Minecraft Sulfur Cubes: How to Get Them and How They Work
In brief
Sulfur Cubes are rare passive mobs found only in Minecraft's Sulfur Caves. Although non-hostile, some types can accidentally deal damage, and their ability to absorb blocks makes them useful allies for gathering resources in an innovative way.
In Minecraft, Sulfur Cubes stand out in particular for their rarity and their own abilities. This article will help you better understand these mobs.
Where to find Sulfur Cubes in Minecraft
Sulfur Cubes are found only in the Sulfur Caves biome, which is often dark and hard to access, making the search for Sulfur Cubes all the more complicated. Sulfur Cubes often move in small groups of two to four, but they rarely appear, with barely a one-in-three chance of spawning when the light level is zero.
Tips
Explore the darkest corners of caves.
Pay attention to the particular sounds they make: jumping noises.
How Sulfur Cubes work
Although they are considered passive mobs (meaning they are not hostile), their behavior with available blocks can lead to interesting effects. So, when a player feeds a Sulfur Cube by giving it a block, it transforms into another archetype of Sulfur Cube for a variety of effects. Two types of Sulfur Cubes can deal damage: the Explosive Cube and the Hot Cube. Although they are not hostile by nature, they can still accidentally deal damage.
Sulfur Cubes can absorb normal-sized blocks, which allows players to gather resources in an innovative way.
How to retrieve blocks from Sulfur Cubes
Several methods exist for removing a block absorbed by a Sulfur Cube:
- Shears: this tool is the most effective way to remove a block without harming the Sulfur Cube.
- Eliminating the Cube: even though this is indeed a possibility, it's best not to kill a Sulfur Cube because of its rarity.
