What biomes are in the Sift?

Mojang has named two: Meadows and Carapace. It introduced them as new biomes “including” those two, which suggests there are more, but the rest are being kept under wraps. Treat Meadows and Carapace as the officially named biomes, not as a full list.

How many biomes does the Sift have?

Not announced. Mojang has named two biomes and said they are among the new ones, without giving a total. No count from any other source has been officially confirmed.

Is Singer’s Meadow part of the Meadows biome?

Not officially confirmed. Singer’s Meadow is a location recorded by the community on minecraft.wiki for Dungeons II. Mojang has not said which biome it belongs to, and the similar name is not evidence that the two are connected.

Is “The Carapace” the same thing as the Carapace biome?

Not officially confirmed. Community records on minecraft.wiki list “The Carapace” as a Dungeons II location. Carapace is also one of the two biomes Mojang has named, but Mojang has not said whether that location and the biome are the same place.

Will Java & Bedrock have the same Sift biomes as Dungeons II?

Not announced. The Sift is coming to Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition in 2027, but Mojang has not said how the Minecraft version of the dimension will differ from the Dungeons II version. Dungeons II location records cannot be used to predict the Java & Bedrock biome list.

Sift Biomes in Minecraft: Meadows, Carapace & Locations

Two names are all Mojang has given out. When it presented the Sift, Minecraft’s fourth dimension, it described the new biomes as including Meadows and Carapace. That one word, “including,” matters: it signals there is more to the dimension than those two, while the other biomes stay under wraps. Everything else you may have read about Sift terrain, from named places to the color of the stone, comes from players documenting Minecraft Dungeons II. This page keeps those two kinds of information apart.

The two biomes Mojang has named

The official announcements give these two biomes a name and nothing else, so the honest entry for each is short.

Meadows

Confirmed as a Sift biome by name. What it looks like, how large it is, and which mobs and blocks belong there are Not announced.

Carapace

Also confirmed by name and nothing more. A community-recorded Dungeons II location shares the word — more on that below — but Mojang has not tied the two together, so nothing from that location should be read into the biome.

The official description of the Sift as a whole is broader than either biome: Mojang calls it “an uncharted dimension of threats, mysteries, and breathtaking beauty,” and says hazardous new blocks will change how you explore it. How many biomes make up that dimension is Not announced.

Places the community has recorded in Dungeons II

Community records — not officially confirmed. Players documenting Dungeons II on minecraft.wiki’s Dungeons II: The Sift page (accessed October 3, 2026) list the following locations in the Sift. The page marks itself as a work in progress, and the list does not come from Mojang.

Lullaby Hills
Lullaby Hilltop
Illager Stronghold
Singer’s Meadow
The Carapace
Echo Den

These are recorded as locations, and they should be read that way. None of them has been confirmed by Mojang as a biome, so this is not a biome list with six extra entries.

Two names deserve a closer look because they echo the official ones. Singer’s Meadow sounds like it might belong to Meadows, and The Carapace sounds like it might be the Carapace biome itself. Neither link has been confirmed. Mojang has not said where either location sits, and matching words are not evidence.

What the Sift’s landscape is made of

Community records — not officially confirmed. The same wiki page describes the Sift’s environment in Dungeons II as built from:

red-orange stone
green vegetation
ichor
sculk

The sculk comes with a piece of community-recorded story. According to the wiki, corrupted sculk originates from a disease in the Sift, while healthy sculk still survives there. This too is a community record of Dungeons II, not Mojang describing the Java & Bedrock dimension.

What is still not announced

The gaps are larger than the facts, and they are worth stating plainly so that a confident-sounding biome guide elsewhere can be checked against them:

The total number of Sift biomes — Not announced
Any biome name besides Meadows and Carapace — Not announced
Which mobs and blocks belong to which biome — Not announced
Whether the Java & Bedrock version will match Dungeons II — Not announced
The exact 2027 date for Java & Bedrock — Not announced

Mojang’s own advice is that the best way to preview how the Sift works is to play Dungeons II, and that more will come in future Minecraft LIVE events. For background, see what the Sift is, the mobs recorded so far, and how to get there. This page will be updated when Mojang names another biome.
