Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.30

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox version Template:Relevant guide 26.30, the release of Minecraft:Chaos Cubed, is an upcoming Minecraft:game drop for Template:BE set to release in the second quarter of 2026. It focuses on the Minecraft:sulfur caves, a cave biome that is home to Minecraft:sulfur cubes, as well as the new Minecraft:sulfur and Minecraft:cinnabar blocks and their respective variants.

Additions

Blocks

File:Cinnabar.png Minecraft:Cinnabar

• A red-colored block that generates in sulfur caves.

File:Sulfur.png Minecraft:Sulfur

• A yellow-colored block that generates in sulfur caves.
• Used to craft or cut sulfur width=32x32 stairs, width=32x32 slabs, width=32x32 walls, width=32x32 Minecraft:polished sulfur, width=32x32 stairs, width=32x32 slabs, width=32x32 walls, width=32x32 Minecraft:sulfur bricks, width=32x32 brick stairs, width=32x32 brick slabs, width=32x32 brick walls, and width=32x32 Minecraft:chiseled sulfur.

File:Potent Sulfur.png Minecraft:Potent sulfur

• A variant of sulfur that emits bubbles when placed underwater. It also produces a cluster of noxious gas particles in the water's surface.
• Players and mobs get Minecraft:Nausea when they enter water that is near and directly or indirectly connected to the block.

File:Sulfur Spike Tip (D) JE1.png Minecraft:Sulfur spike

• Generates naturally on Minecraft:sulfur blocks inside the Minecraft:sulfur caves biome.
• Forms a stalactite if placed on the ceiling or a stalagmite if placed on the floor.
• Can be combined to form longer stalactites and stalagmites.
• Stalactites and stalagmites merge if the tips are next to each other, unless placed while Minecraft:crouching.
• Stalagmites will break if not attached to something below.
• Stalactites fall down if not attached to something above.
• Being hit by a falling stalactite or falling on a stalagmite deals damage.
• Thrown Minecraft:tridents break sulfur spikes.
• 4 sulfur spikes can be crafted into a Minecraft:sulfur block.

Items

File:Sulfur Cube Spawn Egg.png Minecraft:Sulfur cube spawn egg

• Used to spawn a sulfur cube.

File:Bucket of Sulfur Cube.png Minecraft:Bucket of sulfur cube

• Obtained by Template:Ctrl a Minecraft:bucket on a Minecraft:sulfur cube.
• When used, spawns a sulfur cube.

Mobs

File:Sulfur Cube.png Minecraft:Sulfur cube

• A Minecraft: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 Minecraft:slime and Minecraft:magma cube, the small versions can grow up into the large version, like how a Minecraft:baby mob works.
• It is attracted to the dropped item form of full blocks. The cube can pick up a block, or a player can Template:Ctrl a full block on the cube, causing the cube to absorb it into its body.
  • File:Sulfur Cube Stone.png In this state, they become immobile and cannot be damaged by most entities. Instead it will be knocked back when attacked.
    • The knockback also depends on the damage that would have been dealt, with stronger attacks sending the cube further.
  • Minecraft:Shearing it removes and drops the block, reverting back to normal.
  • Depending on the full block, they will behave differently when punched while in its immobile state, examples are:
    • Minecraft:Blocks of iron make it heavy, i.e. it will have higher gravity.
    • Minecraft:Wool makes it floaty, i.e. it will have lower gravity.
    • Wooden logs and stems make it bouncy.
    • Minecraft:Ice reduces its friction, making it slide more.
• Can be caught in Minecraft:buckets to move it.

Surface Builders

• The Template:Cd schema definition has been added. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:
  • Template:Cd: The string used to initialize the noise. Has no impact on the qualitative aspects of the generated values (required).
  • Template:Cd: Governs the general frequency characteristics of the generated noise. Lower value results in noise with lower frequency content (required).
  • Template:Cd: Governs the attenuation of the first n octaves in the generated noise (required).
• The Template:Cd schema definition has been added. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:
  • Template:Cd: The noise identifier associated with a particular Template:Cd (non-required).
  • Template:Cd: The minimum sampled noise value associated with the provided block (non-required).
  • Template:Cd: The range of sampled noise value associated with the provided block (non-required).
  • Template:Cd: The block to place if the noise sample satisfies either the threshold or range condition (required).
• The Template:Cd surface and subsurface builder has an updated API consisting of the following:
  • Template:Cd: a Template:Cd (required).
