Minecraft Live 2026
Minecraft Live 2026 has now taken place at TwitchCon in Rotterdam, bringing the first major details about Chaos Cubed, the next Minecraft drop, and several upcoming features for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Minecraft Live 2026 Announcements from Rotterdam
Minecraft Live 2026 returned with a bonus broadcast on May 30, streamed from TwitchCon in Rotterdam. The show focused on the future of Minecraft Bedrock and confirmed one of the biggest details players were waiting for: the Chaos Cubed update will be released on June 16, 2026.
Chaos Cubed Release Date Confirmed
The main announcement of the broadcast was the release date for Chaos Cubed. Mojang confirmed that the update is scheduled to arrive on June 16, 2026. This drop continues the experimental direction shown in recent Beta and Preview builds, with new mechanics, unusual mob behavior, and physics-based gameplay ideas.
Sulfur Cube Development Details
During the show, Mojang shared new information about the Sulfur Cube. The developers explained that its behavior was inspired by hockey, curling, and volleyball. Through many tests, they added different physics-based reactions to make the mob feel unpredictable and more dynamic.
Interestingly, the earliest experiments were made with the Copper Golem. Only later did the team move toward the idea of a cube made from sulfur, turning it into one of the key features connected to Chaos Cubed.
Dappled Forest and New Blocks
Mojang also revealed a new forest biome called The Dappled Forest. This area will include spotted autumn-colored trees, new mushroom varieties, and a new structure called the Abandoned Camp.
Coming to testing this summer:
- Dappled Forest biome
- Poplar trees in three different colors
- Poplar wood set
- Red shrub bushes
- Abandoned camp structure
- Wool stairs and slabs
Wool Stairs and Slabs
Another confirmed feature is the addition of wool stairs and slabs. This gives builders more decorative options and should be especially useful for colorful roofs, soft interiors, fantasy builds, and custom furniture designs in Minecraft Bedrock.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 and LEGO Chicken Mounts
The broadcast also included news beyond the main Minecraft update. Minecraft Dungeons 2 will introduce a dangerous new enemy called the Twisted Warden, while a new Marketplace pack made in collaboration with LEGO was announced under the name Chicken Mounts.
After the event, these announcements give players a clearer look at the next stage of Minecraft in 2026, from the Chaos Cubed release on June 16 to new biome content planned for testing during the summer.
Minecraft Movie Squared
Mojang also revealed the title of the Minecraft movie sequel: Minecraft Movie Squared. The name plays on the idea of “Minecraft squared” and continues the branding of the first film.
Several familiar actors from the first movie are expected to return, while new cast members will also appear. The sequel will feature comedian Matt Berry, Kirsten Dunst, and nightmare-style Creepers.
