Minecraft Update 3.39 Adds New Cubes
Chaos Cubed Features
Bucket of Sulfur Cube
- Need an easy way of getting your new Sulfur Cube friend from the Sulfur caves to your base? Sure, you could experiment with blocks to make the Sulfur Cube bounce, slide, or traverse long distances – or you can just scoop it up with a bucket and tuck it safely away in your inventory.
Sulfur Cubes
- Sulfur Cubes are a new mob coming to Minecraft with a curious appetite for… blocks! Found in Sulfur caves, this curious mob transforms depending on which block the player feeds it. Experiment and discover how to send Sulfur Cubes bouncing, sliding, and more!
Sulfur springs
- Found across the Overworld, you’ll know if you’ve spotted a Sulfur pool thanks to its Sulfur and Cinnabar blocks – and the noxious gas coming from it! But dig beneath these and you’ll discover a Sulfur cave, filled with new blocks to mine and a new mob to meet!
Potent Sulfur
- The new potent Sulfur block is the reason why Sulfur springs are so bubbly – and a bit nauseating. You can also create hot bubbling pools by placing potent Sulfur beneath water! You’ll soon spy bubble columns, as well as puffs of noxious gas. Build with caution, because noxious gas will trigger nausea in players and nearby mobs!
Sulfur caves
- Discover this new cave type, with shallow pools of water and glow lichen. Sulfur caves are filled with yellow blocks of Sulfur, red blocks of Cinnabar, Sulfur spikes, and a curious mob called the Sulfur Cube!
New block sets
- You’ll find two new block sets in Sulfur caves – Cinnabar and Sulfur! These new blocks allow you to add rich reds and yellows into your builds, and each comes with its own full block set. Cobble them, craft with them, turn them into stairs or bricks – the choice is yours!
Sulfur Spikes
- Sulfur Spikes grow on Cinnabar and Sulfur blocks, giving Sulfur caves a distinctive look. Unlike Pointed Dripstone, stepping on Sulfur Spikes is harmless, but they can still fall and hurt you – it’s just a pretty rare occurrence.
Geysers
- Watch your step or you’ll go flying! Geysers form when a Magma block is generated or placed underneath a potent Sulfur block that’s submerged underneath 1 to 4 blocks of water. Use them for a vertical boost or a dramatic landscaping element!
Special block: TNT
- Why would anyone feed a TNT block to a Sulfur Cube? To see what happens, of course! Try it out for yourself, ignite it, and enjoy (or deeply regret) the explosive results.
Special block: Magma
- Play hot potato by having a Sulfur Cube absorb a Magma block.
Music
- Added new music by composer fingerspit (Paula Ruiz) to the game
- Added a new music disc with the song “Bounce” that may be found inside Minecarts with Chests in abandoned mineshaft structures within Sulfur Caves
- Added new music tracks Ebb, Home, Memories, Nightly, and Shores to the main Menu music, Creative Mode music, and several biomes

- Dripstone Caves
- Flower Forest
- Forest
- Frozen Peaks
- Grove
