'''Chaos Cubed''' is an upcoming [[Minecraft:game drop]] that will release as [[Minecraft:Java Edition 26.2]] and [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.30]] during the second quarter of 2026. It focuses on the sulfur caves, a cave [[Minecraft:biome]] that is home to sulfur cubes, the new [[Minecraft:sulfur]] and [[Minecraft:cinnabar]] blocks with their respective [[Minecraft:Block variant|variant]]s, as well as sulfur pools with noxious gas that inflicts the Nausea effect. It was announced at Minecraft LIVE – March 2026.

Some features of this drop will be released earlier as an experiment in [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.20]].

* '''[[File:Chiseled Sulfur.png|32px]] Chiseled sulfur'''
* '''[[File:Potent Sulfur.png|32px]] Potent sulfur'''
** A version of sulfur that generates underwater in sulfur pools and springs.
** When placed underwater, it will emit bubbles and a cloud of noxious gas at the surface.
*** Players and mobs get Nausea when they enter [[Minecraft:water]] that is near or touching the noxious gas.
** Can be crafted using 9 sulfur blocks.
** Can be used to craft 4 [[Minecraft:sulfur]] blocks.

=== Items ===
'''{{InvSprite|Bucket of Sulfur Cube}} Bucket of sulfur cube'''
* Obtained by picking a sulfur cube using an empty [[Minecraft:bucket]].
* Can be used to transport the sulfur cube to a new location.

'''{{InvSprite|Sulfur Cube Spawn Egg}} Sulfur cube spawn egg'''
* Used to spawn a sulfur cube.

=== Mobs ===
'''[[File:Sulfur Cube JE1.png|32px]] [[File:Sulfur Cube JE1.png|15px]] Sulfur cube'''
* A passive slime-like mob that spawns in sulfur caves.
* Immune to fall damage.
* When killed, it will split into 2 small cubes, like other slime-like mobs.
** Unlike the slime and magma cube, the small versions can grow up into the large version, like how a baby mob works.
*** Because of this, they can be tempted and fed with [[Minecraft:slimeball]]s or fed a golden dandelion.
* It is attracted to the [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|dropped item]] form of most full blocks. The cube can pick up a block, or a player can {{ctrl|use}} a full block on the cube, causing the cube to absorb it into its body.
** [[File:Sulfur Cube Stone JE1.png|32px]] In this state, they become stuck in place and cannot be damaged by most entities. Instead, they are knocked back when attacked. They still take damage from environmental sources such as cacti and burning for example.
*** The knockback also depends on the damage that would have been dealt, with stronger attacks sending the cube further.
** Can be leashed in that state.
** Blocks can be swapped by clicking.
** Shearing it removes and drops the block, reverting back to normal.
** Depending on the block, they will behave differently when punched while in its immobile state, the following properties are:
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Stone.png|32px]] Football/Regular''': Medium speed, medium bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag. (block example: [[Minecraft:stone]])
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Oak Log.png|32px]] Rubber ball/Bouncy''': Fast speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag. (block example: oak log)
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Moss Block.png|32px]] Golf ball/Fast flat''': Fast speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag. (block example: moss block)
**** Sinks underwater.
***[[File:Sulfur Cube Ice.png|32px]]''' Hockey puck/Fast sliding''': Fast speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag. (block example: [[Minecraft:ice]])
**** Sinks underwater.
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Soul Sand.png|32px]] High resistance''': Very slow, low drag with low bounce with high friction. (block example: soul sand)
**** Sinks underwater.
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube White Wool.png|32px]] Beach ball/Light''': Slow speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and high air drag. (block example: white wool)
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Block of Iron.png|32px]] Medicine ball/Slow flat''': Slow speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and medium air drag. (block example: block of iron)
**** Sinks underwater.
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Mushroom Block.png|32px]] Curling stone/Slow sliding''': Slow speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag. (block example: red mushroom block)
**** Sinks underwater.
***'''[[File:Sulfur Cube Honeycomb.png|32px]] Sticky''': Same properties as a golf ball, but sticks with extremely high ground friction and no bounce to simulate stickiness, only affects the honeycomb block.
**** Sinks underwater.
