Mojang just wrapped Minecraft Live, and if the name of the next drop is anything to go by, things are about to get very weird in Minecraft. The upcoming Chaos Cubed update was the headline reveal, and based on the first look, it earns that name.
The Sulfur Cube Is Unlike Any Mob Mojang Has Made
The star of the show is the Sulfur Cube, a new mob whose physics and properties actually shift depending on what materials it absorbs. That's the core hook here, and it's a genuinely fresh idea for Minecraft. Feed it something, or let it absorb a nearby material on its own, and it transforms. Mojang hasn't spelled out exactly what each material does, but the implication is clear: this thing is unpredictable by design.
Think about what that could mean in practice. A Sulfur Cube that soaks up wood might become a rigid structural block. One that grabs slime could turn bouncy and erratic. The specific interactions are still under wraps, but the mechanic itself signals that Chaos Cubed isn't just a catchy title.
Sulfur Caves Are the New Biome to Watch
The Sulfur Cube won't just be roaming the overworld. It calls the new Sulfur Caves home, a subterranean environment that can spawn beneath many of the game's existing biomes. That's a smart design choice since it means you won't need to travel far to find one.
Down in these caves, you'll find sulfur pools and fresh blocks to mine, including Sulfur (yellow) and Cinnabar (red). Both come in raw, bricks, chiseled, and polished variants, which makes them immediately useful for builders looking for new palettes. The catch? Linger near those sulfur pools too long and you'll pick up the noxious effect, which appears to deal damage over time. So it's not exactly a relaxing place to set up a base.

Dungeons 2 and the Tiny Takeover Bridge
Chaos Cubed wasn't the only announcement. Mojang also teased Minecraft Dungeons 2, with wishlists now open, though details beyond that remain scarce for now. It's a notable signal that the studio is ready to revisit that corner of the Minecraft universe in a bigger way.
Before any of that lands, though, the Tiny Takeover update was confirmed to release on March 24, so that's the immediate next stop on Minecraft's update roadmap. Chaos Cubed doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, but you can keep an eye on the Minecraft articles page for official updates straight from Mojang as more details roll out.
For the full picture of what was unveiled at the event, the Minecraft Live March 2026 recap has a solid breakdown of all the announcements and reveals. Chaos Cubed is shaping up to be one of the more inventive drops Minecraft has seen in a while, and the closer we get to a release date, the clearer that picture will become.
