26.2, the release of Chaos Cubed, is a game drop for Java Edition released on June 16, 2026.^[1] It focuses on the sulfur caves, a cave biome that is home to sulfur cubes, as well as the new sulfur and cinnabar blocks and their respective variants. This update also adds an experimental Vulkan renderer, and the friends list.

Potent sulfur

• Generates naturally in water pools inside the sulfur caves biome.
• Produces bubbles which rise up to 4 water source blocks above it.
• When placed underneath up to 4 water source blocks, it generates a cloud of nausea-causing gas on the water surface.
  • This cloud spreads across adjacent water with a maximum radius of 3 blocks.
  • Noxious gas from potent sulfur can rise through non-collidable waterlogged blocks and spread through other non-collidable blocks.
• When placed above a magma block and under 1–4 water source blocks, it creates a geyser.
  • The geyser will erupt at 50 second intervals, shooting a plume of water particles upwards and applying an upward impulse to entities above it for 4–5 seconds.
  • Entities directly above the potent sulfur block during an eruption will be launched into the air, but will not take damage from the eruption.
  • The height of the plume and how high anything gets launched depends on the number of water blocks above the potent sulfur blocks, with the total height being about 7 blocks above the potent sulfur block for each water block.
  • Geyser eruptions emit game events at the beginning and at the end of the eruption that can be detected by sculk sensors.
• Potent sulfur can also erupt when a source lava block is placed underneath.
  • With lava underneath, the geysers eruption is continuous, but with slightly muted sounds compared to the eruption from a magma block.
• Erupting potent sulfur can emit its plume and boost entities through non-collidable blocks.
  • This includes scaffolding, which can be used as an alternative to copper grates to stand above erupting potent sulfur without being affected by noxious gas.
• Eruption and cooldown times of geysers are randomized based on the position of the block and do not change if the block is replaced.
• Can be crafted from 9 sulfur blocks.

Sulfur spike

• Generates naturally on sulfur blocks inside the 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 crouching.
• Stalagmites will break if not attached to a support block.
• Stalactites fall down if not attached to something above.
• Being hit by a falling stalactite deals damage.
• Thrown tridents break sulfur spikes.
• 4 sulfur spikes can be crafted into a sulfur block.

  health points.
• They move by jumping around, matching the movement of slimes and magma cubes.
• When a player interacts with it while holding a block, the sulfur cube will absorb the block and disable its AI.
• With a block inside, a player can also interact with the sulfur cube while holding shears to shear the block. This re-enables its AI.
• The sulfur cube will follow a player holding a block it can absorb.
• The sulfur cube can also look for block items nearby and move towards them to absorb them.
• When killed, the sulfur cube splits into two smaller sulfur cubes.
  • They have no loot drops when killed.
• The small sulfur cube can be tempted and fed with slimeballs to grow them into large sulfur cubes.
• With a block inside, the sulfur cube will not take any fall, player or explosion damage, and will become a physical object that players can interact with by punching and pushing.
  • However, it can still take damage from lava.
• A large sulfur cube can be picked up using an empty bucket.
• Dispensers can now equip and swap blocks inside a sulfur cube, as well as shear it with shears to remove the block it is holding.
• Dispensers can spawn a sulfur cube from a bucket of sulfur cube, but not pick them back up.
• With a block inside, it will assume one of the archetypes (listed below) and change its physical properties to match the block it absorbs:
  • Each archetype is characterized by the speed of the ball when hit, how bouncy it is when colliding with blocks and collidable entities, as well as its ground friction, air drag and if it floats in liquids.
  • Each archetype has unique hit and push sounds.
  • There are the following archetypes:
    • Regular: medium speed, medium bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
      • It is buoyant.
      • Used when absorbing dirt and mud blocks.
    • Bouncy: fast speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
      • It is buoyant.
      • Used when absorbing wooden blocks.
    • Slow Bouncy: slow speed, high bounciness, medium friction and medium air drag.
      • Used when absorbing stone and mineral blocks.
    • Fast Flat: fast speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
      • Used when absorbing organic blocks.
    • Slow Flat: slow speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and medium air drag.
      • Used when absorbing metal blocks.
    • Light: slow speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and high air drag.
      • It is buoyant.
      • Used when absorbing all wool blocks.
    • Fast Sliding: fast speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag.
      • Used when absorbing icy blocks.
    • Slow Sliding: slow speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag.
      • Used when absorbing shroom blocks.
  • There are also four special archetypes:
    • High Resistance: very slow, low drag with low bounce with high friction.
      • Used when absorbing soul sand and soul soil.
    • Sticky: same properties as a golf ball, but sticks with extremely high ground friction and no bounce to simulate stickiness.
      • Used when absorbing honeycomb block.
    • Explosive: similar properties to "Regular" except for a slightly higher air drag.
      • Used when absorbing a TNT block.
      • Absorbed TNT can be primed by redstone, fire sources (including a dispenser with a flint and steel) or nearby explosions.
      • When primed by fire or redstone, absorbed TNT uses a fuse time of 6 seconds.
      • When primed by an explosion, absorbed TNT uses a randomized fuse time between 0.75 and 3 seconds.
      • Sulfur cubes with an absorbed, primed TNT block cannot be picked up with a bucket, damaged, or sheared.
      • On explosion, no small sulfur cubes are spawned, and the sulfur cube disappears.
    • Hot: same properties as Regular, but damages entities on contact like magma blocks do.
      • Used when absorbing magma blocks.
• They have a fuse tag in their entity data.
  • For sulfur cubes that do not have the Explosive archetype, or unlit ones with it, this field is set to -1.

