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.

- "minecraft:bounciness"
- "minecraft:air_drag_modifier"
- If set to false, other entites won't retaliate against the attacking entity
- These changes are in beta format version, the intent is to add these changes to format version 1.26.30, when going out of beta
- Each preset entry supports the following fields:
"filter", conditions that must be met for the preset to be applied
- "push_mode", the type of push calculation: "default", "legacy_boat", or "legacy_minecart"
- "strength_multiplier", scales the push force applied to the entity
- "min_distance", minimum distance between entities for push forces to be applied
- "push_scale_self", scales how much push force this entity applies to itself away on collision
- "push_scale_other", scales how much push force this entity applies to the other entity on collision
- "play_sound_cooldown_in_seconds", cooldown in seconds between sounds, a lower number results in more sounds
- "play_sound_impulse_threshold", minimum change of velocity needed to trigger the push sound, a lower value means higher sensitivity
- When set to true (the default), the entity is unleashed from the entity it is leashed to once the component is removed
- Entities with format versions prior to 1.26.30 will have this field defaulted to false to preserve existing behavior
- When set to true (the default), entities leashed to the entity are unleashed once the component is removed
- Entities with format versions prior to 1.26.30 will have this field defaulted to false to preserve existing behavior
- reapply_default preserves the current behaviour where knockback is reapplied with the new power and a default preset
- multiply instead combines it into the original knockback calculation by multiplying the power value in the preset provided by minecraft:apply_knockback_rules
- The min_distance field now controls the minimum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode valuesDistance is measured as the horizontal distance between the centers of the two entities
- Distance is measured as the horizontal distance between the center of the pushed entity and the edge of the pushing entity's collision box
Entity Event Responses

If its unleash_self field is set to true, it unleashes the entity from the entity it is leashed to
- If its unleash_others field is set to true, it unleashes all entities that are leashed to the entity
Entity Filters
- Added the redstone_strength_at_position entity filter that tests the redstone signal strength at the subject entity's position
- The redstone_strength_at_position entity filter now correctly evaluates to 0 when no signal is present
- The redstone_strength_at_position entity filter now correctly evaluates to the redstone strength when a Redstone Wire is pointing at the evaluated position
Features
- Adding a new feature type height_difference_filter_feature
This feature is meant to be used as a filter to filter away positions based on height differences close to the placed feature
- Example usage to allow Pink Petals to only place close to cliffs:
- min_required_upward_height_diff Specifies the minimum height difference required upwards
- min_required_downward_height_diff Specifies the minimum height difference required downwards
- max_allowed_upward_height_diff Specifies the maximum height difference allowed upwards
- max_allowed_downward_height_diff Specifies the maximum height difference allowed downwards
- search_radius specifies the length in each cardinal direction the filter will check for blocks against the given differences
- places_feature specifies what feature should be placed when filter succeeds
- When true, only motion-blocking blocks within the structure are checked for intersections against the block_allowlist
- When false, all blocks in the structure except empty ones are checked for intersections, including air
- Defaults to true, preserving existing behavior
- Motion-blocking blocks are full blocks that block motion
- Specifies which Y coordinate of the structure is considered its ground level
- Used as a vertical offset during placement and determines which layer of the structure is checked by the leveled and grounded constraints
- All non-air blocks at this level define positions where the leveled and grounded constraints are checked
- If the value exceeds the structure's height, it is clamped to the maximum valid value and a content warning is emitted
- Defaults to 0
- When specified, ensures the structure's ground level is placed on mostly flat terrain
- Includes a max_steepness field that defines the maximum allowed height difference between the placement position and terrain samples taken at the structure's ground level
A valid terrain sample consists of a solid block with a non-solid block above it
- Defaults to 2

Items
- A new field "start_using" was added to the "minecraft:use_modifiers" item component. It can either be set to "always" or "if_first". It is defaulted to "always" with format version lower than 1.26.30 and "if_first" otherwise. When set to "if_first", "minecraft:use_modifiers" will only attempt to start using the item if no other component has already attempted to.
