SulfurCubes+
Sulfur cubes were already one of the strangest additions to Minecraft, but SulfurCubes+ takes them somewhere completely new. This add-on gives the humble cube a full toolkit of abilities: it can explode, glow, hurt anything that touches it, open a crafting UI, and even hatch a baby Happy Ghast. If you have ever looked at a sulfur cube and thought "that thing should be a nuke," this is the add-on you have been waiting for.
What SulfurCubes+ Adds to the Game
The core idea behind SulfurCubes+ is simple: whatever block a sulfur cube absorbs, it should behave like that block. The execution, however, is anything but simple. From v0.7.0 onward, the add-on leans on Mojang's own vanilla TNT implementation for sulfur cubes, which means the base behavior stays close to the official game. On top of that foundation, SulfurCubes+ layers in two important tweaks: the fuse now triggers on any direct hit, and the bigger the cube, the bigger the boom. Stack enough of them together and you can build a genuine Sulfur Nuke.
Supported Versions and Loaders
SulfurCubes+ for Minecraft is built for modern Java Edition releases, including the snapshot line where Mojang first introduced sulfur cube TNT support. Because the add-on tracks vanilla behavior closely, it stays compatible with the versions that ship those sulfur cube mechanics. Before you commit to a world, double-check the loader requirements on the project page, since the add-on follows the snapshot cycle rather than older stable branches.
Light Cubes, Cactus Cubes, and Workstation Cubes
Light Cubes
Absorb a light-emitting block and the cube starts casting real light into the world, matching the behavior players already know from Bedrock Edition. Compatible blocks include Glowstone, Sea Lantern, Crying Obsidian, Magma Block, Shroomlight, Jack o'Lantern, and all three Froglight variants. A wall of glowing sulfur cubes is a genuinely practical lighting solution.
Cactus Cubes
Feed a cactus to a cube and it becomes a hazard. Any entity that touches it takes damage, exactly like walking into a placed cactus block. Attack it and you take cactus damage back, as if you punched the real thing. Other sulfur cubes that drift into a cactus cube get pushed away, which makes for some entertaining physics.
Workstation Cubes
Crafting workstations can be absorbed too. Right-click the cube to open its interface, or shift and right-click to pick it back up. Supported blocks cover the Crafting Table, Stonecutter, Grindstone, Smithing Table, Loom, Cartography Table, and Anvil, turning a single cube into a portable workshop.
Redstone Cubes and Ghast Cubes
Absorb a Redstone Block and the cube becomes a live signal source, powering adjacent components in all six directions just like a placed block. For anyone who enjoys compact redstone builds, this opens up some creative wiring options.
The Ghast Cube is the showpiece. Absorb a Dried Ghast, submerge the cube in water, and it hydrates. Once fully hydrated, a baby Happy Ghast spawns and the cube shifts into Ghast Soul Mode, wrapping around the ghastling as a translucent shell. The cube grows alongside the ghast as it matures. Shears free the ghast at any time, and this is the route to a tier 4 sized sulfur cube. Note that a cube which has already completed a soul cycle cannot re-hydrate.
Other supported blocks with functionality include the Command Block, Heavy Core, Netherite Block, Powdered Snow, Sponge, Wet Sponge, End Rod, and every Copper Bulb variant. More block support is planned for future updates.
How to Install SulfurCubes+
- Confirm your Minecraft version matches the add-on's supported snapshot or release.
- Install the correct loader for your version.
- Drop the SulfurCubes+ file into your add-ons folder.
- Launch the game and verify the add-on appears in your active list.
If you would rather skip the manual file shuffling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, pulling SulfurCubes+ straight into your setup and keeping it updated as new builds land. It is a clean shortcut for players who just want to play.
Final Thoughts
SulfurCubes+ respects the vanilla game while pushing sulfur cubes far beyond their original purpose. Between explosive nukes, functional lighting, damage-dealing cactus shells, portable workstations, and a full ghast life cycle, there is more here than most add-ons deliver. Download SulfurCubes+ and see how far you can push a single cube.
