It has been over a decade since Minecraft’s official release. Over such an extended period, this sandbox game has received many major and minor updates. So much so that players who left the game at its early stage won’t even recognize it.
Over time, the developers have added many new features and removed those that are no longer needed. Sometimes, older content gets replaced by new features which do the same job much more efficiently.
This article informs gamers about some features removed from Minecraft. Most of them are from the early game development stage, so only a few know about them.

Five features no longer available in Minecraft
5) Nether reactor
Minecraft veterans know about the Bedrock-exclusive structure called the nether reactor. In a 3x3x3 area, they have to build a structure using gold blocks, cobblestone, and a nether reactor core. When activated, it will spawn a structure known as “nether spire.”
Inside the nether spire, players used to find nether blocks and mobs. This feature was added to Bedrock for a short time when the nether realm wasn’t available. It was removed as soon as Mojang added the nether realm.
4) Magma cubes take damage from water
Rather than adding a solid structure for one block, Minecraft creator Notch decided to add a recipe for bricks instead, so brick pyramids were removed from the game.
