Mojang unveiled its next major update for Minecraft, titled “Chaos Cubed,” during Minecraft Live on March 21, 2026.

Minecraft LIVE 2026 Recap
Exploring the Sulfur Caves
“Chaos Cubed” centers around the sulfur caves, a new cave biome that will spawn in various overworld biomes, ensuring accessibility for players. These caves feature sulfur pools and a variety of new blocks to mine. However, players should exercise caution near the sulfur pools, as prolonged exposure results in the “noxious” effect, likely causing damage over time. Chaos Cubed – Minecraft Wiki
New Blocks: Cinnabar and Sulfur Families
The update introduces two new families of blocks: cinnabar and sulfur. Cinnabar blocks are red-colored and include variations like stairs, slabs, and walls, as well as polished and brick forms. Sulfur blocks are yellow-colored and offer similar variations. “Potent Sulfur” is a new block that emits bubbles when placed underwater, creating gas particles on the surface that inflict the Nausea effect on players.

Introducing the Sulfur Cube
The Sulfur Cube is a passive, slime-like mob that spawns within the sulfur caves. Notably, it appears to be immune to fall damage. When defeated, the Sulfur Cube splits into two smaller cubes, similar to other slime-like mobs. The unique aspect of the Sulfur Cube is its ability to absorb materials, altering its properties and potentially creating new block types. Players can manually feed the Sulfur Cube or allow it to absorb materials independently when within range. Chaos Cubed – Minecraft Wiki
Minecraft Experiences Expand to New Locations
Beyond “Chaos Cubed,” Mojang continues to expand Minecraft into the real world with new experiences. “Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue” is currently traveling globally and will soon be available in Herning, Singapore, Mexico City, and Chicago. Minecraft LIVE 2026 Recap
