Roblox is an online game creation platform that allows users to design their own games and play a wide variety of different types of games created by all kinds of users.
Despite having a notoriously toxic status in other online communities, the game engine itself is actually an impressive feat, featuring very powerful and flexible tools that allow for development across all sorts of hardware.
As the game engine itself is constantly receiving new features and content, this article will be focused on features and content that have been removed from the game engine over the years, as well as the really old builds that have been hard to come by.
Also, note that games created in the engine can use the textures and sounds listed here, therefore while unused in the CoreScripts and other official game engine code, they may be used in Roblox games.

Sub-Pages
Removed Features Features that have been removed from the game engine. |
Removed Content Files that used to be inside Roblox and were completely removed. |
Unused Studio Textures Images embedded in Roblox Studio that are currently unused. |
Unused Graphics
While these graphics aren't used by the actual developers of Roblox, anyone can use them in their games.When the game received a massive UI redo, a bunch of graphics from before the UI redo remained in the game's files.
TixIcon.png
Although not so significant, the game used to have a second currency called Tickets (Tix for short) that had been around since 2007. The currency was removed in 2016, leaving this texture unused.
RobuxIcon.png
An earlier version of the Robux currency icon, which was replaced in 2019. Since then this texture has never been used.
clb_robux_20.png
Appears to be an early redesign for what would replace the older icon (seen above) for the Robux currency.
icon_premium-16.png
It seems like the player list icon for Roblox Premium (the membership that replaced Builders Club) was originally going to be a diamond, but it was replaced with a P.
VRChatBackground.png
This image is a gray square with rounded corners. It can be assumed that this is a 9-square image, which is used in Roblox development to give objects rounded corners, as up until recently, the GUI engine did not natively support rounded corners. The image was probably going to give the chat box rounded corners when the user is in VR, however, this wasn't used and the chat box is the same as the desktop and mobile chat box, with square corners.
Unused Roblox Logo
The Roblox logo was included in the game files which was used in a loading screen for about a week during 2014 which replaced the simple loading status text in the middle of the screen. An example of this screen can be seen in videos from the time, for example, this one, This was replaced with a much simpler loading screen, which only included the game's name and its creator.
LoadingSpinner.png
As mentioned above, from 2014 to July 24, 2017, this spinner was the status indicator that appeared on the loading screen, it had 'Loading...' written in the middle of it. It eventually became unused and a spinning Roblox logo took its place.
Unused Microphone Icon
An icon for a microphone exists in the game's files.
Unused Faces
In an effort to phase away from their programmer art style, Roblox tried to propose new cartoony face styles and characters around 2012.
Due to the overwhelmingly negative community feedback, these face styles were scrapped (for the most part at least...), but they still remain uploaded on the catalog. The Sarge, Missy, and Max faces were shown in a post on the ROBLOX Blog.

Hack of April 2012 Faces
These faces were not officially made by Roblox, but were created by players, and released 'officially' by the Roblox account during the hack of April 2012. Although the faces have been removed from the Catalog, the image files for them remain.
Face Name | Face Image Link | Image | Description |

Unused Meshes
In Roblox, meshes are models uploaded directly into the game with a specific ID and are usually used for making hats, gears, and other complex 3-D Materials.However, some appear to be completely unused.
Early Character Redesign
This appears to be an early attempt to redesign Roblox's character. The model was codenamed 'John', (most likely named after John Shedletsky, the first employee and former creative director of Roblox) and it is fully-modeled. It was placed on the Roblox blog in 2007 with a texture, and the textures were rediscovered on 10/27/2017, leaving the opportunity to create a recreation of the model. For whatever reason, it has a scale that makes it very large. This is a demonstration. The mesh can be found here.
Using the textures that were uploaded onto the site and fixing the UV maps on the mesh reveals some interesting things, namely that the hair texture was changed before it was uploaded onto the client and site. It's currently unknown if isolated versions of the limbs exist.
Trophy
At one point, while badges were still in development, they were going to be a full-on customized mesh rather than just a shiny block with a circle-cropped image of whatever you uploaded as the icon on it. This texture seems to have been designed in such a way that it could be easily retextured by the player, however, it's anyone's guess as to what was originally intended by the texture.
Here is a mockup of what it would look like in-game with a badge texture.
Lego Tree
A Lego tree mesh with an unknown purpose.
Egg Hunts
The annual Egg Hunts usually have some cut content, as do a lot of events, due to the approaching deadlines.
StackingDoll Egg
The StackingDoll Egg is an unused egg for the 2012 Egg Hunt. The model is split into twohalves, like a real stacking doll.
ColoredDotEgg
There is a texture titled ColoredDotEgg that was created around the time of the 2013 Egg Hunt. The background of the texture hides CommanderVideo from the Bit Trip series..
Friend Egg
The Friend Egg was supposed to be used during the 2014 Egg Hunt. It is unknown how you would have obtained this egg but it might have been obtained by playing with a friend or making friends during the event.
Gross Egg
The Gross Egg was supposed to be used in Egg Hunt 2018 that was cut. It is actually a retexture of the Malicious Egg from Egg Hunt 2014. There are also 2 other retextures of the Malicious Egg: one orange, the other purple. This is one of the few canceled eggs to be put on the catalog.
Inviter Egg
This Egg is the oldest canceled egg (that we have knowledge of) that exists. It was supposed to be used in the 2008 Egg Drop. It can be assumed that this egg was used in the now-defunct Invite a Friend program, where users could email friends invite links to gain an Inviter badge on their profile.
Eggsteriod
Another Egg meant for the 2018 Egg Hunt, It is unknown which world this egg was supposed to be collected in if this was a randomly spawning egg or an egg that you had to do a quest to obtain. This is one of the few canceled eggs to be put on the catalog.
Mad Egg (Original Version)
This is the early version of the Mad Egg that was used in the 2015 Egg Hunt. This was replaced with a dark red egg with three fancy knives stuffed in the top part.
Battle Egg
An egg meant for the 2013 Egg hunt based on another Roblox game called 'Roblox Battle', It might have been a cross-promotion with Roblox Battle.
TerribleKorbloxAncientBox
This egg-shaped box is an early version of the Terrible Gift of Korblox Ancients.
Dragon Scale Egg
Yet another egg meant for 2018, It looks rather unfinished so it was probably cut early and replaced by the Dreggon.
Unused Sounds

