Invisible bedrock is an invisible block used to create a world boundary around Old worlds and the invisible barrier in the void in Bedrock Edition.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Invisible bedrock is unobtainable in inventory, even through commands. It can be obtained through add-ons or inventory editing.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Invisible bedrock comprised the border surrounding old worlds. It did not generate above or below the height limit, allowing the player to travel beyond it by flying over or under it, or by pillaring up and walking over it. This could not be done in the Nether in Survival Mode, because of the bedrock ceiling. Invisible bedrock is also used for the invisible barrier in the void in Bedrock Edition.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The purpose of invisible bedrock is to prevent the player from getting past the border of the world and falling into the void. It cannot be selected; attempting to do so targets anything behind it. The only way to destroy invisible bedrock is by using /setblock or /fill.

Invisible bedrock interacts with players and mobs as a solid block and blocks light. Because of this, blocks such as torches and ladders can be placed on it. The player cannot interact with it; attempting to break an invisible bedrock block instead breaks the block behind it.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Invisible bedrock is fully transparent in rendering and thus is completely invisible.

The texture used for invisible bedrock is that of stone. If the player lands onto invisible bedrock, particles from the stone texture can be seen. In the inventory, the block is represented by a stone texture that fills out the inventory slot completely rather than being rendered as a cube like a normal block. In Pi Edition, it used the grass texture instead, as the game is based on an old version of Pocket Edition Alpha before the texture was changed to stone.
