Ubisoft Club Rewards

Main article: Ubisoft Club Rewards

The Ubisoft Club Rewards system was one of the few features available only to the discontinued console edition of Growtopia. By earning achievements, players could obtain exclusive tokens, which would be able to be traded for unique items.

Four of the exclusive items obtained through this system has been added to the PC/mobile version of Growtopia: Glowing Shirt, Plunger, The Brother Hood, and the Unicorn. One, however, is still yet to be added: the Energy Drink.

Items

Left Pointy Sign & Right Pointy Sign

Item's method of obtaining is currently unknown.
In-game description is not available.

Left Pointy Sign, as its name might suggest, was a solid sign foreground block which was an early template for signs in the game. This item was scrapped from the game in its beta stage. It seemingly behaved in a similar manner to the Pointy Sign, and had the differect arrow at desing as well.

The item was completely overwritten by Daisy, along with its data and sprite.

Lock, as its name might suggest, was a solid lock foreground block which was an early template for locks in the game. This item was scrapped from the game in its beta stage. It seemingly behaved in a similar manner to the Huge Lock, and had the same design as well.

Painting: Dink On Fire
Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Spikey Hair Seed + Lava Seed
In-game description is not available.

Painting: Dink On Fire was a background block which was scrapped from the game in its beta stage. Its sprite featured the protagonist of Dink Smallwood behind a fiery explosion, thus the name, "Dink On Fire".

Nyan Hat / Taco Dog/Turtle Hat

File:Nyan Hat Icon.png Nyan Hat
1 could be obtained from purchasing the item itself for 25,000 gems in the Growtopia Store.
"NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN"

The Nyan Hat was a hat item which was added alongside Phonecats Hat on March 7, 2013. Both items were based on the Nyan Cat internet meme.

In May 2013, Christopher Torres, the copyright owner of Nyan Cat, sued Warner Bros. for an unauthorized usage of the character. In light of this, the developers decided to alter the Nyan Hat's design in order to avoid any copyright issue themselves.

File:Taco Dog Icon.png Taco Dog
1 could be obtained from purchasing the item itself for 25,000 gems in the Growtopia Store.
In-game description is not available.

Per fan suggestion, the Taco Dog was introduced on May 11, 2013 as the Nyan Hat's replacement. While the Taco Dog seemed like a good idea at that time, it was soon discovered that the Taco Dog was another creation of Torres. A poll was soon posted, asking the playerbase for ideas for the second redesign.

The possible choices for the redesign at that time were Yerfdog, Piggy Bank, Turtle, Kitty, and Puppy. The poll closed on May 13, with Turtle winning 45.12% of the votes. The Turtle Hat was then rolled out on May 16. A teaser was first posted on the RTsoft forums hours before its release.

A Burglar

A Burglar
Item's method of obtaining is currently unknown.
In-game description is not available.

A Burglar was a solid SFX foreground block which was added as part of the GROWTECHPHARMA world event on May 16, 2013, a day before the addition of Zombie Defense Pack. When a player punched the block, it played a hurt animation and said, "Ow, Stop!".

The item was completely overwritten by Tombstone, along with its data and sprite. Its sound effect is now played only when an Awkward Friendly Unicorn is punched.

Phonecats Hat

Main article: Phonecats Hat

The Phonecats Hat is an unobtainable hat item which was added on March 7, 2013, exclusively given to Phonecats/pcats (YouTube: phonecatss) for his contributions as a content creator during Growtopia's early stages.

Its old design was similar to the Nyan Hat, both of which were based on the Nyan Cat internet meme. The item's sprite was changed sometime between SummerFest 2013 and Rise of the Desert Dragons (a few months after Nyan Hat was replaced by Turtle Hat) in order to prevent any legal issue.

Emerald Lock

Main article: Emerald Lock

The Emerald Lock is a solid lock foreground block which was added as part of St. Patrick's Week 2015 on March 13, 2015. It gives an effect akin to that of Arroz Con Pollo, giving a 10% chance of adding an extra gem drop when breaking blocks.

On April 2, 2016, hours after the Artsy April update was launched, the texture of the Emerald Lock was changed. 4 dark green dots were added on both the left and right side of the lock, seemingly mimicking a four-leaf clover, to prevent players from painting regular World Locks to make them look like an Emerald Lock.

Pineapple

The Pineapple is a splicable consumable which was added as part of Super Pineapple Party 2015.

Before Super Pineapple Party 2016, the Pineapple had a different sprite (found in tiles_page4.rttex). The sprite was seemingly changed in order to match the one used for Weather Machine - Pineapples.

Black Cat Ears

Main article: Black Cat Ears

The Black Cat Ears is an unsplicable hat item which was added as part of Player Appreciation Week 2019 Day 3 on August 21, 2019.

An update on August 23, 2019 saw a redesign to the Black Cat Ears. JamSandwich, who worked as part of the developer team, pushed for this change after reviewing the playerbase's reaction towards the previous design. The old sprites could be found in player_cosmetics1.rttex and player_cosmetics1_icon.rttex, and no longer exist in the current versions of the files.

Preliminary Splicing Recipes

In the item_definitions.txt file, found in old builds of Growtopia, there are a few splicing recipes that have been altered or removed.

Lava	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Cave Background Seed + Rock Seed
Door	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Dirt Seed + Rock Seed
Cave Background	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Dirt Seed + Door Seed
Grass	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Green Shirt Seed + Pickaxe Seed
Sign	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Pickaxe Seed + Rock Seed
Daisy	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Jeans Seed + Boots Seed

Danger Sign	Dropped from harvesting its tree, made by splicing: •    Crappy Sign Seed + Pickaxe Seed

The fact that clothes are quite prevalent present in the recipes could indicate that clothing seeds were able to and meant to have seeds.
