Sculk is a block found abundantly in the deep dark or converted from other blocks by a sculk catalyst. Like most of the rest of the sculk family, it drops experience when broken by a tool.

Obtaining

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

The suitable tool to break sculk is any type of hoe.

Post-generation

[edit | edit source]

Sculk blocks generate when a mob dies within 8 blocks of a sculk catalyst, replacing blocks in the area with the sculk_replaceable tag, which includes the surface blocks of most biomes in all three dimensions:

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Sculk blocks are primarily used for decoration. They have an animated texture that consists of glowing spots, but they do not illuminate the surroundings. It has a similar texture of an end portal viewed from above.

Sculk spreading and growth

[edit | edit source]

Sculk, when connected to sculk catalysts, is used to grow a patch of sculk. See sculk catalyst for more details.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • "Sculk" is derived from the word "skulk," meaning "keep out of sight, typically with a sinister or cowardly motive".[1]
  • During the prototype phase, sculk was much easier to trigger; simply stepping on it would make a lot of noise and attract the warden. This ended up being deemed unfair.[2]
