Sulfur Cube looks like another bouncy blob roaming the new Sulfur caves, introduced as part of the Minecraft Chaos Cubed update. However, once it consumes a block, its entire physical identity shifts along with how it interacts with the environment. Whether you want a bouncy projectile or a sliding puck, the Sulfur Cube can turn into either, depending on the block eaten by the mob. Curious about the blocks the mob can eat and how they affect them? Check out a list of blocks the Sulfur Cube mob can eat in Minecraft and the physics-altering archetypes they unlock.
Editor’s Note: Last checked for the blocks list on May 5, 2026. The table for blocks the Sulfur cube mob can absorb is up-to-date based on the Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 5.
All Blocks Eaten by Minecraft Sulfur Cube Mob
Not every block in Minecraft can be absorbed by a Sulfur Cube. It can only consume full-sized, solid blocks. Once absorbed, that specific block permanently locks the mob into one of the unique Sulfur Cube archetypes in Minecraft. This effect is reflected in the mob’s physics and properties, such as bounciness, speed, friction, and buoyancy.
Ready to experiment with this new mob? Here is the full list of blocks you can feed the Sulfur Cube mobs in the Minecraft Chaos Cubed update, along with their archetypes:

After consuming the blocks, every archetype alters how the Sulfur Cube behaves when hit, pushed, or launched in Minecraft. Feed the mob a wood-type block, and you will be dodging a ricocheting rubber ball.
On the other hand, when Sulfur Cube absorbs the metal-based blocks, you get a slow-moving and low-bouncing tank mob. There is a massive range of blocks the Sulfur Cube mob can eat, but are there any blocks it cannot eat?
What Minecraft Blocks Can Sulfur Cube Mobs not Eat?
While the Sulfur Cube can absorb a wide variety of blocks, it does have a few limitations. Knowing its dietary restrictions will save you from wasting valuable items that these slimy mobs will ignore. Before you start tossing your hard-earned blocks around, check out the blocks Sulfur Cube outright refuses to eat in Minecraft:
- Non-solid blocks like torches, flowers, or redstone dust.
- Transparent or partial blocks like glass panes, stairs, leaves, or fences.
- The Villager job site and utility blocks, like crafting table, furnace, or grindstone blocks.
- Liquids or intangible blocks, such as a bucket of water or lava.
- Other Minecraft mobs and entities that are not block-based, such as zombies, slime blocks, or swords.
Note: The smaller Sulfur Cubes cannot absorb any blocks in Minecraft. This ability is exclusive to the large Sulfur Cubes.
