Talk:Sulfur Cube

Did we get any info on if it drops anything? 13landsdown13 (talk) 17:55, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

In Minecraft Live, when they kiled the full-grown one it split in two but didnt drop anything, I don't think they killed the small ones so I don't think we know what it drops just yet Duckioduck (talk) 18:05, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

No, they are not dropping sulfur or anythink, and small too KreJa (talk) 06:58, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

The big one dropped two experience orbs when they killed it ~2026-CherryRavagerCreaking6597 (talk) 21:52, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

We don't know if it drops anything else yet, like dropping sulfur. PenguinLover (talk) 04:50, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Wait no it's in preview they drop nothing ._. PenguinLover (talk) 12:21, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

The large sulfur cubes drop Arsorbed blocks^{(if any)} and experience and small ones drop nothing. ~2026-RavagerTerracottaHusk10215 (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

In the Minecraft Live it was stated that it is passive. The page was fixed for showing only passive. 👁 Image

Yes, the white particles appear when the sulfur cube dies, as seen here at 5:28. BDJP ^(t|c) 23:12, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Does the golden dandelion work on it? I didn't think it would. CrockCraftMC (talk) 20:09, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

yes, it turns out 👁 Image
BrandonEpicGamer (TALK) 20:28, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

i went into the game and killed one to test what the small sulfur cube looks like and it is just the big one but smaller instead of using a different texture like is currently shown on the wiki... 👁 Image
BrandonEpicGamer (TALK) 20:29, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

It's currently only like that on Bedrock Edition, I'm guessing you were using Java. 👁 Image
NmF (talk) 20:43, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Didn't realize they aren't in Java yet, are you sure it isn't different? 👁 Image
NmF (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

yeah, maybe the correct texture is only used if virbant visuals are enabled? or maybe it was a bug 👁 Image
BrandonEpicGamer (TALK) 23:26, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

It's just unused. Jaime-Spec MC (talk) 06:20, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Does anyone plan to render all the absorbed blocks?

I think it would be interesting, even if placed on a subpage or something like that. But I know it will be a lot of work. Aloi4 (talk) 22:52, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I probably wouldn't expect it to happen, since a majority would be of little to no interest and there would be hundreds. 👁 Image
FireDragons52 22:52, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I did some quick calculations of the number of blocks.

• 61 Rubber Ball/Bouncy
• 25 Golf Ball/Fast Flat
• 4 Hockey Puck/Fast Sliding
• 2 High Resistance
• 16 Beach Ball/Light
• 29 (+16) Medicine Ball/Slow Flat
• 7 Curling Stone/Slow Sliding
• 1 Sticky
• 172 Football/Regular

Total: 317(+16)

That would be 317 renders... Quite a lot for just one page, but not much for the size of the wiki. Aloi4 (talk) 23:22, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

~175% regarding the amount of rendering for this page: Java Edition removed blocks/Data variants. Without a doubt, the culfur cube's page is much more relevant, accessed, etc.

The renderings may also appear on the block pages. Aloi4 (talk) 23:31, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

It's overkill, and would mean having to update 300+ renders in case they'll do so minor sulfur cube art adjustments. Having one example for each category is more than enough. --Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 23:39, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

We could wait a bit before rendering, waiting for the initial cube changes to be made. After that, if there are other changes, it's not so problematic to have specific renders not updated, provided there is a note about it. Perhaps you could create a project for that; if you have a decent number of people to render, it won't cost too much per person. Aloi4 (talk) 01:04, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

You could still do all the renders, on something like a subpage, such as Sulfur Cube/Renders 👁 Image
Slimeball (Talk) 13:12, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

I would like that idea. I can’t help though because I’m on an iPad and can’t render anything. (I’m User:WearyEagle77054 btw. Sometimes the “keep me logged in” button doesnt work for some reason) ~2026-GolemIllusionerWolf7962 (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Golf ball, football, etc  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  01:36, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

I don’t think they are, as the ID’s for the tags don’t use them, and tags don’t have translations. 👁 Image
Slimeball (Talk) 15:28, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

The "archetype" names like "fast flat", "fast sliding", etc. come from the names of the item tags. The object names like "golf ball", "hockey puck", etc. come from the sulfur cube's component group names. Tryashtar (talk) 21:20, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

The example weapon used to attack the slime has been changed a few times.

• Initially it was netherite axe and it only showed its Java damage (with {{only}}).
• I changed it to mace, as I thought it was better to have a weapon with a single damage output in both edition to avoid using {{only}}.
• They changed it to diamond sword, showing its damage output for both editions in the example (with {{in}}}).

I think it's always good to avoid using {{only}} or {{in}} on behavior that is the same in both editions, and the difference is only in the item used. But I understand that mace can be confusing because its damage can change in each case and it's not often used as a weapon for direct confrontation.

The only (see Melee attack § Attack damage) other weapon that has the same damage for both versions is the trident. But it can still be a little confusing.

I'm unsure what to do:

• Leave a weapon that deals the same damage, even if it's not a very common weapon.
• Leave a weapon that deals different damage and specify the damage for each edition.
• Leave a weapon that deals damage, but don't explicitly state the damage (you could put something like >5), and only state that the effective damage is only 1.

