Mojang continues refining the Chaos Cubed drop by correcting the new mob's scale, updating its textures, expanding peaceful mode options, and adding Swiss French and Chuvash support just days after the previous preview.
While the viral chaos of the April Fools snapshot has faded, regular development on Minecraft’s next major features is already showing steady progress. The new 26.2 Snapshot 4 delivers targeted fixes to the Sulfur Cube and tweaks the sulfur cave biome that will define the upcoming Chaos Cubed game drop.
What Changed in Snapshot 4
- Added full support for Swiss French and Chuvash languages
- Naturally spawned small Sulfur Cubes now appear at the correct size
- Updated outer texture on the Sulfur Cube
- Peaceful mode players can now spawn Hoglins, Piglins, and Sulfur Cubes
- Minor adjustments to the sulfur cave biome generation
These changes respond directly to early player feedback on the new mob, which absorbs properties from blocks it encounters and brings unpredictable chaos to cave exploration. Giving peaceful players easier access to these mobs and the Hoglins and Piglins lowers the barrier for those who want to experiment with the new features without combat pressure.
Chaos Cubed introduces the sulfur caves, new cinnabar and sulfur block sets, and the multifunctional Sulfur Cube mob that can take on traits of whatever it consumes. With no firm release date announced, the regular snapshot cadence suggests Mojang is iterating quickly ahead of a wider rollout in both Java and Bedrock Editions.
With this release we have added in language support for two new languages and made some changes to the sulfur cube and the sulfur cave biome. Also in this release, our peaceful players can now spawn Hoglins, Piglins and Sulfur cubes. Happy Mining.
The snapshot arrives at a moment when creators are already digging into the new mechanics on YouTube, with several channels breaking down how the updated Sulfur Cube behaves and what the language additions mean for international players. Early reactions suggest the fixes make the upcoming cave content feel more intentional and less janky.
You can grab the snapshot through the Minecraft Launcher by enabling snapshots in the installations tab. Those running servers or testing heavily should back up worlds before loading them into 26w18a or whatever pre release number follows.
