Unknown is a placeholder block exclusive to Bedrock Edition that generates in place where blocks have an invalid ID.

Obtaining

The block can be obtained in vanilla Minecraft with the /setblock or /fill commands, then broken with any tool, even TNT, or by hand in Survival. It breaks instantly.

Loading a block with an incorrect ID will result in it being replaced by an Unknown block, although it retains its ID.

Some Marketplace worlds that are meant for older versions of the game can generate this block. These may include worlds that haven’t updated to work with the latest version.
