The Sulfur Cube's ability to alter its behavior by absorbing different blocks introduces a new layer of emergent gameplay to Minecraft's sandbox mechanics.

Mojang released the Chaos Cubed update for Minecraft on June 17, 2026. The update adds the Sulfur Cave biome with geysers, sulfur crystal pillars, and new building blocks. A new mob, the Sulfur Cube, changes its properties based on the block it absorbs, with examples including cherry wood, magma cubes, and TNT.
The Sulfur Cave biome is the centerpiece of the update. Geysers launch players and mobs, sulfur blocks create nausea-inducing bubbles underwater, and sulfur crystal pillars fall from above. Two new building block sets, cinnabar and sulfur, come with stairs and slabs and can be combined into bricks.
The Sulfur Cube mob absorbs blocks to change its properties. Absorbing cherry wood gives it speed and elastic attacks; absorbing a magma cube grants contact damage; absorbing TNT makes it extremely dangerous. The update is available now.
