”A feature of Minecraft, whether a bug or an intentional feature, that could be acquired in specific versions of the game, and the ability to acquire said feature was, at some point, removed”

~the Minecraft Discontinued Features Wiki

This page is all about things that are now no longer obtainable (e.g. petrified oak slabs) or rare (blank maps for example). Some features have also been removed throughout the numerous updates, such as invalid data value leaves (usually known as "alpha leaves"). Relicts of admin abuse do not belong in the page!

Please include the following info

  • Version range (if uncertain, give the version it was obtained / removed)
  • Owners (players who posses it / had possessed it) / locations
  • Info
  • Images

Alpha Slab / Petrified Oak Slab

Oakmarten petrified oak slab.png

  • Version range: Beta 1.3 - 1.2.5
  • Info: Wooden slabs used to have the same numeric ID as stone slabs but with a data value 2 instead of 0. Somewhere after version 1.2.5 both the texture and the model of the item were removed from the game files giving it its famous look. In version 1.13 the numeric ID's were removed and the wooden slab got its own name: "petrified oak slab".

Discontinued enchantments

Infinity and mending bow (/ book)

Laztec mending and infinity bow.png

  • Version range: 1.9 - 1.11
  • Info: When mending was introduced, it used to be not mutually exclusive with infinity. Nowadays mending and infinity bows are rare and highly valued.

Fun fact: during these versions it was possible to obtain a mending + infinity book in jungle temple and stronghold chests.

Mobs

Skeleton horse with 15+ HP

Oakmarten high health skeleton horse.png

  • Version range: 1.9 - 1.10.2
  • Info: Skeleton horse traps spawned in these versions will create one skeleton horse that will always have 53 HP and three other ones that will have a random value ranging from 15 to 30 HP.

Fun fact: skeleton traps that were spawned during this version range will still spawn these discontinued skeleton horses when triggered in modern versions, that's how oakmarten found his first high health skeleton horses.

Blocks

Snowy Grass Block

AKA the thermal paste block.

Thermal paste block.png

  • Version range: ? - 1.17.1
  • Info: A snowy grass block without the snow layer, leaving behind the base texture of the top part of a grass block.

This bug could occur by either an enderman picking up a grass block that had snow on it and placing it back down (possible until 1.16.x) or by world generation (similar to floating vegetation) (possible until 1.17.x). Although this block state is rather stable (placing or breaking blocks does not cause any updates) snowfall will update the block and a snow layer will form on it. Al it takes to prevent this is to place a block 2 blocks above the grass block (as shown in the screenshot).

  • Owner(s) / location(s): oakmarten (screenshot above)

Moving Piston / Block 36

Barrier Town 4.png

  • Version range: Beta 1.7 - 1.16.5
  • Info: Moving piston blocks were able to be made when blowing up the block entity of an extending piston in the same tick that the piston extends. This was possible by blowing up a brewing stand with an end crystal and extending a piston at the right time.

This newly created block, that normally is meant to only exist for a very short period, has some interesting properties:

  1. Gravity blocks will fall through it when they are falling. They will stay as a falling entity when there is a block underneath it that normally breaks falling blocks, like a fence for example.
  2. Gravity blocks can sit on top of it when they are directly placed on it.
  3. Fluids don't go through a moving piston block nor can blocks be places in it.
  4. Block 36 can support item frames.
  5. Moving piston blocks can still be made by using the world border, the block itself can be found outside and a server sided hitbox is projected on the inside of the border (image needed).
  • Owner(s) / location(s): Barrier Town featured some of these blocks.

Rarities

Items

Blank Map

Blank map.png

  • Info:

Blank maps are maps that show no terrain, when placed on item frames they will become transparent and make the item frame larger. There are two types of blank maps: ones that have NBT data and ones that don't, they can be distinguished from each other by either enabling advanced tooltips or by some small visual differences when held.

(example of the other type is still needed, to compare)

Tall Grass / Large Fern (item)

Tall Grass.png Large Fern.png

  • Info:

Tall grass and large ferns as items are only obtainable in village chests (1.14+). Tall grass has a 45.9% chance of generating in a savanna village and large fern has a 18.6% chance in a taiga village.

Deepslate Emerald Ore

Deepslate Emerald Ore-669121112.png

  • Info:

Deepslate Emerald Ore is rare to find, you need to find and mine it with Silk Touch. It only spawns very rarely on levels where Emerald Ore is found (above y = -16) and below where you find Deepslate (Below y = 0).

Mobs

NoAI Ender Dragon

  • Info:

By blocking specific locations with blocks the ender dragon will no longer be able to pathfind it, this results in a frozen dragon. When the dragon is frozen you can push it outside the main end island with a flying machine. When there is no ender dragon at end spawn during and the dragon battle isn't finished the server will spawn a brand-new dragon which will freeze as well. This allows multiple dragons in one world.

A video that ostrich1414 made about the broken dragons event: https://youtu.be/Itqe5GtNs5g?feature=shared

Oakmarten would later also try to clear lava casts with a dragon and get more than the initial two dragons. He succeeded in getting three dragons in one place.

3 dragons.png Dragons were successfully moved outside the main end island.

  • Owner(s) / location(s): This is a temporary bug unless the dragon is stored in an unloaded chunk and never loaded again.

Indestructible end crystal

Oakmarten Invulnerable End Crystal.png Oakmarten end ship.png

(WIP)

  • Info: When the ender dragon is being resummoned the "Invulnerable" tag is set to 1b. When the crystal is pushed far enough away from the pillar it stays invulnerable. These crystals have a different appearance than normal end crystals, they have a bedrock base and emit a laser that points towards end spawn (X0, Y125, Z0). These crystals can be pushed far away from the main end island and can be used for decoration.

Oakmarten had used one to make a flying End Ship, that "uses" the crystal as powersource for the ship to fly.
