A '''sulfur cube''' is a [[Minecraft:bucket of mob|bucketable]] jumping [[Minecraft:passive mob]] found in [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]]. It can absorb a full-sized [[Minecraft:block]] into itself, which immobilizes it and makes it receive higher knockback from most attacks instead of damage. The block type a sulfur cube absorbs affects its physical properties, and some blocks cannot be absorbed. Blocks can be extracted using [[Minecraft:shears]], or by killing the sulfur cube.

'''Small sulfur cubes''' spawn in groups of two when a large sulfur cube dies. They grow up over time similarly to [[Minecraft:babies]] and cannot absorb blocks.

== Spawning ==
Large sulfur cubes spawn naturally in [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]] at light level 0.

Two small sulfur cubes spawn when a large sulfur cube dies, which can then grow up into large sulfur cubes; see {{Section link||Splitting}} below.

Despite being passive mobs, sulfur cubes cannot spawn in [[Minecraft:Peaceful]] difficulty,{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-237716||Sulfur Cube cannot spawn in Peaceful difficulty}}</ref> as they count as [[Minecraft:monster]]s.

{{Mob spawn table}}

== Behavior ==
Sulfur cubes are passive mobs that, by default, jump around aimlessly. In this state, they are susceptible to all sources of damage.

If a sulfur cube [[Minecraft:pathfind]]s into a block which can be [[Minecraft:climb]]ed, such as [[Minecraft:ladder]]s or [[Minecraft:vines]], the sulfur cube will climb the block. Sulfur cubes with absorbed blocks which are launched are also capable of climbing.{{Only|java}}

=== Splitting ===
Sulfur cubes come in two sizes: small and large. When a large sulfur cube dies, it splits into two small cubes. If a small sulfur cube dies, it does not split and drops nothing. When a named large sulfur cube is killed and splits, both small cubes retain the name.

Small sulfur cubes grow into large ones after 20 minutes, similarly to [[Minecraft:baby]] mobs. [[Minecraft:Slimeball]]s can be used to tempt and feed small sulfur cubes, which will decrease their remaining growth time. They can also be fed a [[Minecraft:golden dandelion]] to prevent them from growing.

=== Absorbing blocks ===
Large sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb some [[Minecraft:block]]s, mostly [[Minecraft:interaction box|full-sized]] ones. It can absorb a block [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|dropped]] on the ground, and also can be fed a block by {{control|interacting}} with it. Sulfur cubes move toward absorbable blocks dropped on the ground, and also follow players holding an applicable block in their hand. Small sulfur cubes cannot absorb blocks. A [[Minecraft:dispenser]] can also be used to make a sulfur cube absorb a block.

Any method of feeding a block to a sulfur cube can also be done on a sulfur cube that has already absorbed a block, which changes the block inside it and drops its previously-absorbed block as an item.

When a sulfur cube has absorbed a block, it stops moving and its absorbed block is visible inside of it. The absorbed block can be removed from a sulfur cube by using [[Minecraft:shears]] on it, which drops the block as an item.

Sulfur cubes in [[Minecraft:boat]]s and [[Minecraft:minecart]]s can still absorb blocks dropped on the ground. Shears in a [[Minecraft:dispenser]] can be used to remove the block from the sulfur cube while it is still in the boat or minecart.

Absorbed blocks in sulfur cubes have the same visual properties as when placed down, including MERS textures with [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]]. Froglights, for example, glow inside the sulfur cube, but they do not actually light the environment gameplay-wise. Throwing a [[Minecraft:splash potion of Invisibility]] on a sulfur cube will show only the absorbed block.

Sulfur cubes can absorb [[Minecraft:Anvil#Renaming|named]] blocks; the block will remain named if removed, but the name tag will not display above the sulfur cube.

Sulfur cubes can only absorb the specific blocks listed in the {{Section link||Absorbed properties}} section.

=== Item interactions ===
A large sulfur cube can be picked up by using an empty [[Minecraft:bucket]] on it to create a [[Minecraft:bucket of sulfur cube]]. If a named sulfur cube is bucketed, the name of the item becomes "Bucket of ''<name>''" (the sulfur cube's name).

If the bucketed sulfur cube has an absorbed block, the bucket of sulfur cube item tooltip displays the name of the absorbed block, unless the sulfur cube is also named.

=== Damage resistance ===
A sulfur cube that has absorbed a block is resistant to the following forms of damage:
* [[Minecraft:Melee attack]]s
* [[Minecraft:Projectile]]s
* [[Minecraft:Falling block]]s, including [[Minecraft:anvil]]s and [[Minecraft:stalactite]]s
* [[Minecraft:Explosion]]s{{only|be}}
* [[Minecraft:Fall damage]], including onto [[Minecraft:stalagmite]]s
* [[Minecraft:Freezing]]
* Contact with [[Minecraft:cactus]] or [[Minecraft:sweet berry bushes]]
Other sources of damage, such as [[Minecraft:fire]], [[Minecraft:suffocation]], [[Minecraft:cramming]] or [[Minecraft:poison]], can damage or kill the sulfur cube as normal.

Some hostile mobs will attack the sulfur cube even while it has absorbed a block, such as [[Minecraft:zoglin]]s, the [[Minecraft:wither]] and [[Minecraft:warden]]s. Although the sulfur cube is immune to the warden's melee damage, they can be killed by its [[Minecraft:sonic boom]]. Additionally, tamed [[Minecraft:wolves]] will attack a sulfur cube which their owner attacks.

=== Launching ===
When affected by [[Minecraft:Knockback (mechanic)|knockback]], the sulfur cube is launched and may bounce like a ball. The direction and trajectory in which a sulfur cube is launched are dependent on where on its body it is hit.{{Needs testing|May not be implemented yet in Bedrock Edition.}}

The force at which a sulfur cube is launched is based on the amount of damage the attack does. For example, hitting it with a [[Minecraft:diamond sword]] ({{hp|7}} {{In|Java}} or {{hp|8}} {{In|Bedrock}}) launches it farther than punching it without an item ({{hp|1}}).

Depending on the absorbed block, the sulfur cube exhibits different properties when hit.

* A simplified version of the front texture of the sulfur cube is depicted on the [[Minecraft:chiseled sulfur]] block.
* Prior to sulfur cubes, the idea of [[Minecraft:slime]]s being used as a ball appeared as a brief visual gag in [[Minecraft:Village & Pillage: Official Trailer]].
* In the first ''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition Preview]]'', the golf ball archetype would cause the cube to stick to ceilings.
