History

Bedrock Edition

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.2.0							Added a nameless block with ID 255. It uses the same texture as stone. Internally it is referred to as Tile::info_reserved6.
							This block is used for referencing inventory slots in the player's hotbar in Survival mode. The first nine [NBT Compound / JSON Object] compound tags under [NBT List / JSON Array] Inventory, those with [Byte] Slot values ranging from 00 (0) to 08 (8), have their [Short] id and [Byte] Count values set to FF (255). Each of the nine compound tags also has a [Short] Damage value that is either equal to the slot value of another inventory slot (ranging from 09 (9) to 35 (53)), or is set to 00 (0) for empty hotbar slots.
v0.2.1							Empty hotbar slots now have the block with a damage value of 01 (1).
v0.3.0							The game now only saves up to 36 inventory slots, reducing the maximum damage value of the block to 2C (44).
							Empty hotbar slots now have the block with a damage value of FFFF (-1).
v0.5.0							With the addition of tooltips, the block now displays the name ".name<".
v0.7.5							reserved6 now generally breaks at the same speed as stone, however, the speed may vary from update to update and device to device.
v0.8.0			build 1				reserved6 now uses a solid gray texture, derived from the top-left pixel of the grass block top texture.
							reserved6 no longer has a red background in the inventory.
							This version saves 162 inventory slots in Creative mode worlds, one for each item available in the game mode. This allows the reserved6 hotbar slots to have damage values ranging from 09 (9) to AA (170).
			build 2				Creative mode worlds now only save nine inventory slots, reducing the maximum damage value of reserved6 to 11 (17).
v0.11.0			build 1				The name is now displayed as ".name".
v0.13.0			build 1				The name is now displayed as "tile.reserved6.name".
v0.14.0			build 1				Up to 36 inventory slots are now saved in Creative mode, increasing the maximum damage value of reserved6 to 2C (44).
v0.15.0			build 1				reserved6 now uses the texture of tile.info_update.name.
Pocket Edition
1.1.0			alpha 1.1.0.0				Empty hotbar slots are no longer saved for the player entity, meaning that it is no longer possible for reserved6 hotbar slots to have a damage value of -1.
Bedrock Edition
1.2.10			beta 1.2.10.1				Due to changes made to how the player's inventory is saved, reserved6 is no longer used for referencing inventory slots.
			release				Most changes from beta 1.2.10.1, including the inventory save changes, were reverted due to stability issues.[1]
1.2.13			beta 1.2.13.5				Readded the inventory save changes that make reserved6 unused.
1.20.80			Preview 1.20.80.21				The texture of reserved6 has been changed.
