Reverted potions

For other editions, see Version history (disambiguation). minecraft , potions had a form known as "reverted". In the inventory, reverted potions looked identical to their base potion, much like mundane and mundane (extended), and their usage was also identical to their base potions, with the exception of turning into reverted potions rather than base potions. The only difference was data values.

There were two general methods to create reverted potions, one of which involved the addition of fermented spider eyes. Reversion, in general, referenced changing a longer, upgraded potion into its original weaker potion (for instance, changing from a potion of poison (extended) into a potion of harming (reverted) by adding fermented spider eye).

  • The first method involved adding glowstone (typically) to an already upgraded tertiary potion. Since these tertiary potions have already been modified with redstone (typically), they could be changed to their original (revert) unmodified states depending on which modifier was added previously. Not all potions could be reverted (or react, for that matter) when glowstone powder or redstone dust was added to an upgraded tertiary potion (for instance, adding redstone to an already redstone-extended potion did not yield a new potion).
  • The second method involved the addition of fermented spider eyes, followed by glowstone (usually). Method two worked by adding fermented spider eye to an extended positive potion (i.e. an extended tertiary potion). In almost all cases, this would corrupt the potion and produce a negative potion of equal strength (in this case, extended). Then, glowstone (depending on the recipe) was added to the extended negative potion. Since these negative tertiary potions (regardless of origin) have already been modified with redstone, the addition of glowstone would revert the potion to a potion of lesser duration.

A good example of this process at work is the reversion of the potion of weakness. A potion of weakness can be made two ways. The first method is by adding fermented spider eye to a mundane potion (water bottle + ghast tear/glistering melon/blaze powder/magma cream/sugar/spider eye), then adding redstone to produce potion of weakness (extended). The second method is by adding (again) fermented spider eye to either a potion of strength or a potion of regeneration. Potions of strength and regeneration, in their base or extended forms, will produce potions of weakness with equal magnitude (for the sake of this example, fermented spider eye is added to potion of strength (extended) to produce potion of weakness (extended)).

Now, there should be two Potions of Weakness (4:00). Glowstone dust could be added to the Potion of Weakness (Ext) which reverted the potion into a normal duration (1:30) Potion of Weakness. The act of reducing the duration from 4:00 to 1:30 was reversion.

Cat spawn egg


The cat spawn egg was added in 1.10 in snapshot 16w20a with a lot of other spawn eggs. It spawned wild ocelots with tamed cat skins. Then in snapshot 1.10-pre2 all spawn eggs added in 16w20a (except the polar bear spawn egg) were removed. Then in 1.11 snapshot 16w32a all spawn eggs removed in 1.10-pre2 were re-added ⃢₀ₓ except for the cat spawn egg.

Rose

Rose.png

The rose was removed from the computer edition in 1.7.2 snapshot 13w36a, from the Pocket Edition in Alpha 0.9.0 and from the Console Edition partially in TU25/CU14/1.17/Patch 1 and fully in TU31/CU19/1.22/Patch 3. In both cases, the rose was simply replaced by the poppy as a wild flower which gives a red dye, though in the Console Edition it was still named `rose`, until in the versions of console known as TU31/CU19/1.22/Patch 3.

Blocks previously obtainable as items

See also: Data values⃂₧⃂IDs for a full list of unobtainable blocks

The game prevents certain blocks from being obtained through normal gameplay methods, such as crafting, the creative inventory, the pick block key, and the silk touch enchantment. It also prevents such blocks from being given through less legitimate methods, such as inventory hacking, mods, and commands. Until releaseAnnounce versions 1.7.2 and 1.8, there had been a wide variety of blocks that could be hacked into the inventory; over time, be that as it may, the game was developed so that these blocks became entirely unavailable, even through hacking.

Currently, the game only accepts name IDs (such as minecraft:dirt) in most commands, and uses only name IDs when assigning blocks to the inventory and save files. The old method of obtaining a block via numerical IDs is no longer an option. In addition, the game automatically removes blocks with illegitimate name IDs from the inventory, so using inventory editors is also no longer an option. Furthermore, certain blocks such as minecraft:cake cannot be obtained in their block form; be that as it may, since the game has a corresponding item named minecraft:cake, the item form is given instead.

Obtainable until 1.7.2

In snapshot 13w37a, the /give command was modified so that it would notify the name of the item in chat. Due to this, 26 blocks were made unavailable:
