The Sift Mobs: All 13 Creatures in Minecraft Dungeons 2

The full list of the sift mobs in Minecraft Dungeons 2: 13 species, five unofficial names flagged, three bosses, and what Blub really is.

Last Updated: 2026-09-27

The Sift Mobs: Every Creature in the Sift Dimension

Quick answer: Minecraft Dungeons II documents 13 mobs living in the Sift, the new dimension that arrives with the game on September 29, 2026. Eight of those species carry official names. Five are community labels that the wiki explicitly marks as unofficial names: Antenna Sifter, Licker, Sculk Mage, Sculk Slasher and Sift Sheep. Three more creatures — Harmonizer, Monarch and Sculk Monstrosity — are bosses, so they sit outside the regular spawn list.

Everything below reflects what has been published as of September 27, 2026, two days before launch. Health values, drop tables, spawn rules and hostility for the thirteen are not yet confirmed, so treat any site publishing those numbers before release as guessing.

All 13 Sift Species

The wiki files these creatures under the Sift's Inhabitants section, and the name column is the part players should read twice. Mojang published eight of the thirteen names; the remaining five came from the community and are still flagged as unofficial on the source page.

Species Name status What is confirmed
Antenna Sifter Unofficial name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Blub Official name Deluxe Edition pet and an Overworld passive mob
Crested Sentinel Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Echo Golem Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Groobler Sentinel Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Licker Unofficial name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Nester Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Sculk Mage Unofficial name Sculk-themed label; behaviour not yet confirmed
Sculk Slasher Unofficial name Sculk-themed label; behaviour not yet confirmed
Seedling Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Sift Sheep Unofficial name Passive-animal label; behaviour not yet confirmed
Sprout Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed
Trill Official name Listed as a Sift inhabitant; behaviour not yet confirmed

Two patterns show up in the names even without stat data. The sculk half of the list ties the dimension to the Deep Dark, which is where the portal into the Sift sits, and the plant half — Seedling, Sprout, Trill — matches the dimension's green growth over red and orange stone. What the wiki does not publish yet is which of these are hostile, which drop loot, and which are ambient life you walk past.

The full source for the roster is the wiki Sift entry, compiled from official trailers and Minecraft Live coverage. Layout details for the dimension itself, its three zones and its entry points are covered on the Sift dimension page.

Why Five Names Are Marked Unofficial

A wiki flag of "unofficial name" means Mojang has never printed that name in a trailer, article, store page or press kit. The community coined the label, the wiki keeps it so people can search for it, and the flag stays until an official source confirms it. That distinction matters more than it looks: a guide that reports "the Sculk Slasher drops X" is treating a fan label as a shipped fact.

The five flagged names are Antenna Sifter, Licker, Sculk Mage, Sculk Slasher and Sift Sheep. The other eight — Blub, Crested Sentinel, Echo Golem, Groobler Sentinel, Nester, Seedling, Sprout and Trill — are official, which means they came out of published material rather than forum agreement.

Do not repeat unofficial names as confirmed content

If a screenshot or a leak shows a creature and someone attaches one of the five flagged names to it, that assignment is still community speculation. Launch day on September 29, 2026 is when in-game nameplates settle the question, and until then the honest phrasing is "reported as" rather than "called".

There is a second gap to keep straight: two characters who appear in the Sift, Bubbles and Singer, are not mobs at all. They are listed as characters, which puts them on the story side of the page rather than the combat side. The playable roster and the returning cast live on the heroes list page.

Blub Is the Name People Search For

Blub is the entry that broke out of the pack in US search data around Minecraft Live, and it is the only species on this list that most players will meet outside a fight. It carries an official name and pulls double duty: Blub is the pet bundled with the Deluxe Edition, and it also shows up among the Overworld's passive mobs rather than only inside the Sift.

That double role is why searches for Blub pull up both a pet and a creature. Buying the Deluxe Edition at $49.99 unlocks the Blub pet alongside the Soul Cape, four hero skins and both planned DLC packs, while the free version is just an animal wandering the Overworld. Edition contents and the price gap between the two SKUs are on the editions comparison page.

What is not yet confirmed is whether Blub spawns inside the Sift as well, whether the pet version follows the player like earlier Minecraft Dungeons pets did, and whether the Overworld passive and the Sift listing are the same creature or two entries sharing a name.

The Three Sift Bosses

Bosses get their own category on the source page, separate from the thirteen species. The Sift has three of them, and they anchor the dimension's combat arc alongside the illager invasion that is stripping the zone for resources and souls.

Boss Role in the Sift Notes
Harmonizer Named Sift boss One of the dimension's three boss encounters
Monarch Named Sift boss Sift-specific boss, listed alongside the game's full roster
Sculk Monstrosity Named Sift boss Visual and mechanical link between the Sift and the sculk family

All three sit inside the game's wider ten-boss lineup, which also holds Copper Monstrosity, Monstrous Opus, Prime Enchanter, Redstone Monstrosity, Supreme Evoker, Twisted Warden and Wandering Witch. The Enderman and Warden work as mini-bosses rather than full bosses, and bosses in this game carry a named health bar at the top of the screen. The complete roster, including which of the ten gates which area, is on the bosses list page, and the source for the boss categorization is the wiki boss entry.

Exact health, phase counts and drop tables for the three Sift bosses need launch-day verification. Nothing published before September 29, 2026 provides them.

What Vanilla Minecraft Shows of These Mobs

The Sift does not stay exclusive to Dungeons II. Minecraft Live on September 26, 2026 confirmed the dimension arrives in Minecraft Java and Bedrock in 2027 as the fourth dimension after the Overworld, the Nether and the End — the first addition of its kind in 14 years.

The official recap of that broadcast says viewers caught a glimpse of the dimension in Minecraft, "and even one of the mobs that calls it home." One creature, not a roster. The recap does not name it, and nothing published so far ties that glimpse to a specific entry in the thirteen-row table above, so matching the vanilla footage to a name is not yet confirmed either.

Parity between the two games is also unconfirmed. Dungeons II runs its own combat and loot systems built on Unreal Engine with four-player co-op, so the same species could behave completely differently in Java and Bedrock. Search interest in the dimension jumped roughly 700 percent in the US during the showcase window, which is the main reason creature pages are being written before anyone has fought them. The arrival timeline and the 2027 year-only window are covered on the when is the sift coming to minecraft page, and the broader sequel changes are on the what is new comparison.
