Important! If you find any images that I couldn't find please, message me it! If you think a fact is wrong, it's okay tell meh. If you want to add a fact, comment down in the comment section below.

Blocks/Items


The Quiver
In Legend of the Chambered which is an abandoned RPG that Notch made) the quiver was used to pick up loot. Notch reused it and added it in the Minecraft file but was not used since then.         
undefined

Crying Obsidian
Crying Obsidian is used to change the respawn point of a player but was unreleased when Notch introduced the beds into Minecraft.
undefined


Gears
Gears was supposed to be added in Infdev until it was leaked into a inventory causing it never to be released. Gears were deleted and removed from the minecraft file in 2010.
undefined


Ruby

They went with Emeralds instead of Ruby in the last minute because Dinnerbone is colorblind and couldn't tell the difference between redstone and rubies.undefined

Branches
Notch mentioned adding branches during Indev but the sideways logs seemed to be the alternative.
(No image of the branches)

Lanterns
Lanterns were gonna be planned to be used for permanent light sources (torches were used to be temporary), but Lanterns was officially denied by Notch at MineCon 2011.
undefined

Spike Block
Spike blocks were originally planned to be in Beta 1.7, working on extending and retracting the spikes they got an idea to be sticky pistons. Dinnerbone stated he liked to add spikes blocks but was uncertain how to implement them.
(No images of the Spike Block)

Purple Arrow
Purple arrows were meant to be shot by Skeletons and acted as regular arrows but the texture was not used.
undefined


Dyed Planks
Dinnerbone asked his followers on twitter about adding colored planks, the results as being 30% please no, 80% yes please, 110% I don't even know. He canceled it after and replaced it with hardened clay which was added into 1.6.1.
 (No images of the dyed planks)

Coral
Notch attempted to add in corals but he had hard time drawing it so it was never released.
undefined
(Example, not real image of coral) "From the Coral Reef mod."

Furniture
In indev's terrain.png there was two textures which was interpreted as chairs, the second one could be a table or front of the chair. No one knows the uses of these textures.
undefined (Chair_and_Table.png)


Dirt Slab
Before stone slabs were added to the game, Notch did a test with dirt slabs first. But they were never officially implemented to the game.
undefined

The Horse Saddle
Horse saddles were going be implemented but they decided to stick with the regular one instead.
undefined

Minecart with Dispenser
Mojang tweeted images of the minecart with a dispenser that was in development. It was suppose to be added in the Redstone Update but was not officialy released.
(No image of the Minecart with a Dispenser)

Lectern
The Lectern was an old project of Dinnerbone's. It's purpose was to be a stand for books so you could read them easily. But while in development he noticed a lot of problems with it so it was not finished. Later he mentioned he'll continue the Lectern in the near future.
undefined

Between leather and chainmail, while in place of a gold/diamond armor in Indev.

Environment


The Sky Dimension

The Sky Dimension or Skylands was planned to be a world type that was intended to be added in 1.8 or 1.0. But the idea was used again, as the code was reused to make the end just the sky, no clouds, and entirely made out of End Stone. The debug info (f3) says "Sky" as the biome name.
undefined

Mobs


Red Dragon

Notch revealed during the Seecret Friday Update that they would add dragons, one being the Ender Dragon and the another one being red tamable dragon. But unfortunately Dinnerbone tweeted that the red dragons not being implemented. This is likely the red dragons would've of come from the dragon eggs.

Whales
Whales were mentioned to be added by Notch in Alpha as a water mob, but later discontinued due to Squids being added.
(No images of a Whale)


Panda

(No images of a Panda)

Pigmen (Not Pigman)
Pigmen are mobs with the same shape as the player but with the skin of a pig. Notch mentioned he might add them as villagers but that didn't happen. The pig skin was created by a Minecraft user Miclee.

Music

Calm 4 (Calm4.ogg)
Calm4.ogg was a music file created by Notch himself which was like a boss type of song. The track was released around Alpha 1.1.1. For people who had minecraft during the time the song was still in it, it is still continued to be heard.
