Quick answer and official status
Mojang calls the Sift a new dimension in Minecraft Dungeons II. Its gameplay trailer shows that players reach it through rifts. 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. The September Minecraft LIVE announcement also says the dimension is planned for Java and Bedrock in 2027. No exact vanilla launch day or complete Java/Bedrock feature list is confirmed.
Known official areas and creatures
The Minecraft LIVE recap names the Meadow and Carapace as Dungeons II areas and says a mob in the planned Minecraft dimension was teased. This does not establish a complete vanilla biome or mob list. The specific Singer, Sifter, Blub, Siftite and Ichor entries on this site describe Mielon’s community mod.
Entry methods by implementation
Dungeons II uses rifts in its separate action RPG. Mojang has not confirmed a craftable portal or entry recipe for the coming vanilla Java and Bedrock dimension. Mielon’s Ancient City sound puzzle, Wellspring’s Warden key, MoonBear’s repairable ruined portals and the Bedrock add-on’s portal are four separate community implementations.
Where the dimension appears
Mojang describes a Sift dimension in Minecraft Dungeons II, entered through rifts. Minecraft LIVE then announced a version for Java and Bedrock in 2027. Specific vanilla portal mechanics have not been confirmed in the cited announcement.
Community implementations
Mielon’s Java mod adds its own Sift world with ten author-described biomes, Ichor, Siftite, rifts, and an Ancient City sound puzzle. Those details describe that mod only. MoonBear_Modding’s separate CurseForge project lists a Minecraft 26.1.2 NeoForge file and describes five new mobs plus ruined portals players can repair and light. The author does not name the mobs or give a repair recipe on that page, so those details remain unconfirmed.
How to read this guide
Every entity page is tagged by source. “Official Minecraft” means a Mojang announcement. “Community mod” means an author’s published description or release metadata. We hold back entries when neither provides enough substance.
