As H\u00f6glund noted, people have found creative ways to sit down already by way of plopping down in a boat, a mine cart, or by riding an animal. But that&#8217;s not <em>true <\/em>sitting. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SIT DOWN!

I think the cushion opens up so many new possibilities for building. I won&#8217;t even try to get guess what the players are going to end up doing with them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 16 different cushion colors to choose from, as you can see below. The cushions can be crafted using wool slabs, which are also new to the game.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1813993\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"579\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-08-at-9.04.07-AM.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1813993\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sitting is nice, and soon you can do it in Minecraft.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement of the new update for Minecraft comes at a tumultuous time at Xbox, which owns the franchise and developer Mojang. The Swedish studio was among the teams impacted by layoffs. Additionally, it was confirmed that Mojang&#8211;along with Candy Crush studio King&#8211;will now report directly to Xbox CEO Asha Shamra. She said Mojang and King are Xbox&#8217;s &#8220;largest&#8221; units ranked by monthly active players. Another Minecraft-related change as a result of the Xbox &#8220;reset&#8221; is that Minecraft studio head Helen Chiang has been promoted to become the chief operating officer at Xbox. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results,&#8221; Sharma said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minecraft has sold hundreds of millions of copies, and that doesn&#8217;t count spinoff games like Minecraft Dungeons. The sequel, Minecraft Dungeons 2, launches in September. Outside of games, A Minecraft Movie was a huge hit in 2025 and a sequel is set for release in 2027. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/minecraft-is-adding-a-highly-requested-feature-its-been-missing-for-17-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new update coming to Minecraft is adding something the game has never had in its 17-year history and it&#8217;s something everyone loves to do:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2898,2114,9631,2587,504,4640,59],"class_list":["post-67171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-adding","tag-feature","tag-highly","tag-minecraft","tag-missing","tag-requested","tag-years","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/67173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
