Minecraft is getting an autumn update with a new biome called the Dappled Forest. The next big update, called Chaos Cubed, comes out on June 17, 2026.

Minecraft fans have completed a major project by secretly archiving about 24 terabytes of the famous 2b2t server, an old no-rules anarchy server that has run continuously since 2011. A small team from 2b2tplace spent years mapping a massive 1,024,000 by 1,024,000 block area in the Overworld as well as large parts of the Nether and the End from late 2024 to early 2026 using custom tools while staying hidden to avoid trouble. This archive preserves the server’s unique history with old player builds, ruined bases, and stories from more than 15 years of unrestricted play. People can explore it now through the interactive map at 2b2t(.)place in a web browser or by connecting to wayback. 2b2t .place directly in Minecraft. The team has already released many pictures, timelapses, spreadsheets, and over 8 GB of extra data files. They are preparing the full 24-terabyte torrent for release in the coming weeks
