News Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Switch Minecraft Updates Minecraft's Chaos Cubed Update Is Now Live, Here Are The Patch Notes Minecraft launches on Switch 2 later this year by Liam Doolan Wed 17th Jun 2026 Share: Ahead of the release of Minecraft on the Switch 2 later this year, Mojang has this week released the new update Chaos Cubed . This exciting new game drop brings chaos in the form of sulfur cubes, a new cave biome to explore, new blocks and much more. The new mob is described as a "source of endless experimentation and possibility". Here's a bit about this block, which can absorb everything from TNT to magma: "That’s because the sulfur cube’s physical properties will change depending on what sort of block it has absorbed. Different blocks will change the sulfur cube’s speed, its bounciness, and its overall chaos levels, so there’s a perfect cube combo for every situation — and countless more waiting to be discovered."

"Those bubbling waters will actually leave you with a spot of the Nausea effect thanks to the potent sulfur blocks.

Oh, and while you’re exploring the sulfur caves, watch out for sulfur spikes! These form on cave ceilings and floors like stalactites and stalagmites, and they can also fall randomly from the sky, and cause damage!"
