Minecraft Java 26.2 — Sulfur Caves

Minecraft Java · June 16, 2026

Java 26.2 adds the Sulfur Cube mob and Sulfur Caves biome, a friends list on the title screen and experimental Vulkan rendering.

The Sulfur Cube mob changes how it bounces and moves depending on the blocks you feed it, and splits into smaller cubes when killed.

The Sulfur Caves biome brings sulfur and cinnabar, plus new block sets and a new music disc.

A friends list is available from the title screen and pause menu, with online status and friend requests.

A new Graphics API setting lets you try experimental Vulkan rendering, with OpenGL as fallback.
