Broken/Unused Items
by C1PL
Broken/Unused Items brings back a set of unfinished and leftover objects from older builds of Minecraft, obtainable through commands or the creative tab.
What it does
Several of the added objects were cut or left incomplete in past versions of the game, and the mod makes them available again in the world. Each one can be obtained with a command or picked from the creative tab, so they can be inspected without a survival grind. The set includes invisible bedrock, glowing obsidian, and several stages of the Nether Reactor Core, from the older functional version to the finished one.
The items are meant for exploration, testing and decoration rather than survival balance. The creative tab collects them under a single operator-oriented section, and a translation-style entry from the leftover content is included as a curiosity. Broken/Unused Items is released for NeoForge and currently has a single 0.1.0 beta file for 1.21.4, published on 2025-06-28 under the MIT License. The code is not open source, although the license permits reuse under its terms. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too.
Key features
Invisible bedrock
A bedrock block that does not render, so its position can only be found by touching or measuring it.
Glowing obsidian
An obsidian variant that emits light, included as an unfinished leftover from older builds.
Nether Reactor Core stages
The reactor core appears in its old functional form, its new functional form, and in initialized and finished stages.
Command and creative access
Each object can be given through a command or taken from the creative tab, with an operator section for the set.