- Items with both a "minecraft:use_modifiers" and a "minecraft:shooter" component with a charge duration will now properly charge and shoot with "start_using" set to "if_first". (MCPE-228331) (MCPE-228332) (MCPE-228333)
- The "minecraft:wearable" component no longer overrides the "minecraft:max_stack_size" component when both are present on a custom item (MCPE-176931)
- Items with both a "minecraft:use_modifiers" and a "minecraft:shooter" component with no available ammo will no longer draw with "start_using" set to "if_first" on the "minecraft:use_modifiers" component (MCPE-228331)
Loot Tables
- Fixed loot table container filling so when no empty slots remain, generated loot now merges into matching non-full stacks instead of failing to place (MCPE-233039)

Surface Builders
- The NoiseDescriptor schema definition has been introduced. The purpose of this schema is to be used as part of a surface- or subsurface-builder's schema. It has the following fields:
name: The string used to initialize the noise. Has no impact on the qualitative aspects of the generated values (required)
- first_octave: Governs the general frequency characteristics of the generated noise. Lower value results in noise with lower frequency content (required)
- amplitudes: Governs the attenuation of the first n octaves in the generated noise (required)
- noise: The noise identifier associated with a particular NoiseBlockSpecifier (non-required)
- threshold: The minimum sampled noise value associated with the provided Block (non-required)
- range: The range of sampled noise value associated with the provided Block (non-required)
- block: The block to place if the noise sample satisfies either the threshold or range condition (required)
- noise: a NoiseDescriptor (required)
- non_replaceable_blocks: A list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace. Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any (non-air) block type (non-required)
- noise_block_specifiers: An array of NoiseBlockSpecifiers defining which sample ranges of noise are associated with which blocks. The ranges provided are valid on the interval [0, 1], and may overlap at their endpoints (required)
User Interface
- Fixed marketplace offers sometimes showing coin icons in places they shouldn't
- Fixed a bug where the coin icon may not appear on certain Marketplace offers
Voxel Shapes
- Internally used Voxel Shapes have been released to the bedrock-samples Github repo (https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/) for creator reference when making their own shapes.
- Matching shapes will be merged at runtime for better performance.ex. minecraft:composter & custom:composter (where custom:composter is a copy of the exported minecraft:composter shape) will be de-duplicated down on world load to save memory.
World Generation
- Fixed infinite loading issue for biomes with subsurface builder (MCPE-238131)
- Bedrock floor and ceiling will be placed regardless of "minecraft:surface_builder" and "minecraft:subsurface_builder" presence in the biome.json file
Experimental Technical Updates
Add-Ons
- Custom projectiles spawned via the "minecraft:spawn_entity" component now apply the offset field of "minecraft:projectile" when the experimental toggle "Custom Projectiles" is enabled
API
- Adds WebSocketClientCloseReasons enum to @minecraft/server-net in beta.
- WebSocketClientCloseAfterEvent
Adds property reason: WebSocketClientCloseReasons in beta
- This event is now sent when WebSocketClient.close() is called
- This setting, if set, will prevent a websocket from being spammed by the server and close the socket if all data payloads size received during a tick exceeds this value.
- Property errorCode is now a HttpStatusCode in beta
- When connection websockets, you can now provide headers for the connection packet: WebSocket.connect(uri: string, headers?: HttpHeader[]) : Promise<WebSocketClient>
- Removed locatorBar: boolean property from beta.
- Added playerWaypoints: PlayerWaypointsMode property to beta. This replaces the removed locatorBar rule.
- DebugCone, DebugCylinder, DebugPyramid, DebugEllipsoid
- It is only present on blocks defined with a 'minecraft:block_entity component with dynamic_properties` set to true
- It stores properties of the same DynamicProperties type that can be found on entities or item stacks
- It comes with a get, set and totalByteCount API
- It may only store up to 1KBytes of data per block entity
- It (currently) does not carry over its data to the item resulting from mining or picking the block entity
- Added class ScriptInvalidObservableError that is thrown when an observable value is expected to be writable, but it is not.
