Snapshot teases sulfur caves

Minecraft’s next named game drop is titled “Chaos Cubed” and is tracked for Java Edition 26.2 and Bedrock Edition 26.30 following the March 21, 2026 Minecraft Live reveal. (minecraft.wiki) The new cube mob introduced in the stream is called the Sulfur Cube; developers demonstrated it absorbing blocks players feed it or drop nearby and changing into a physics-driven, damage-immune ball when it has absorbed material. (youtube.com) Streams and follow-up coverage showed the underground region around the new features contains pools that emit visible gas particles and apply a nausea debuff to players who stand in them. (minecraft.wiki) Mojang preview footage and wiki notes list two new decorative block families tied to the drop — sulfur and cinnabar block sets — with craftable variants such as raw, brick, polished and chiseled versions shown in early builds. (minecraft.wiki) Mojang confirmed the showcase during the March 21 live event but has not fixed an exact release date for the Chaos Cubed drop; outlets reporting on the reveal estimate a summer window with some projections pegging Java 26.2 to mid‑to‑late June 2026. (minecraft.wiki) (beebom.com) The March livestream was presented by Mojang staff including on‑stage demos from Agnes, Daniel and Marco, and lead designer Jens Bergensten was cited in coverage as the public face of the reveal.
