Chaos Cubed is here
Published: June 16, 2026 - View official source
Can you hear that? It almost sounds like the distant rumble of chaos bouncing, sliding, and exploding its way into Minecraft?
That’s right, the Chaos Cubed game drop is out TODAY in Minecraft – bringing with it chaos in the form of sulfur cubes, a dizzying cave biome to explore, colorful blocks to build with, and more!
Chaos in cube form
The sulfur cube isn’t just a mob – it’s a source of endless experimentation and possibility!
That’s because the sulfur cube’s physical properties will change depending on what sort of block it has absorbed. Different blocks will change the sulfur cube’s speed, its bounciness, and its overall chaos levels, so there’s a perfect cube combo for every situation — and countless more waiting to be discovered. We’ll show you three to get started, but the rest are yours to uncover!
Got a need for speed? Give a sulfur cube a wood block! When a sulfur cube absorbs an organic block (like cherry wood) it becomes really bouncy – and really fast! Perfect if you’re trying to win against your friends in Minecraft golf. Not so great if you’re trying to win a game of creeper dodgeball, in which case you might want to employ a different sulfur cube combination: the magma sulfur cube!
If you’re the sort of player that perpetually exists with just half a heart of health – beware the magma sulfur cube! Not quite as fast as the cherry wood sulfur cube, nor as bouncy – but the danger levels with the magma sulfur cube are definitely higher – especially if you haven’t recovered your hearts in a while. This cube is perfect for a game of hot potato (hot magma cube? Hmm, it doesn’t quite have the same ring to it) with friends, or a friendly neighbourhood Enderman!
Actually, if you’re locking eyes with an Enderman you might want to engage in ultimate chaos, which brings us to…
Is it a mob, or a weapon? Well, a bit like Minecraft’s iconic creeper – a sulfur cube that has absorbed TNT can be both! Like regular TNT you’ll still have to ignite it with a fire source, but unlike regular TNT the sulfur cube can still move with TNT absorbed! I wouldn’t call it a precision mob though, so exercise caution!
Chaos in caves
That’s not the only source of chaos coming in this drop either. Geysers can send players (and mobs) skywards on a plume of water – and while sulfur pools look relaxing, those bubbling waters will actually leave you with a spot of the Nausea effect thanks to the potent sulfur blocks.
Oh, and while you’re exploring the sulfur caves, watch out for sulfur spikes! These form on cave ceilings and floors like stalactites and stalagmites, and they can also fall randomly from the sky, and cause damage! Ooooh, chaotic.
Chaos with blocks
If you think you’ll escape the chaos by just focussing on the colorful blocks coming with this drop, then THINK AGAIN.
With vibrant red cinnabar and gloriously yellow sulfur blocks each coming with their own block set, you can indulge in a little creative chaos and paint your Overworld in new shades of red and yellow! Cobble them, craft with them, turn them into stairs or bricks – the choice is yours.
