In Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha, mobs could spawn with equipment, but if the mob was killed, it would always drop its armor, even when killed from cacti, falling, drowning, or otherwise dying. However, they would never drop an item held in their hand (an exception was the Minecraft:witch, which would always drop whichever potion it was drinking upon death).

As of 1.2.0, this feature was removed, and now a mob with a weapon and/or armor equipped will drop any of its equipped items when killed by a player, and only at an 8.5% chance for each item. This includes potions dropped by Minecraft:witches.

Mobs breathing in lava

Previously, any mobs under the Fire Resistance effect could stay submerged under lava without suffocation. As of an unknown update, this feature was removed and only some mobs, such as the Blaze and the Ghast, are able to breathe in lava. Now, the player and most other mobs require either the Water Breathing or Conduit Power status effects in order to breathe in lava.

Old mob death animation

Before Pocket Edition v0.11.0 alpha, mobs would jump and then disappear when killed by the player; this was later changed to the mob falling into the ground and then disappearing, just like in Java Edition.

Guardians attacking fish

In beta 1.2.14.2, guardians were hostile toward cod, salmon, pufferfish, and tropical fish, but this feature was removed in the 1.6.0 betas due to a performance issue with low-end devices when the player is near a monument.

Particles

Template:Message box For testing purposes, some particles which couldn't generate naturally were added in several versions.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> However, these particles have since been removed.

Food

Healing

Prior to Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha build 1, eating food would heal the player directly. With the addition of the hunger bar, this feature was removed.

Pufferfish

Before Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha build 1, eating pufferfish would not inflict the poison status effect.

World generation

Biomes

Biomes prior to Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha

Before Alpha 0.9.0, many biomes existed, most of which were removed. Biomes prior to Alpha 0.9.0 are identical to Java Edition's biomes between the Halloween Update and the Adventure Update, as well as Legacy Console Edition's biomes before TU5.

Biomes that got removed in Alpha 0.9.0:

• Rainforest
• Seasonal Forest
• Shrubland
• Swampland (Older version)
• Savanna (Older version)
• Tundra
• Beaches (Minecraft:Sand and Minecraft:Gravel, prior to Adventure Update).

Before Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.2.0, temperature didn't reduce with height, as a result, rain always occurred regardless of altitude and extreme hills and its variants didn't generate snow above Y=90.

Villages

Gravel paths

Before Pocket Edition v0.11.0 alpha build 1, villages used Minecraft:gravel paths; however, this was changed and dirt paths are now used instead.

Oak savanna villages

Prior to Pocket Edition v0.15.0 alpha build 1, villages that would generate in savanna biomes used oak Minecraft:wood, oak wood Minecraft:planks, oak Minecraft:fences, and oak stairs, but this village was later replaced with the acacia village.

Trees

"Cold-en" oak trees

Cold-en oak trees were a bugged tree with the shape of an oak but the blocks of a spruce that would generate on the borders of warm and cold biomes in early Template:Edition versions.

• File:ColdenOak.jpg
• File:ColdenOakTree.png

Old oak trees

At the same time that cold-en oak trees existed, oak trees at the time would only generate with 2 Minecraft:logs in a canopy rather than 3.

Mineshafts

Spider spawners

When mineshafts were added to Minecraft:Pocket Edition in v0.9.0 build 1, it would generate a monster spawner with a spider inside of it instead of a cave spider, which was because cave spiders didn't exist in Pocket Edition yet.

Nether Spires

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

File:Nether Spire Revision 1.png

A Nether Spire in v0.5.0.

File:Nether Spire.jpg

A Nether Spire as it appeared in v0.6.0 onwards.

The Nether Spire (referred to as Dome in the code) was a huge structure consisting of Minecraft:netherrack that generated when a Nether reactor core was activated. It would replace many blocks and started spawning multiple rare items and zombie pigmen. When the Nether reactor core stopped working, all the reactor blocks that had already become glowing obsidian transformed into normal Minecraft:obsidian. The Nether Spire structure would start to break, causing holes to form on the outside. It also set the time to night. The Nether Spire consisted of many floors and would destroy many blocks in its path.

If the Nether Spire generated in a high place, the upper part of the Nether spire would not generate properly and become cut off due to the then-128 block height limit. Activating the Nether Reactor Core at Y=1 would cause the bedrock to be replaced with netherrack (making it possible to fall into the Void).

Far Lands

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

File:FarLandsEdge PocketEdition.jpg

The Far Lands at X=+12,550,821.

File:Cornerfarlands pe.png

The "corner" of the Far Lands, at +12,550,821 on both X and Z axes, forming the skygrid.

File:Negative Far Lands2.jpg

The Far Lands at X=-12,550,821, forming an endless ocean.

