{{IN|be}}, chiseled purpur and smooth purpur are unused purpur blocks that have the texture of the normal purpur block. They are obtainable only via commands (such as {{cmd|give @s purpur_block 1 1}} for chiseled purpur, and {{cmd|give @s purpur_block 1 3}} for smooth purpur) or through inventory editing. Smooth purpur lacks a translation string, and its in-game name is tile.deprecated_purpur_block_2.name. Previously, it was tile.purpur_block.smooth.name.
