Minecraft dev Mojang just added two huge multiplayer features to Java Edition with new Snapshot build

Mojang Studios has introduced new multiplayer features in the Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 7 for Java Edition, including a Friends List and peer-to-peer connection options. The Friends List allows players to send and receive friend requests using Profile Names and includes tabs for managing friend statuses. Players can invite friends to join their single-player worlds, enhancing social interaction. Previously, private multiplayer sessions required LAN setups or third-party servers. The update may also support mods for peer-to-peer multiplayer if all players have the same mods installed. Additionally, the upcoming Chaos Cubed update will introduce a new sulfur cave biome, scheduled for release in Q2 2026.

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 5 Adds Sulfur Cube Explosive Archetype, Geysers and More

In Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 5, Mojang introduced explosive Sulfur Cubes that can absorb TNT blocks, transforming into volatile entities. When ignited by fire or Redstone, they have a 6-second fuse, while explosions can trigger a random fuse time of 0.75 to 3 seconds. Once primed, they are immune to damage, and the TNT block cannot be harvested with shears. Additionally, Potent Sulfur blocks can interact with water and magma to produce geysers that launch water particles and nearby entities into the air. Hoglins have been reclassified as hostile and will no longer spawn in Peaceful mode. New sound effects accompany the geysers and Sulfur Spikes. To create an Explosive Sulfur Cube, a Sulfur Cube must absorb a TNT block, and geysers are produced when a Potent Sulfur block is placed above a Magma block or submerged under 1-4 water source blocks within a Sulfur Pool.

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 5

The 26.2 Snapshot 5 introduces several new features, including an explosive archetype for the Sulfur Cube and the addition of erupting Geysers formed by Potent Sulfur. The new Sulfur Cube archetype, called Explosive, shares properties with the Regular archetype but has higher air drag and can absorb TNT blocks. When primed, absorbed TNT has a fuse time of 6 seconds when ignited by fire or Redstone, and a randomized fuse time between 0.75 and 3 seconds when primed by an explosion. Sulfur Cubes with absorbed TNT cannot be picked up or damaged, and no Small Sulfur Cubes will spawn upon explosion. Potent Sulfur creates Geysers when placed above a Magma block and under water, sending water particles skyward at random intervals. Various adjustments have been made to mob hitboxes, and Hoglins are now classified as hostile and will not spawn on Peaceful difficulty. New sounds for Geyser eruptions have been added, and Touchscreen Mode has been removed. The Data Pack version is now 104.0, and the Resource Pack version is 86.2. New particles related to Geysers have been introduced, and several bugs have been fixed in this update.

Dial up the chaos in testing

Geysers are a new feature in Minecraft that create vertical jets of sulfurous water when a magma block generates beneath a sulfur block submerged under one to four blocks of water. Players can experience these geysers by enabling snapshots in Minecraft: Java Edition or activating experimental features in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Feedback from players is encouraged to help shape the development of these features.

Minecraft Players Have Come Up With The Perfect Idea For A Deepslate Generator, Mojang Just Needs To Take Notes

Five years ago, deepslate was introduced in Minecraft's Caves & Cliffs update, serving as a robust block that transforms into cobbled deepslate when mined and can be used in crafting but cannot be generated through traditional means like cobblestone. A fan named u/SuperLeadership808 proposed a solution inspired by the upcoming Chaos Cube game drop, which will introduce a new sulfur cave biome featuring sulfur springs and the Sulfur Cube mob. The community is eager to see how these new elements might address the scarcity of renewable deepslate.

How to make gunpowder in Windrose

To create gunpowder in Windrose, you need 10 units of sulfur and 20 units of ash, which must be combined at a Millstone. You cannot craft gunpowder until you complete the main quest "Revenge is Best Served Cold." Sulfur can only be mined with an Iron Pickaxe, which requires significant game progression. Before crafting gunpowder, you must complete the quests "Rescuing the Crew" and "I Need a Bigger Boat," defeat Thomas Richards, travel to the Foothills to mine Foothills Iron Ore for ingots, discover corn in the Foothills to unlock the Millstone recipe, and craft an Iron Pickaxe. Sulfur can be found in the Coastal Jungle and Foothills biomes, while ash can be obtained from burning wood at the Charcoal Kiln or grinding charcoal at the Millstone.
