Some of the mobs that were never seen in the games

Since the beginning of the development of Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two, there have been several assets of unused and removed features that were never seen in the finished versions of the game. These features may have been replaced, or a developer decided against the feature later on.

Some of these are still in the current versions' files but most of them only exist in pre-release builds of Access Denied and Below the Bedrock that were pushed to public branches of the games on Steam. These builds can be accessed by users who own the game via the Steam Console, maintained by Valve, or through third-party tools like DepotDownloader.[1][2]

Inside the files of The Order of the Stone, assets for Ellegaard's top hat and her appearance after her death can be found. Her deceased appearance differs from her death in The Last Place You Look, as she is no longer wearing her armor at the end.

Jesse's designs

[edit | edit source]

In a pre-release version of Access Denied, several Jesse designs were found: a female Jesse with the lightest skin tone wearing Soren and Ivor's armors, female Jesse in all skin tones wearing a griefer mask, and a light-skinned male Jesse also wearing the mask. Separate hand models for a thumbs-up and pointing were also present, which could be attached to the arm models of either gender.

Jesse also had a design only seen in user interface prototype designs made by Hain Lee.

[edit | edit source]

Prismarine creeper

[edit | edit source]

A prismarine variant of the creeper that went unused in Minecraft: Story Mode. The assets still exist in the files of Hero in Residence. They were meant to come from the Heckmouth in Hero in Residence. They were ultimately scrapped and replaced instead by charged creepers to keep prismarine mobs exclusive in the Sea Temple.[3]

Like the soldiers and the colossi, the prismarine creeper's design took inspiration from Cthulhu. The development team nicknamed the prismarine creepers as "Cthulu Creepers" due to their appearance.

Prison witch

[edit | edit source]

A prison variant of the witch that was ultimately cut from the final version of the game. The assets can be found in the pre-release version of Below the Bedrock.

Slime

[edit | edit source]

A bouncy, cube-shaped monster. Its texture and model exists in a pre-release builds of Access Denied and Below the Bedrock. The assets are now removed in full releases.

Its filenames, however, start with the prefix "obj", a file naming scheme used for blocks and items in the game.

Sonar

[edit | edit source]

Sonar was an associate and an assistant to Gordon, the Warden of the Sunshine Institute.[4] She was written to be competitive with Radar and they would later hit it off.[5] Sonar's design would later be reused in designing Binta.[6] She was cut in the final revision of the story, her assets can be found in the pre-release build of Below the Bedrock.

Tripwire

[edit | edit source]

Tripwire was an assistant and bodyguard to Stella.[7] She was written to be tough, stoic, a person of few words, and a complete opposite to Radar.[7][8] She was cut in the final revision of the story, her assets can be found in the pre-release build of Below the Bedrock. Her name appears in the credits of Hero in Residence.

Villager

[edit | edit source]

The assets are found in the pre-release build of Access Denied and Below the Bedrock. The classic villagers can be found in Access Denied, where they are referenced as skM1_villager. In Below the Bedrock, they appear as skM1_villager201, as indicated by 201 in their file names. The 2 represents the season, while 1 indicates the episode number. This naming pattern is also seen in other files.

One villager was seemingly intended to appear in Fred's Keep, as suggested by the presence of Neathfolk in its texture and model file names. This naming pattern is also seen in the files for Fred's Keep townspeople.

Xara's admin form

[edit | edit source]

An unused texture exists in the files of Above and Beyond showing Xara in her admin form. Eric Stirpe confirmed that this was originally going to be used in a flashback scene in Jailhouse Block, featuring all three of the admins when they were active, but decided to cut the scene entirely.[9]

Although Xara is never physically seen in her admin form, in Below the Bedrock when Xara arrives at her home to find her bed missing, a portrait can be seen on the wall of her in her admin form standing alongside Fred and Romeo.
