Chaos Cubed announced as another big update for Minecraft with a unique new mob

While the Tiny Takeover game drop update hasn't released yet, Mojang are already announcing the next big update to Minecraft called Chaos Cubed. This was revealed during the latest Minecraft Live for March 2026.

Chaos Cubed will bring with it the new sulfur caves biome filled with noxious pools that will cause "strange dizzying-style" effects if you venture a bit too close along with new block sets of cinnabar and sulfur. The real fun sounding bit is the new mob, the sulfur cube, which is nothing like anything else in the game. The new mob will change depending on what it consumes. As Mojang explained:

Give it some wood and it might start acting a bit like a cubic “ball” type-thing. Let it consume ice and it will slide around, more like a chunky, oversized hockey puck. Develop your sulfur cube skills and you can pull off some amazing shots but like most things in Minecraft, things don’t always go exactly to plan! The sulfur cube can absorb loads of different block types, providing infinite potential for experimentation.

This mob allows for even more creativity in your builds and refined chaos in your mini-games. We showcase a few ideas in this segment but, like everything we bring to the game, we’re mostly excited to see what you get up to when Chaos Cubed enters testing.
