The Sift in Minecraft Dungeons II

Minecraft Dungeons II is the first officially shown setting for the Sift. Minecraft Dungeons II is scheduled to launch on September 29, 2026. Availability may vary by platform and region. The checked first-party game pages still offer pre-orders, so current play availability is unverified. Mojang says players enter it through rifts.

Launch and platform

Minecraft Dungeons II is scheduled to launch on September 29, 2026. Availability may vary by platform and region. The checked first-party game pages still offer pre-orders, so current play availability is unverified. Dungeons II is a separate action RPG: owning or installing a Java Sift mod is not a way to enter its version of the dimension. Check the official game page for current availability.

Different from the Java mod

Mielon’s author states that the Java mod is an interpretation and not an exact replica. Its Ancient City note sequence belongs to that mod, not to Dungeons II.
