Minecraft has introduced another feature for the Sulfur Cube mob, bringing even more chaotic fun to the game. Exploring this explosive creature is no longer just about curiosity, as an unattended Sulfur Cube can now turn into a walking bomb in seconds. This new behavior opens up plenty of creative possibilities, from deadly traps and custom mini-games to unique redstone contraptions. In this guide, learn how to get an explosive Sulfur Cube in Minecraft and discover the best ways to use it.
Sulfur Cubes are the mobs introduced in the Minecraft Chaos Cubed update that show specific behaviour depending on the block they consume. So, you won’t actually find any Sulfur Cube that naturally spawns with the explosive variant in the Overworld. Rather, you’ll need to explore the underground areas, find a Sulfur Cave location in Minecraft, and pick a few naturally spawning Sulfur Cube mobs from that biome.
Exploring these caves can be risky due to the presence of Sulfur Spikes, as they would deal damage if you fall on them accidentally. Once you have a Sulfur Cube mob near you, or you’ve picked it up using an empty bucket in Minecraft and spawned it above, you can feed it a TNT block to get an Explosive Sulfur Cube.
To get this Sulfur Cube in Minecraft, you need to either drop a TNT block on the ground or hold the TNT in your primary hand and interact with the cube while pointing towards it. This way, the Sulfur Cube consumes a TNT block and gains the explosive archetype.
In addition to the TNT block, there are a variety of blocks the Sulfur Cube mob can eat in Minecraft. Moreover, when you feed a TNT block to the Sulfur Cube, you unlock the ‘Uh Oh‘ husbandry achievement in Minecraft. With that said, here are some known properties of the explosive sulfur cube in the game:
After you have successfully transformed the Sulfur Cube into its explosive form, the next step is to activate it. You can trigger the explosion by using Flint and Steel, fire charges, or even manually through the dispensers. Other environmental factors, such as lava, flaming projectiles, campfires, and even magma blocks, can ignite the Cube.
After the Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 6, even Sulfur Cubes that have consumed Magma blocks can trigger the explosive ones when both of them come in contact with each other.
Even with a fire resistance status active, the explosive Sulfur Cube can be triggered with any fire blocks or flame effects discussed above. Another interesting way to trigger an explosive Sulfur Cube in Minecraft is by using redstone signals.
Lastly, even the nearby explosions can set off the explosive Sulfur Cubes with an even shorter fuse time. Here are the fuse timings for different methods used to set off the block:
| Trigger Method | Fuse Time (Game Ticks) | Fuse Time (Seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Ignition (Flint and Steel, Redstone, Fire, and more) | 120 ticks | 6 seconds |
| Triggered by nearby explosion | 15-60 ticks | 0.75-3 seconds |
Among all the Minecraft Sulfur Cube archetypes, the explosive one is a special variant that can deal damage to players. Once a Sulfur Cube has consumed the TNT block and has been primed, you cannot shear the TNT inside. Hence, it becomes a powerful damage-dealing tool for the players, which most probably would be used in griefing player bases.
Players have already started experimenting with the explosive Sulfur Cubes in the Overworld. One such instance is when tens and hundreds of explosive Sulfur Cube mobs are attached to a flying Happy Ghast using a leash, and then they’re dropped onto player bases from above as if they’re nuking the whole area.
Since the explosive Sulfur Cube can be triggered using redstone, you can also integrate it into automated systems like dispensers or hidden traps. This can safeguard your base from hostile mobs and other players on the Minecraft PvP servers.
And these are the simple steps to get explosive Sulfur Cubes in Minecraft. So, have you tried the interaction of the explosive Sulfur Cubes and the magma ones? Tell us in the comments below.
Can I remove TNT from Sulfur Cubes after inserting it?
Yes, but you can only remove a TNT block from Sulfur Cubes before they’re primed. Otherwise, they’ll be locked and blast off into pieces.
Can explosions trigger more Sulfur Cubes in Minecraft?
Yes, nearby explosions always activate other Sulfur Cube mobs that have consumed TNT blocks. However, the fuse time is much lower than that of manual triggers.