It doesn't seem very important, but avoiding a "confusing" weapon or pointing out version differences that don't affect the article's behavior seems like a good way to make the text less confusing. For example, I wanted to remove the {{only}} because I glanced at it quickly and found it strange that it only applies to Java, since Mob doesn't even exist in Java yet. Aloi4 (talk) 02:45, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

I guess ideally the phrasing should be clearer so that no example is needed, as that actually seems tutorial-like to have a weapon included. ‑‑MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 02:55, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

What if you put a command block, end portal frame, bedrock,... and others illegal block inside the sulfur cube? HaDaoo (talk) 15:24, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

we don't know what will happen. TyrannoCraft (talk) 12:36, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

I have Bedrock Edition, but just can’t play Preview 👁 Image
Slimeball (Talk) 13:25, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Bedrock gives the football effect, other blocks cannot be placed into sulfur cubes at all. 👁 Image
Sightnado ^{t | c} 13:51, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

good TyrannoCraft (talk) 12:22, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

a lot of people seem to think that slime and honey blocks were sticky in the bedrock preview, and dont undertsand that what was happening was a bug, it is kinda getting annoying and im not sure what (if anything) could be done about it 👁 Image
BrandonEpicGamer (TALK) 00:43, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

It might be helpful to have a section with damage sources listed and clarified. For this mob in particular, damage is very relevant and could be referred to often by players building minigames and such, but there are many edge cases like the warden's sonic boom or the wither effect from the wither's projectiles. mob aggro is a secondary consideration, since it seems to be arbitrary. Azithoth (talk) 04:53, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

if there's already a term being used in the community it would be great to switch to it, it's unwieldy to say "a sulfur cube with a block absorbed" or similar in every instance. Azithoth (talk) 04:59, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

(A) You're not going to say what it is? (B) It's best to not use unofficial terminology unnecessarily.  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  05:23, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

I should have formed the title as a question, I was asking if there was a term for it yet. Of course I'm not going to use one that isn't correct. Azithoth (talk) 05:51, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

call it (block absorbed) cube Game king (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

so, if it absorbed ice, it would be called an ice cube Game king (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Again, best not to use unofficial terminology.  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  21:54, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

its my best idea Game king (talk) 00:35, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

IDK if the sulfur cube is a pacific mob or not, is it unlike the green slime mob? ~2026-IronSculkJungle7643 (talk) 00:36, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Do you mean passive? Yes, it is a passive mob, but does not spawn in Peaceful mode in Bedrock Edition. ‑‑MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 01:49, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I do. Tks to the help! ~2026-IronSculkJungle7643 (talk) 00:02, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

In Java , when a Sulfur Cube has a block it isn't supposed to in it, it has the following attributes.

• Knockback resistance: 0
• Bounciness: 0
• Friction modifier: 1
• Air drag modifier: 1

I believe in Bedrock the behaviour is defined separately from the block visible so this wouldn't happen. Does this fit anywhere in the article? 👁 Image
FireDragons52 05:52, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Iron blocks have more plain colors than wool blocks, which makes this somewhat not confusable. Even then there are captions in the gallery describing the blocks applied. - RedX (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Is it a monster really??? ~2026-IronDesertBedrock9733 (talk) 14:31, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it's categorized as a monster even though it's passive. --Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 14:33, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

It uses the monsters mob cap, so yes. It spawns and despawns like a hostile mob, despite being passive. Rogerio980Pizzaa (talk / contribs) 14:44, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it is categorized as a monster, so it can despawn. It can be fixed at some point though, because it’s quite annoying. 👁 Image

This is comparable to including each of the Sheep colors in the Sheep's infobox ~2026-HorseSandCave12091 (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I'm going to revert getting rid of the absorbed block section of the infobox for now until there is consensus. But I 👁 Image
 Soft support because having only one absorbed state is a bit awkward (stone is arbitrary) and it's more clean like this. We already have a lot more information on the absorbed states bellow so it's redundant. TheCaptainYaya (talk) 01:33, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Those notes aren’t stating whether ancient debris can or cannot be put into the sulfur cube, they are instead stating which archetype the block falls into. Ancient debris is currently in different archetypes between editions, and the notes are stating that "ancient debris fits into this archetype in only this edition."👁 Image

In the drop 2 of 2026 the sulfur cube was name sulpfur cube Sandbreed378 (talk) 08:34, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

For some reason, my edit on this article was reverted. I don’t know why, is there a reason? IronSculkJungle7643 (talk) 21:58, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

It is because block names should be lowercase and periods shouldn't be at the end of image captions if it isn't a full sentence. 👁 Image
NmF (talk) 22:09, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

My sulfur cubes in creative mode Bedrock edition are sometimes bouncy. Too bouncy. Like when I put a block it sometimes bounces in place. It will bounce in place even when sliding or flying. Bug? It also won't absorb tnt. I tried on two worlds bedrock creative ~2026-BlackstoneWoolDragon15118 (talk) 02:59, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

That's because they changed how sulfur cubes work in preview versions. 👁 Image
NmF (talk) 03:21, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

It also only happened occasionally with spawn eggs. What's the command to put fit in a sulfur cube for bedrock? ~2026-BlackstoneWoolDragon15118 (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Not fit. *TNT. ~2026-BlackstoneWoolDragon15118 (talk) 17:21, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Is sulfur cube supposed to absorb tnt in bedrock? I tried but it didn't work. Are there certain conditions that need to be met in order for the sulfur cubes to absorb TNT? ~2026-BlackstoneWoolDragon15118 (talk) 18:42, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Which version are you playing on? Are you on the 26.20 release or the latest preview? The experimental features in 26.20 are outdated, which means the sulfur cube TNT feature isn't there.👁 Image
WillyBlue (talk) 22:34, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
