How to open the Ancient City portal

1. Play a Goat Horn at the center of an Ancient City. A Singer will appear and awaken the eight Sonorous Deepslate blocks in front of the portal frame.
2. Place a Note Block on each awakened block. Right-click the Note Blocks to tune them. Each cycles through eight notes.
3. Left-click the Note Blocks to play 0 → 2 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 1 → 3 → 7. The order you play them in is what matters. Once you play the correct melody, the blocks replay it and the portal opens.

Explore The Sift 2.0

Explore 11 biomes across the surface and underground, from Coral Forests and the Organic Desert to Ichor-Snowy Peaks and Soulshale Caves. The dimension has its own animated sky, weather, and three-part tide cycle. Beds work during Endure Tide or thunderstorms.

Search Abandoned Camps, Ruined Portals, Ichor Domes, and Soulshale Shelters for loot. Follow explorer maps to remote camps and the Sculkers’ Lair, a buried dungeon patrolled by Stalkers and Scavengers.

Creatures and the Monarch

• Singers and Echo Golems. Befriend an Echo Golem with an Echo Shard and it can bring you Soul Blocks. Trade those blocks with a Singer for loot, including a chance at the Wellspring music disc. You can also build an Echo Golem using Polished Soulshale and a Carved Pumpkin.
• Sifters. Seedlings, Nesters, and Pollinators each fight differently. Craft a Sifter Cap from their hides to pass among them peacefully unless you attack first.
• Blubs and other wildlife. Tame a Blub with Blubby Berries and it will defend you. Wild Blubs feed on ripe Blubby Berries, and can stack into towers. You’ll also encounter Slabbers and Nuzzles, they can be farmed for meat and bred using overgrown vegetation.
• Sulkers. You can find Stalkers, Scavengers and Dark Sniffers in the corrupted regions of the Sift. They also guard their lair.
• The Monarch. Explore the Sculkers’ Lair, then place the Sculkflower on top of Royal Sculk to summon the boss. Defeat it for the Monarch Membrane and combine it with the upgrade template from the lair to make Monarch Elytra, which can gain altitude while gliding.

Ichor, Rifts, and equipment

Ichor drains your health without protection. Enchant your chestplate with Soul Absorption I to prevent the damage, or with Soul Absorption II to turn exposure into Regeneration. The enchantment also changes what happens when you drink bottled Ichor and when you get hit by the Ichor snowball.

Sift Rifts are temporary passages between The Sift and the Overworld. They stay open for five minutes and can carry mobs, vehicles, items, and projectiles as well as players.

Siftite upgrades Netherite tools, weapons, and armor at the Smithing Table. If you die, a Mini Rift returns your lost Siftite gear after you respawn. Charoite can replace Lapis Lazuli at an Enchanting Table to boost eligible enchantments by one level at a higher XP requirement.

The advancement tab offers hints for exploration, bartering, equipment, and boss progression. The Sift also has ambient music by Lealeanz and two music discs, Rift by Fuzja Jądrowa and Wellspring by Echo_Dev.

The Dark Sniffer texture is by ImpSteve.

Mob Sounds are taken from Minecraft Dungeons II. Chiseled Soulshale textures and Soulshale sounds are taken from Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 7.
