• It is not clear if multiple shades of this exist from the reveal footage.
• The closest of these to the camera have their bottom halves mostly obscured by shorter variants; however, it seems as though they are indeed two blocks high, rather than one block high growing on an obscured grass block.

• Tall green foliage visible in the distance of the reveal footage.

File:White tree log.png White tree log Template:Conjecture

• This stalactite-like block, much like Minecraft:pale hanging moss from Minecraft:pale oak trees or Minecraft:weeping vines from Minecraft:huge crimson fungi, appears to hang down from the white tree features, attached to the underside of white tree leaves blocks.

Mobs

• A small, passive rabbitlike<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref> mob that is native to the Sift and can squeak.

Environment

The Sift appears to have a significant amount of elevation changes; cliffs of at least a dozen blocks may be seen, and the top of a tree-like structure can be seen in the distance between some of the foliage in the foreground, implying a height difference of several dozen blocks.

Biomes

Pink meadow Template:Conjecture

• A biome that is floored with salmon/pink dirt-like blocks and grasses.
• The blub is seen in this biome.

Green Meadow Template:Conjecture

• A biome that is floored with green dirt-like blocks and grasses visible in the distance to the right of the White forest in the reveal footage.

White forest Template:Conjecture

• A biome wooded with white trees.
• Seems to generate trees densely packed together similarly to Minecraft:dark forests.

Features

File:White tree.png White tree Template:Conjecture

• Generated feature composed of dark gray log-like blocks similar to Minecraft:pale oak logs and white leaf-like blocks.
• Appears to generate with a thick trunk that thins further up the tree, with the thicker part of the trunk appearing much thicker than the trunks of previously existing Minecraft:tree types.

History

Trivia

• Despite Minecraft:Agnes Larsson stating that the Sift is the first new dimension to be implemented into the base game in 14 years, its 2027-scheduled implementation actually increases that count to at least 15, as Minecraft:the End was implemented first in November 2011.
  • As of currently, the End was first accessible in a development version Template:Age in years and days ago (Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4, released 2011-10-13), and in a full release Template:Age in years and days ago (Minecraft:Java Edition 1.0.0, released 2011-11-18).
