Block colors/Removed blocks and biomes

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

This article is a work in progress.

Please help expand and improve it. The talk page may contain suggestions.

This page covers block tints which were applied to blocks that no longer exist, as well as applications from biomes which also no longer exist.

None of these removed blocks have ever existed in Bedrock Edition, and all biomes still exist and are listed on Block colors. Shrubs used the same texture and biome coloring as short grass and ferns.

Removed biomes

This section is missing information about: Of these, which colours are still used in other biomes, and which can no longer be seen at all?

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
