Developer Mojang aired a special Minecraft Live event from Twitchcon Rotterdam this weekend and it featured announcements for not only Minecraft but also Minecraft Dungeons 2, and even the upcoming movie sequel.
Here’s a quick recap in case you missed it:
Minecraft Chaos Cubed Drop – Available 16th June 2026
It’s official! Mojang has announced the new Minecraft game update Chaos Cubed will be released next month on 16th June 2026. It introduces the passive mob Sulfur cubes. Here’s a bit about them from Minecraft’s official website:
“Sulfur cubes are passive mobs that spend their time aimlessly jumping around in sulfur caves – that is until you feed them a block. Sulfur cubes will ingest a variety of blocks, which you can either feed to them or just drop in their vicinity. Once absorbed, each block will have a different effect on the sulfur cube’s physical properties. Experiment and discover how to send a sulfur cube flying, bouncing, sliding, and more! Hint: you can even feed TNT and magma to sulfur cubes.
“Need to transport a sulfur cube in a more predictable way? No problem! Just scoop it up using a bucket and it’ll so straight into your inventory, ready for a new home and a new adventure.”
This update also adds sulfur caves, spikes, springs and geysers. In addition to this, players can expect new block sets, the Bounce music disc, and much more.
