The cushion is a new Minecraft entity that functions like a block. It allows the player to sit down after 17 FULL YEARS. It was announced on July 7, 2026, alongside wool stairs and slabs, and straw beds.
Since it’s an entity just like a boat, while functioning more similarly to a shulker, it is the first block that can be put on ANY Y LEVEL. This is done by placing it on a non-full block and it changes its y value by placing it on the block directly, or on top of one of its hitboxes.
Despite being intended to make chairs, people have already made ways to turn it into led floors. They have produced over 150 colors by placing it on a sign and quickly replacing the the block with a light source block. Turning the light source on and off affects the cushion’s brightness level.
Previously, people used sulfur cubes to make TVs, but they are really laggy and require datapacks and optimization mods to run, sometimes even needing insanely expensive PCs. But with cushions being more optimized and most importantly having no AI or anticipation by the game to move, they are simply better.
YouTuber CraftyMasterMan has already made a cushion LED screen. It works by just using a 3x3 grid of red, green, and blue cushions, and different copper bulb oxidation levels for different light levels. The resolution is insane, and is expandable infinitely because it’s on the ground, not needing to follow the 319 world height limit. You can up your simulation and render distance with mods such as Bobby and Voxy, which is better because it’s more optimized.
In conclusion, cushions are a new Minecraft entity that is meant to be sat on, but instead is used for TVs. It really goes to show how imaginative minecrafters are. While it doesn’t look too good now, just you wait, and people will keep finding ways to make it better and better.
