info_update

info_update and info_update2 are debugging/placeholder blocks exclusive to Bedrock Edition that generated in place of blocks that are not yet added.

Obtaining[]

These blocks can no longer be obtained. They used to generate instead of magma blocks when a player with a lower version of the game where the block had not been added joined a player with a higher one.^{[more information needed]}

					info_updateGame1 has text "upd ate!" and info_updateGame2 "ate! upd" such that when placed adjacent to each other, the word "update!" would be complete on one line.
v0.2.0					Any blocks with an invalid ID are replaced with info_updateGame2 on world load.
v0.2.1 alpha2					The top left pixel of the texture used for info_updateGame1 is now completely transparent, causing it to render black on the block.
					In item form, it renders transparent.
v0.5.0					With the addition of tooltips, info_updateGame1 and info_updateGame2 both display the name "tile.info_update.name<".
