Minecraft’s long‑awaited dimension, The Sift, will debut in both Java and Bedrock editions next year, after more than a decade of speculation.
Launch Details
Game Director Agnes Larsson confirmed in the September 2026 Minecraft Live that The Sift will be integrated into vanilla Minecraft for the 2027 release cycle, becoming the first new dimension added since The End.
