Can you think of one useless Minecraft mob, block or item?
I will try to think of a use for it.
I am not allowed to say 'To make you ask questions' or anything like that, it has to have a use.
So, any ideas?

The most useless IMHO is my favorite block in the entire game; the lapis block. The item can be used to enchant things, sure, but the block isn't the... best looking... in the game and doesn't have any use, except for holding lapis, and with the new stained hardened clay blocks I'd rather use my lapis on that rather than a block.

Prior to being nerfed, dropping a dragon egg in a lazy chunk would break bedrock. This was the simplest way of doing so and often the reason for mass duplication the egg as it made clearing the top four layers of bedrock inside a spawnproofed perimeter a reasonable (if still quite daunting) project.
[​Or the 0-layer as well, although this would lose an egg for each location cleared, but allowed the most efficient spawning in farms.]

Decor/ aesthetic usage has been previously traeted as useful for a variety of items.

As a practical matter, glowing item frames and glowing signs can be useful for pathfinding through dark areas (assuming one doesn't just crank up the gamma) near mob farms without needing to add light (which can decrease spawnng efficiency).
[A fairly esoteric use (and one probably only likely to see the light of day 😎 ) on servers that block the gamma adjustment dodge.]

Snowgolems are also useful in certain mob farms.

Prior to being nerfed, the dragon egg was wonderful for bedrock breaking.

Well looking through the other comments, it seems you will think literally anything has a use, like how someone suggested Player Heads, which have, no use, and you said, they make you look funny, or when someone said blaze rods don't have a use without something external like a crafting table, which is fair, you said you can use them for a trophy or roleplay, so no matter what i say, you will have some use for it that's not really a gameplay use. But why not, I say: Music discs, without a jukebox.

drops glow ink, which can be used to make signs vastly more readable. also, adds a really cool atmosphere to the underwater caves that makes them feel very different to regular caves and regular water.

Other than pretty designs, these can be useful in redstone when one wants a pushable (but non-pullable) block that does not adhere to slime/honey

Player heads aren;t a vanilla item (and mostly get used for posable armor stand art and bragging rights)
Mob heads are wearable — although the benefit is so small and the heads so difficult to obtain one wonders if anyone actually does this (other than as a stunt)…

Lillypads can be very useful when starting mid ocean builds if one does not wish to pillar up (blocks or kelp) from the seafloor.

Mossy cobbblestone is the cheapest stone block that is immune to silverfish infestation.

Snow blocks are needed for snow golems (highly usefulin certain farms)

Prior to being able to farm podzol, mycelium was the only renewable block on which mushrooms could be farmed at high light levels.

Dead bush: yeah, that one's pretty useless other than for decor and a nonrenewable source of sticks if one gets a desert spawn…

mossy cobblestone is really helpful for transitioning from green to grey, which is something that really helps when building with stone in a grassy area.

mycelium is one of two blocks that mushrooms can be placed on regardless of light level.

Bubble columns are great not only for smaller & faster item elevators (c.f. the pre 1.13 designs), but also as a replacement for the "bubblevators" in many situations (although bubblevators are still useful for some sorting functions ).
