Blocks

Several salmon-colored blocks are referred to as orange in color in the Audio Description.^[3]

Sift stone

• A dark teal rock that acts as the stone of the Sift. Whether it is the same material as chiseled soulshale has yet to be officially confirmed.

Sift dirt

• A dark pink dirt-like block that generates naturally below grass blocks.

Dark Sift grass block

• This version has a dark salmon color but is referred to as orange in the Audio Description.^[3]

Light Sift grass block

• This version has a lighter salmon color but is referred to as orange in the Audio Description.^[3]

Green Sift grass block

• A damp green grass-like block visible in the distance in the reveal footage.

Dark Sift short grass

• This version has a dark salmon color but is referred to as orange in the Audio Description.^[3]

Light Sift short grass

• This version has a lighter salmon color but is referred to as orange in the Audio Description.^[3]

Green Sift short grass

• Short green foliage visible in the distance in the reveal footage.

Dark Sift tall grass

• The closest of these to the camera have their bottom halves mostly obscured by shorter variants; however, it seems as though they are indeed two blocks high, rather than one block high growing on an obscured grass block.

Light Sift tall grass

• This is seen very far in the distance, so it might be a different block.

Green Sift tall grass

• Tall green foliage visible in the distance of the reveal footage.

Sift tree log

• A gray tree trunk block, comparable in color to the pale oak log.

Sift tree leaves

• Comprises the upper canopies of a generated tree feature in an unnamed, distant forested biome depicted in the reveal.

Sift foliage

• This stalactite-like block, much like pale hanging moss from pale oak trees or weeping vines from huge crimson fungi, appears to hang down from the Sift tree features.

Mobs

Blub

• A small, rabbit-like^[4] passive mob that is native to the Sift and can squeak.

Environment

The Sift appears to have a significant amount of elevation changes; cliffs of at least a dozen blocks may be seen, and the top of a tree-like structure can be seen in the distance between some of the foliage in the foreground, implying a height difference of several dozen blocks.

Features

Sift tree

• Generated feature composed of dark gray log-like blocks similar to pale oak logs and white leaf-like blocks.
• Appears to generate with a thick trunk that thins further up the tree, with the thicker part of the trunk appearing much thicker than the trunks of previously existing tree types.

History

Announcement

Trivia

• Despite Agnes Larsson stating that the Sift is the first new dimension to be implemented into the base game in over 14 years, its 2027-scheduled implementation actually increases that count to at least 15, as the End was implemented first in November 2011.
• The audio description for the vanilla reveal footage describes the foliage as orange rather than salmon-pink.
