Mojang has announced the new Minecraft game update <strong>Chaos Cubed<\/strong> will be released next month on <strong>16th June 2026<\/strong>. It introduces the passive mob Sulfur cubes. Here&#8217;s a bit about them from Minecraft&#8217;s official website:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Sulfur cubes are passive mobs that spend their time aimlessly jumping around in sulfur caves \u2013 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Need to transport a sulfur cube in a more predictable way? No problem! Just scoop it up using a bucket and it\u2019ll so straight into your inventory, ready for a new home and a new adventure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols cols-2\">\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a title=\"MC\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/38498aed2536e\/mc.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/38498aed2536e\/mc.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"MC\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col col-1 col-width-50\"><a title=\"MC\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c81a2ee9eb743\/mc.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c81a2ee9eb743\/mc.445x250.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"MC\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Mojang<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"c0aac48c14ca2\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"MC\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c0aac48c14ca2\/mc.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c0aac48c14ca2\/mc.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"MC\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Mojang<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"minecraft-new-biome-dappled-forest\">Minecraft &#8211; New Biome: Dappled Forest<\/h3>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"BxTWNYL9_TE\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BxTWNYL9_TE?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\"><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The <strong>Dappled Forest<\/strong> has been revealed as a new biome being introduced.
