Minecraft 3.39 Patch Notes – June 16, 2026
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.
Music
- Added new music by composer fingerspit (Paula Ruiz) to the game
- Added a new music disc with the song “Bounce” that may be found inside Minecarts with Chests in abandoned mineshaft structures within Sulfur Caves
- Added new music tracks Ebb, Home, Memories, Nightly, and Shores to the main Menu music, Creative Mode music, and several biomes
- The new music tracks will play in the following biomes:
- Mesa
- Bamboo Jungle
- Cherry Grove
- Desert
- Dripstone Caves
- Flower Forest
- Forest
- Frozen Peaks
- Grove
- Jagged Peaks
- Jungle

- Meadow

Data-driven UI (DDUI)
We have significantly updated the implementation of DDUI as we prepare for stabalization. Please test the latest changes in this week’s preview and let us know if you’re seeing any issue.
- Replaced Observable with ObservableString, ObservableNumber, ObservableUIRawMessage, and ObservableBoolean.
- Instead of using Observable.create you should now use the constructor, i.e. new ObservableString(“hello!”)
- Renamed DropdownItem to DropdownItemData
- Changed values of DataDrivenScreenClosedReason:
- UserClose -> ClientClosed
- ServerClose -> ServerClosed
- UserBusy is unchanged
- Fixed a bug where you could not show ModalFormData or MessageFormData directly after CustomForm or MessageBox.
- Released MessageBox, CustomForm, and all supporting APIs out of beta and into @minecraft/server-ui 2.1.0
Biome Components
- The following biome components have been taken out of beta and are available starting with the “1.26.30” format version:
- “minecraft:surface_builder”
- “minecraft:subsurface_builder”
- The minecraft:noise_gradient surface builder type has been updated. The API is the same as before, but the noise ranges provided are now clamped to the range [-1, 1] instead of [0, 1]
Blocks
- Fixed a bug where the “minecraft:material_instances” on custom blocks would override the “minecraft:material_instances” inside a “minecraft:item_visual”, causing custom blocks held by the player to be rendered incorrectly (MCPE-234766)
- Fixed permutation component constraints for multi-blocks with format_version >= 1.26.20
- Released the culling_shape field in the minecraft:geometry component from behind the VoxelShapes experiment. Non-unit-Cube culling shapes for vanilla blocks (e.g. fences, bells, slabs) still require the experiment.
- Released the snow logging behavior for Block Precipitation Interaction component out of experimental. The feature requires version 1.21.120+
- Fixed bug where custom blocks with random_offset would be put back in the center of its position when snow logged.
- Changed the precipitation behavior value from “snow_log_no_collision” to “snowlogging” to avoid confusion regarding its functionality.
- Added n_way_visual_rotation field to block geometry component, which takes the name of a block state as a string, which drives visual-only rotation of the block based on that state. Supported states are: “minecraft:cardinal_direction”, “minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation”, and all custom states.
- Added “minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation” as an enabled state for the “minecraft:placement_direction” block trait, which will automatically apply a state value from 0-15 based on player rotation at time of block placement.
- Fixed block traits not respecting experimental requirements for format_version >= 1.26.20
- Blocks with a custom beforeOnPlayerPlace scripting event placed by an item with a minecraft:block_placer component no longer desyncs upon placement (MCPE-238017)
- Added the lava_flammable field to the minecraft:flammable component
- Supported values are always and never (default)
- When set to always, the block is considered when lava attempts to spread fire after adjacent block updates, while still respecting normal fire placement rules
- When set to never, the block is excluded from that check
- The “lava_flammable” field of the “minecraft:flammable” component is now usable without the Experimental Upcoming Creator Features
Client Entities
- Added the hide_held_items Molang expression property to minecraft:client_entity’s scripts section that hides held items when it evaluates to a non-zero value
Components
- Fixed an assert that would occur when trying to use the minecraft:noise_gradient builder type inside a minecraft:surface_builder biome component if the biome definition’s schema version was set to beta.
- Added field ‘stop_if_holding_item’ to “minecraft:behavior.pickup_items”
- Defaults to false,
- If true, the mob will not pick up another item if the item’s preferred slot matches
Commands
- Fixed command auto-completion for custom block states with integer values showing incorrect zero-based indices instead of the actual defined values (MCPE-236301)
- Removed the locatorbar boolean gamerule. Worlds that previously had locatorbar set to true will automatically migrate to the new playerWaypoints Game Rule with a value of everyone, and false will migrate to off.

Entity Components
- The following entity components have been taken out of beta and are available starting with the “1.26.30” format version:
- “minecraft:apply_knockback_rules”
- “minecraft:pushable_by_entity”
- “minecraft:bounciness”
- “minecraft:air_drag_modifier”
- Added the use_self_as_damage_source property to the minecraft:area_attack component
- If set to false, other entites won’t retaliate against the attacking entity
- Added “presets” field to the “minecraft:pushable_by_entity” component, allowing customization of push behavior per entity type
- 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
- Added unleash_on_removal field to minecraft:leashable component
- 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
- Added unleash_on_removal field to minecraft:leashable_to component
- 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
- Added the field extra_knockback_approach to minecraft:apply_knockback_rules preset settings for handling extra knockback from enchantments, sprinting and swimming
- 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
- Made several changes to minecraft:pushable_by_entity presets:
- The min_distance field now controls the minimum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode values
- Distance is measured as the horizontal distance between the centers of the two entities
- Renamed the kick_distance_threshold field to max_distance, which now controls the maximum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode values
- Distance is measured as the horizontal distance between the center of the pushed entity and the edge of the pushing entity’s collision box
- Added a play_sound field to control whether the pushed_by_player sound is played
- Added a new none value to the push_mode field, which disables pushing behavior entirely
- The min_distance field now controls the minimum range at which push interactions can occur for all push_mode values
Entity Event Responses
- Added unleash entity event response
- If its unleash_self field is set to true, it unleashes the entity from the entity it is leashed to