Debug Information
The game has couple of debugging tools built in which can be enabled and disabled on command.
Key Combination | Result | Screenshot |
---|---|---|
Ctrl+Shift+F1-Ctrl+Shift+F7 | Shows various things about the game like the physics engine. Can't be interacted with. F1 shows general information.F2 shows graphics information.F3 shows network information.F4 shows performance information.F5 shows a cutdown version of F4.F6 shows a modified microprofiler that is configured to work with Roblox.F7 shows the 'Performance Stats' (also can be enabled in the game's options). | |
F9 or typing /console into chat | Shows the game's Lua script logs, to determine what is going on in the background. Intended for game developers to debug their games online. If you own the game, you can access a Server Logs menu which allows you to type Lua commands while the game is running. |
Interestingly enough, the F1-F7 debug menus are the only remnants remaining of Roblox's legacy hard-coded UI system, from the ages prior to late 2009.
Almost all of the old built-in UI elements have been removed from the engine, in favor of using the publically accessible, Lua player GUIs.
Unleash your creativity and build virtual worlds
Roblox Studio is a comprehensive gaming suite, focusing on user-generated content for kids and adults alike. The program lets you build virtual worlds in a sandbox-like setting. While exploring multiple games in different categories, you can build structures, take over other cities, collect resources, and strategize to survive in hostile environments. Roblox has a huge collection of adventure games, which can be played on Mac, Windows, Android, and other major operating systems.
Keeps you engaged with loads of content options
If you’ve ever played Minecraft, League of Legends, or other similar games, Roblox’s interface and navigation will feel quite familiar. In fact, the studio offers various tools to design simple as well as complex structures. Additionally, you can choose from interactive avatars, use Robux to improve performance and upgrade resources to advance in the games. Roblox for Mac keeps you engaged with multiple on-screen elements, where something’s always happening in your virtual creations.
In order to start playing a game in the Roblox app, you need to create a basic account. The suite gives you the option to choose a character, who’s assigned some real estate. There are numerous maps, and you can explore hundreds of virtual worlds with ease. Since Roblox has primarily been designed for kids, it focuses on a simple interface. But that doesn’t mean limited creativity. On the contrary, the application offers endless possibilities to learn and foster curiosity among players.
What kind of content can you explore?
Since Roblox has user-generated content, it offers loads of maps. You can explore hundreds of virtual worlds on your Mac device. Whether you’re keen on designing simple maps or wish to erect multi-storeyed buildings, the app will give you the ability to work with your imagination and multiple tools.
The program even has an intuitive search function, which lets you easily find games developed by other users. Therefore, you can look for adventure games, racing games, shooting games, MMOs, RPGs, etc. Simply put, Roblox’s library of content has been attracting users around the world. The suite also has animations, short films, and other learning-based content.
What about the graphics?
While Roblox Studio doesn’t match the graphical standard of Diablo III or The Sims 4, it leverages user-generated content to work with pixelated worlds. It’s the same feeling you get from popular sandbox games designed for Mac devices. The blocky visuals, blurred colors, and patchy artwork have been intentionally used to replicate the aura of Minecraft-like games.
Roblox Studio uses engaging music to complement the on-screen elements. The pleasing ambiance created in the virtual worlds will keep you hooked to the games for hours. Every set comes with a different background score, letting you explore multiple sounds, effects, and cinematic layers. Having said that, the Roblox app has been designed for learning and fun. As such, comparing it to titles from major production houses will not exactly be fair.
Are there in-game purchases?
Though the application is free, it comes with the option to acquire materials, clothes, special powers, and avatars via Robux, the in-game currency. It can be purchased with real cash or points earned through different tasks. You can also be a part of the ‘Builder’s Club’, which gives you the ability to design multiple worlds, remove ads, and spend more time on the game with unique features.
What about safety and privacy?
Roblox for Mac is a safe application for children. It’s also being used by millions of accounts around the world. However, since the program encourages social interactions, parental guidance is highly recommended. For this purpose, and to minimize acts of bullying, Roblox works with a huge team of moderators. They work hard to remove malicious or unsuitable content from the platform. Fortunately, every profile comes with a dedicated ‘parent login’, which allows adults to keep a basic check on account activity.
Our take
Roblox Studio is a great choice for encouraging learning-based interactions, creativity, curiosity, and imagination among children. Since the application is free, it has garnered attention around the world. While playing the games, you’ll be a part of a solid community of gamers and content creators.
