It's possible to place a bed in The End. However, as the developers didn't want the player to sleep in The End, beds will explode when placed. It's possible to actually defeat the Enderdragon with precise placing of beds. Upon exploding, they will injure the Enderdragon with very high damage if it is close by.

During the development of Beta 1.7, Mojang was considering adding spike blocks that would function like a piston, except with spikes instead of a flat piston head. They instead decided to add sticky pistons that could pull blocks, and make spike blocks into a static block that could simply be pushed and pulled with the sticky pistons instead. Sticky pistons were implemented, but they couldn't decide how they wanted spike blocks to look or function.

There are quite a few base potions in the game's code that were left with no method to craft them in 1.9 beta pre-release 3. These potions include: Clear, Diffuse, Artless, Thin, Bungling, Suave, Smooth, Debonair, Charming, Refined, Cordial, Sparkling, Potent, Rank, Acrid, Gross, and Stinky.
While they can still be obtained using commands, they have no effect, and take the appearance of a water bottle.

Five humanoid mobs which were available in the Indev version were later removed. However, they can be found in the files of earlier versions of the game. The mobs were Beast Boy which resembles the DC comics character of the same name, Black Steve, humans which resemble the default player's character (later renamed 'Monsters'), Rana who is a little girl with a frog hat, and a different human also named Steve.