• The fps F3 screen entry will now report which type of present mode is used (e.g. mailbox or fifo relaxed), as opposed to just vsync.
• The particle_render_stats entry now includes the counts of different particle groups (SQ for single quads, NR for no render, EG for elder guardians, and IP for item pickup) in addition to the total.

Density functions

• Added minecraft:interval_select
  • Selects between a number of density functions based on an input density function and a set of threshold values.
  • Format: object with fields:
    • input - Density Function, the value to be compared with any given thresholds.
    • thresholds - non-empty list of floats, the threshold values to compare input with.
      • If input < thresholds[i], the result of functions[i] will be selected.
      • If the input is greater than the last threshold value, the last function will be selected.
      • Must be one fewer thresholds than functions.
    • functions - list of at least 2 density functions, the resulting functions to be selected from.
      • Must be one more element in functions than in thresholds.

• Removed minecraft:weird_scaled_sampler
  • This density function has been removed, with its functionality replaced by interval_select
  • When rarity_value_mapper was type_1, equivalent to:
    • interval_select with thresholds -0.75, -0.5, 0.5, 0.75
    • Selected functions follow: abs(rarity * noise(x/rarity, y/rarity, z/rarity))
      • Corresponding rarity values: 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
  • When rarity_value_mapper was type_2, equivalent to:
    • interval_select with thresholds -0.5, 0.0, 0.5
    • Selected functions follow: abs(rarity * noise(x/rarity, y/rarity, z/rarity))
      • Corresponding rarity values: 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0

Dimension types

• The field infiniburn now also accepts an ID and a list of IDs in addition to a tag.

Game rules

• Respawning as a spectator in a Hardcore world no longer turns off the spectators_generate_chunks game rule.

Identifiers

• Removed the HurtByTimestamp tag from Living Entities, ticks_since_last_hurt_by_mob should be used instead.

Minecraft Server Management Protocol

• The version is now 3.0.0.
  • The management server now starts before the Minecraft server starts.
    • Most notably, this means the heartbeat will be sent while the world is loading and potentially upgrading.
  • The rpc.discover and notification/server/status methods are now accessible before the dedicated server spins up.
    • The server will return an error when other methods are called during this time.

Options

• Added a setting to control the availability of the Friends List and its features in Online Options.
• Added an "In-game Notification" toggle in Online Options to control whether Friends List toasts appear while in a world.

  • "Limited": activity sharing limited to "Online" & "Offline".
  • "None": no activity shared. Appearing as "Offline" to friends.

Panorama

Performance

• Upgrading certain worlds from before 26.1 can now be faster.

Predicates

• The entity predicate format has changed from a structure with multiple optional fields to one similar to data component maps.
  • For example, previously effects was an optional field:

{
"effects":{...}
}

• In this version it has become a component-like sub-predicate entry:

{
"minecraft:effects":{...}
}

• The main functional changes are:
  • All keys in entity predicates are now identifiers.
    • Since identifiers can be written without namespace (default to minecraft namespace), existing field names are still valid.
    • Exception: field type has been renamed to minecraft:entity_type.
  • Unrecognized sub-predicate components are now rejected (previously unknown fields were ignored).
• Existing type-specific sub-predicates have been renamed and moved to top-level.
  • minecraft:lightning to minecraft:type_specific/lightning
  • minecraft:fishing_hook to minecraft:type_specific/fishing_hook
  • minecraft:player to minecraft:type_specific/player
  • minecraft:raider to minecraft:type_specific/raider
  • minecraft:sheep to minecraft:type_specific/sheep
  • minecraft:slime to minecraft:type_specific/cube_mob and it now includes sulfur cubes in addition to slimes and magma cubes.

For example:

{
"type_specific":{
"type":"minecraft:player",
"looking_at":{
"type":"minecraft:ender_dragon"
}
}
}

becomes

{
"minecraft:type_specific/player":{
"looking_at":{
"minecraft:entity_type":"minecraft:ender_dragon"
}
}
}

Resource pack

• The version is now 88.0.

Server properties

• Added chat-spam-threshold-seconds and command-spam-threshold-seconds properties, separating the spam thresholds for chat vs commands.
  • Both thresholds are set to 10 by default, which was the existing threshold for combined command+chat spam.
  • These thresholds configure the mechanism that automatically kicks players for sending too many chat messages or commands.
  • The value describes how many seconds worth of spamming a player must do to get kicked, where each message a player sends increases the counter by 1 second.
  • The counter is decremented once per tick (equivalent to 1/20th of a second), and a player is kicked if their counter reaches the configured threshold.
  • Either threshold can be set to 0 to disable kicks for the associated type of spam.
  • Examples of message rates that would cause a kick, given the default threshold of 10:
    • Sending 11 messages in 1 second.
    • Sending 14 messages in 2 seconds.
    • Sending 21 messages in 10 seconds.

Shaders

• The core/rendertype_text, core/rendertype_text_see_through, core/rendertype_text_intensity, core/rendertype_text_intensity_see_through, core/rendertype_text_background, and core/rendertype_text_background_see_through shaders have been replaced by core/text and core/text_background
