Usage

It's usage is unknown, however it could be like the unknown block, but instead of incorrect ID of add-ons, it could be of a vanilla block that still doesn't exist in the version of the game

info_updateGame1 has text "upd ate!" and info_updateGame2 "ate! upd" such that when placed adjacent to each other, the word "update!" would be complete on one line.
v0.2.0Any blocks with an invalid ID are replaced with info_updateGame2 on world load.
v0.2.1 alpha2 The top left pixel of the texture used for info_updateGame1 is now completely transparent, causing it to render black on the block.
In item form, it renders transparent.
v0.5.0With the addition of tooltips, info_updateGame1 and info_updateGame2 both display the name "tile.info_update.name<".
v0.8.0build 2 info update's texture has been reverted.
