What is the Sulfur Cube?

The Sulfur Cube is a passive mob from the Minecraft 26.2 Chaos Cubed update. It lives in Sulfur Caves, absorbs full solid blocks, and takes on one of 12 unique physical archetypes depending on what it eats.

How many archetypes does the Sulfur Cube have?

Twelve: Regular, Bouncy, Slow Flat, Fast Flat, Light, Fast Sliding, Slow Sliding, Sticky, High Resistance, Explosive, Hot and Slow Bouncy. Each changes speed, bounciness, friction, air resistance and buoyancy.

Where does the Sulfur Cube spawn?

Only in the new Sulfur Caves biome — recognizable by yellow sulfur blocks, red cinnabar blocks and sulfuric lakes. Cubes spawn in groups of 2 to 4 and despawn when no players are nearby.

How do I extract a block from a Sulfur Cube?

Use Shears on the cube — the absorbed block drops as an item. A dispenser loaded with shears also works. Exception: a primed TNT cube cannot be sheared.

How do I catch a Sulfur Cube in a bucket?

Find a large Sulfur Cube, hold an empty bucket and click on it — you get a Bucket of Sulfur Cube. Small cubes cannot be bucketed.

When does the Chaos Cubed update release?

Full release of Minecraft Java 26.2 / Bedrock 26.30 is expected in Q2 2026. The Sulfur Cube has been available in snapshots since April 2026 (Snapshot 1) and refined in Snapshot 3 and Snapshot 6.
