A new dimension will appear in Minecraft for the first time in 14 years

Mojang Studios has introduced a new dimension, The Sift, for Minecraft. It will be the first new dimension in the game in over 14 years and will appear in the main version of Minecraft in 2027.

Players will first be able to enter The Sift on September 29 with the release of Minecraft Dungeons II. According to the game's plot, strange events begin to occur in the familiar world: new enemies appear, and souls start moving through the world. Players discover The Sift — a new reality with its own rules.

The dimension will feature new biomes, mobs, and blocks. Among the already presented biomes are Meadows and Carapace. Some details about The Sift have not yet been revealed by the developers.

The conditions for exploring the world will change in the new location. Changes occur within the dimension that can affect the character and surrounding creatures, while dangerous blocks will require players to adopt a new approach to exploration.

The Sift will first appear in Minecraft Dungeons II and then become part of the main Minecraft in 2027. Mojang has not yet disclosed how players will be able to enter the new dimension in the main game.

Minecraft Dungeons II will be released on September 29 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, and will also be available via Game Pass. The game will also be released on Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
