The popular game Minecraft is preparing to receive a major change to its world during 2027, with the arrival of a new dimension called "The Sift" to the Java and Bedrock versions.

Mojang announced the dimension during the Minecraft Live event last September, making it the first new dimension added to the game in more than 14 years, joining the Overworld, Nether, and End.
The Soft represents a different addition than the in-game environment or area updates, as it expands the basic structure of the Minecraft world by adding a fourth dimension that players can explore, stay in, and build in. Mojang describes this world as vibrant, colorful, and full of spirits, with new environments, creatures, and gameplay rules.
The company has not yet revealed all the details of the new dimension or how players will be able to access it in the basic version of Minecraft, but it confirmed that "The Soft" will arrive in the Java and Bedrock versions during 2027. It also indicated that the version that appears in "Minecraft Dungeons II" may differ in some aspects from the experience that will later arrive in the original game.
"The Soft" introduces new rules that players must learn, along with hazards and dangerous blocks that can change the way the environment is handled and explored. The dimension also includes new creatures, some of which can be an ally to the player, while others represent a threat that must be confronted.
A different experience in exploration and confrontation
Available information shows that "The Soft" was designed to offer an experience that goes beyond simply adding a new area to the Minecraft map. The presence of dimension-specific rules, new creatures, and environmental hazards means that players will need to deal with the place using different mechanisms than those they are used to in the upper world.
Xbox indicates that what happens inside "The Soft" includes changes that can affect the player and those around him, in addition to risks associated with new blocks and environments, but the company has not yet revealed the full details of these mechanisms in the basic version of Minecraft, so how they are employed in exploration, survival and building remains one of the most prominent aspects that will become clear as the release of the expansion approaches.
First appearance in Minecraft Dungeons 2
Players won't have to wait until 2027 to see "The Soft" for the first time, as the dimension appeared earlier in "Minecraft Dungeons II," which was released on September 29th. One of the game's ideas revolves around the appearance of mysterious cracks in the world that can transport players to "The Soft," where they face new threats and explore different environments.
This experience gives players an early glimpse into the identity of the new dimension, including some of the creatures, environments, and rules that characterize it. However, Xbox emphasizes that The Soft experience in Minecraft Dungeons 2 is not necessarily an exact replica of what will arrive in Minecraft in 2027.