- Changed class CustomForm
Changed function dropdownChanged return type from CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError) to CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError, InvalidObservableError)
- Changed return type from CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError) to CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError, InvalidObservableError)
- Changed return type from CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError) to CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError, InvalidObservableError)
- Changed return type from CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError) to CustomForm (throws InvalidFormModificationError, InvalidObservableError)
Blocks
- Added snow logging behavior for multi-blocks
- Added the 'minecraft:block_entity` block component
It has a single boolean field dynamic_properties
- It requires format version 1.26.20 and Experimental Upcoming Creator Features
- It cannot be used in permutations
- While leaner than their Vanilla counterparts, they still are heavier on the RAM than non-block-entities; use them sparingly
- it can be used to assign an instrument to "up" and "down" faces of a block and it's permutations
all current instruments can be used to define a sound
- newly added "note.none" can be used to specify no sound for a face
- if a face is not defined it will use its default value; "up": "note.harp" and "down": "note.none"
- at least one face must be defined for the component to be valid Example:
- Added non-unit-Cube voxel shapes for 8 Vanilla blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces between adjacent blocks are correctly removed
Anvil shape (3 blocks): Anvil, Chipped Anvil, Damaged Anvil
- Cactus shape (1 block)
- End Portal Frame eye shape (1 block): added shape for the eye-filled state
- Grindstone shape (1 block)
- Heavy Core shape (1 block)
- Lectern shape (1 block)
- Shelf shapes (12 blocks): Acacia Shelf, Bamboo Shelf, Birch Shelf, Cherry Shelf, Crimson Shelf, Dark Oak Shelf, Jungle Shelf, Mangrove Shelf, Oak Shelf, Pale Oak Shelf, Spruce Shelf, Warped Shelf
- Bell attachment shapes (1 block): floor, ceiling, single wall, and double wall variants
- Big Dripleaf shape (3 blocks): Big Dripleaf, Big Dripleaf Tilt Partial, and Big Dripleaf Tilt Full
- Fence shape (13 blocks): Fence for each wood type (13)
- Fence Gate shape (26 blocks): Fence Gate and Fence Gate In Wall for each wood type (13)
- Wall-mounted skull shapes (6 blocks): Creeper Head, Dragon Head, Player Head, Skeleton Skull, Wither Skeleton Skull, Zombie Head
- Wall-mounted Piglin shape (1 block): Piglin Head
Custom Dimensions
- Fixed Custom Dimension height range to match Overworld defaults
Entities
- Added support for using entity actions in entity_version upgraders
Entity Components
- The following beta fields of minecraft:apply_knockback_rules now use the direction of the tap location when using a touch input device
horizontal_hit_angle_scale
- vertical_hit_angle_scale
- vertical_position_angle_scale
Events
- Added EntityStartSneakingAfterEvent and EntityStartSneakingAfterEventSignal to beta.
General
- Added "owner_launch_immunity_ticks" field to the projectile component
- Fixed player spawn position when rejoining a world after their previously saved custom dimension becomes inactive
Graphical
- Point lights are now disabled on unsupported hardware (Android, PS4, Xbox One) when the RenderDragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Vibrant Visuals.
- Fixed an issue where square artifacts would appear when looking at point lights
Items
- Item components minecraft:swing_sounds, minecraft:durability_sensor, minecraft:record, and minecraft:use_modifiers now accept string-based sound event names in addition to enum values when using the Beta APIs experimental toggle
- String-based sound names reference entries in sound_definitions.json, allowing content creators to use custom sounds in data-driven items without needing new enum values
Packs
- Added new pack folder to dedicated server for system packs (packs which are loaded automatically to the world and disallow other packs using their IDs)system_behavior_packs and system_resource_packs
User Interface
- Fixed formatting codes when using multiline texts in Ore UI system.
- Add support for responding to Xbox friend requests from the Social Drawer
