	A '''sulfur cube''' is a [[Minecraft:bucket of Sulfur Cube\|bucketable]] jumping [[Minecraft:passive mob]] that is found only in [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]]. It can absorb a full-sized [[Minecraft:block]] into itself, which immobilizes it and makes it receive higher [[Minecraft:Knockback (mechanic)\|knockback]] from most attacks instead of damage. The block type a sulfur cube absorbs affects its bounciness and behavior, and some blocks cannot be absorbed, such as [[Minecraft:slab]]s and [[Minecraft:stairs]]. Blocks can be extracted using [[Minecraft:shears]], ~~killing the sulfur cube, or~~ replacing the block with a different one.
