Mojang Announces The Sift As Minecraft's First New Dimension Since 2011

Mojang announced that The Sift, a new dimension first appearing in Minecraft Dungeons 2, will come to Minecraft’s Java and Bedrock editions in 2027. It will be the game’s first new dimension since The End was introduced in 2011, joining the Overworld, Nether and End. Mojang has described The Sift as a distinct realm with new environments, inhabitants and gameplay; areas mentioned include the Meadow and the Carapace. Minecraft Dungeons 2 is scheduled to launch on September 29, 2026.
In Minecraft Dungeons 2, players can enter the Sift through rifts scattered across an interconnected world; the sequel also adds parkour jumping and aerial attacks.
Mojang’s Minecraft Live presentation described new underground ice caves, frozen zombies that throw ice projectiles, and ice features including glowing crystals and ice balls.
Chief Creative Officer Jens Bergenström said Mojang will not update The End, and is instead focusing on creator tools such as custom experience frameworks and Sound Effects Packs.
The Sift is described as teeming with souls, and its inhabitants include blue bunnies, according to details shared about the new realm.
