When Is The Sift Coming to Minecraft Bedrock?
Mojang confirmed at Minecraft LIVE that The Sift will come to both Java and Bedrock Edition in 2027.
The official announcement does not give a month, day, Bedrock Preview date, or update name yet.
Is The Sift Already in Bedrock?
No, not as a vanilla Minecraft Bedrock feature. The version currently playable in an official Minecraft game is the Dungeons II version, where players enter through rifts.
Bedrock players may see videos showing The Sift inside regular Minecraft. Those are often community add-ons. They can be playable, but their portals, mobs, biomes, and mechanics should not be treated as Mojang's 2027 design.
| Bedrock experience | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Official vanilla The Sift | 2027 | Confirmed by Mojang; exact date and access method not announced. |
| Community Bedrock add-ons | Available | Fan-made recreations with their own installation and portal rules. |
| Minecraft Dungeons II | Live | Official separate game where The Sift is already explorable. |
How Will You Enter The Sift on Bedrock?
Mojang has not revealed the Bedrock entry method. Xbox Wire specifically notes that Mojang is not saying much yet about how players will access The Sift in the main Minecraft game.
That means there is currently no confirmed vanilla Bedrock portal recipe. Ancient City portal tutorials you see today can belong to community add-ons and should not be mistaken for Mojang's future method.

Is The Sift in the New Minecraft Bedrock Update?
Not yet. Mojang has announced The Sift for Bedrock in 2027, but has not identified the exact game drop or update that will include it. If an update page or video gives a specific release date without an official Mojang source, treat it as unconfirmed.
