Each attendee is allowed only one cape, but there is no limit on the total number of capes distributed. To collect Emerald Stickers, attendees must engage in sessions labeled with “Minecraft Emerald” or participate in activities at the Minecraft Arena. Stickers can be placed in the Inventory Ribbon, which has three slots and can be collected at the Swag Bag kiosk.

Minecraft Dungeons 2 expected release date, platforms, features and more

Mojang announced Minecraft Dungeons 2 during Minecraft Live 2026, confirming its release in Fall 2026. The game will be available on Windows PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, with Game Pass support. A trailer hinted at new challenges involving Sculk blocks and the Deep Dark biome, and a QR code in the trailer led to a secret video with the term "spicewood." The original Minecraft Dungeons, released in 2020, faced criticism for repetitiveness and lack of endgame content, prompting Mojang to halt its development.

Minecraft’s powerful new mob just arrived in Java, and I can’t wait to see what players build

The Minecraft Chaos Cubed update has been released for the Java edition, introducing the Sulfur Cube mob and the Sulfur Caves biome. Players can find Sulfur Springs in the Overworld, leading to vibrant underground landscapes with Cinnabar and Sulfur blocks. A unique block called Potent Sulfur generates gas bubbles that can induce nausea. Crafting Potent Sulfur requires nine regular Sulfur blocks. The Sulfur Cube can absorb nearby dropped blocks and transform into a 'ball-like' entity, with nine distinct behavior archetypes affecting movement dynamics. Mojang has also adjusted the behavior of Beds and Slime Blocks upon collision, allowing Slime Blocks to bounce mobs indefinitely. The update transitions from OpenGL rendering to Vulkan for improved performance, while OpenGL remains available for older hardware. The Minecraft 1.26.2 snapshot is live, with a full release expected around June.

Everything we know about Sulfur Cube in Minecraft

The upcoming release of Chaos Cubed for Minecraft introduces a new underground biome and a creature called the Sulfur Cube. The Sulfur Cube is a passive, bucketable mob found in the Sulfur Caves biome, immune to fall damage, and can split into smaller cubes upon impact. These smaller cubes can grow larger over time when nurtured with golden dandelions. The Sulfur Cube can absorb various blocks, including all wood variants, stone, coral, slime, honey, sculk, froglight, resin, ore, metallic blocks, ice, concrete, sulfur, and cinnabar, but cannot consume walls, stairs, slabs, or fences. Once it absorbs a block, it becomes impervious to damage from player attacks and most mobs, instead being launched away from the attack. Players can retrieve the absorbed block using shears. The Sulfur Cube is expected to debut in the second quarter of 2026, following its appearance in the recent Minecraft Bedrock beta.

While a specific release date for the update has not been announced, it is expected to launch around the summer months, possibly mid-June. Details about the Sulfur Cube's interactions, such as whether it drops items upon defeat or can be tamed or bred, remain unclear.

Minecraft’s switch to smaller game drops doesn’t rule out “more transformative updates”

The Tiny Takeover update is the ninth 'game drop' from Mojang since the company adopted a strategy of smaller, more frequent updates in 2024. This approach allows for a sustainable development model, enabling different teams to focus on various projects simultaneously. The update emphasizes art and sound design for baby mobs, while previous updates targeted different gameplay aspects. Mojang plans to continue releasing updates that cater to diverse play styles, ensuring there are appealing options for all players. The company is also working on larger transformative updates, such as the Vibrant Visuals graphics refresh for Minecraft Java.
