Summary

  • Minecraft’s Chaos Cubed update rolls out globally on June 16, with Mojang expected to release it around 8 a.m. PT across both game editions.
  • Sulfur Cube headlines the update — a slime-like mob that gains different abilities from blocks players feed it, creating new minigame and experimentation options.
  • Sulfur Caves add the update’s new biome, along with Cinnabar and Sulfur blocks, Potent Sulfur pools, geysers and Sulfur Spikes.
  • Bedrock Edition gets Parties, letting up to 15 players move together between worlds and Realms without repeated invitations; Java also adds friend features.
  • Mojang is also set to publish official patch notes as the summer 2026 game drop goes live, alongside the new Bounce music disc.