The Far Lands was the area that formed the "edge" of the "infinite" map in Template:Editions versions prior to 1.17.30. They initiated approximately 12,550,821 blocks from the center of the world, at X/Z 0. The Far Lands had three variations: The Edge Far Lands, the skygrid, and nothingness.

The Edge Far Lands and the skygrid both featured extremely strange terrain. The Edge Far Lands formed a solid wall that extended up to Y=127, with extremely long, large holes perpendicular to the edge. This wall pattern continued below ground level to the bottom of the map. The Edge Far Lands became less dense as the player ventured further out, transitioning completely into nothingness by X/Z +12,758,545.

The skygrid consisted of a 3D pattern of surface layer blocks that extended from Y=127 to the bottom of the map. In later versions of the game prior to their removal, the skygrid only generated in the Nether and the End, with the same areas in the Overworld being occupied by nothingness.

In nothingness, terrain stopped generating entirely, with the only features being the ocean and the bedrock layer. Certain structures could still generate in this area, and the surface of the ocean was frozen in cold biomes.

The Edge Far Lands, the skygrid, and nothingness were all removed in Minecraft:Bedrock Edition beta 1.17.20.20.

Old world type

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

The Old world type was created to provide smaller worlds on older or low-end devices that did not perform well with infinite worlds. As of beta 1.18.0.22, the Old world type was removed from being created.

Nether in Old world type

Nether Portals cannot be activated in the Minecraft:Old world type unless converted to the Infinite world type.

As of Alpha 0.16.0 build 5, commands can be used by players to access the Nether in the Old world type without converting it to Infinite by using commands

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr or

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr with the Nether Portal.

The Nether in the Old world type looks like the normal Nether but is limited in size. It is the same size as the Overworld, which is 256×256 with a 128 block height. However, since the Nether and the Overworld have the same size, and traveling 1 block in the Nether is still equal to traveling 8 blocks in the Overworld, this leads to a problem that can make the game freeze or crash. This is the reason why the Nether can not be accessed in the Old world type. When the player goes to the Nether, a new Nether portal generates naturally in the Overworld, because a portal placed with commands is not counted. However, the player cannot make a Nether portal normally.

End in Old world type

The End Dimension was added, and alongside it the End in the Old world type. The End is inaccessible because strongholds never generate in the Old world type and building an end portal also does not work. The only way to access it is via block-placement commands such as

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr and

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr.

Unlike the Nether in Old worlds, which can generate all structures, The End here generates just the main island and not the outer islands, due to the size limit of 256×256 blocks.

However, sometimes the End in the Old world type generates improperly, resulting in the central island not generating due to the border. If this happens, the ender dragon may get stuck in mid-air at the border, and the exit portal generates halfway or does not appear. The end gateway portal is also nonfunctional, due to the size limit.

These problems are the reasons why the End dimension is normally inaccessible, as the only way to go back to the Overworld is via cheats or death.

Sounds

Many sounds were removed in Bedrock Edition, such as old footsteps, old breaking block sounds, old Minecraft:glass and metal block sounds, old sounds for cows, zombie villagers, Minecraft:husks, strays, explosion sounds, Minecraft:water, and squids, along with others.

"Old Hurt" still exists with the

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr command.

Old crying obsidian texture

The old texture of Crying Obsidian was added in Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.1.0 alpha with terrain.png what matches Java Edition Beta 1.3. It was removed in v0.2.0, as terrain.png has now been changed to match up with Java Edition 1.1.

As of 1.16, these blocks were added to the game. For Minecraft:Java Edition since 1.16 (20w10a), this texture was re-added in Programmer Art.

123123.png

File:123123.png

123123.png was added to the game files in Pocket Edition v0.3.0 alpha with the last changed date April 5, 2012. Presumably, a mockup for the Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface System (MATTIS) crafting system, first publicly announced on April 17, 2012.<ref>Template:Tweet
http://web.archive.org/web/20140411032031/https://twitter.com/Kappische/status/192266848836919296</ref> It was removed from the regular version of the game in Pocket Edition v0.3.3 alpha. It remained in the J-version until it stopped receiving updates after v0.5.0 alpha.

DoSoundStuff.bat

DoSoundStuff.bat was an unused batch file added in v0.12.1 alpha build 13 and removed in v0.12.2. This file, presumably, was used in the convertion of the sounds added in the same build. <syntaxhighlight lang="batch" line="1"> for /f "delims=" %i in ('dir /b /s *.ogg') do C:\Users\darng\Documents\GitHub\Minecraftpe\tools\fmod\fsbankcl.exe -optimize_samplerate -quality 100 -format fadpcm -o "%~dpni.fsb" "%~i" </syntaxhighlight>

/summon command

In v0.16.0, it was possible to summon fireballs, small fireballs, Wither Skulls and their dangerous variants. These were removed in Minecraft:Pocket Edition 1.0.0
