Bedrock is the only material in the game that cannot be mined with any pickaxe in the game, or with any other tool.
Obtaining
It can be placed and removed in creative mode, but it can't be removed by mining in Survival mode.
Generation
Bedrock forms the boundaries in the Overworld, bottom (x=0 to x=1000), and sides of the map (y=0 to y=300). This material is "protection" to prevent the player from falling into the void. Note that if you fall through it you will die, even in creative mode. It also forms the boundaries of the Nether, however in the Nether there is also a top layer.
Bedrock generates at the top of the obsidian towers in the End, with healing crystals on it.
Nethereye
Bedrock has a 1 in 30 chance to be dropped by a Nethereye. The chance increases if it is killed with a sword enchanted with looting.
Usage
Bedrock cannot be destroyed by mining in survival, or by explosions, so it works like a visible barrier. It also cannot be moved using pistons.
The only way to break it is in creative mode, although this is not recommended.

Bugs
