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?

I am tired of saying this but they can be:
Random AI generators powered by players
Alarms
Pets
Distractions
Basically a thing to call a feature
Mob checkers
Gateway protectors if used the right way

The "Unknown" block, It is bedrock exclusive, unobtainable, and, unplaceable.

I just learned about this block via googling useless blocks, good luck.

Lol, honestly I think this might be impossible, every block has some kind of use you can find, rp/deco/etc, no real point in coming up with a useless one if there isn't one XD

Eventually, there is not even a single item which is useless because you will either say "It's useful for RPs"(true eventually) or "trophy"(Pretty true too), and if it''s a block, "Build"(true)

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.

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)…

Stone is the easiest of the moss replacable blocks to generate (particularly without player effort) making it useful in moss/moss item farms.

Sheep are a cheeper source of wool (and thus of carpet) than spiders.

Thick potion is sometimes used for brewing, and good luck is like more mob drops but in effect
