In Minecraft, sculk blocks are a family of unique dark turquoise and blue blocks found in the deep dark biome. They are associated with the Warden, one of the strongest enemies in the game. There are five main types of sculk blocks, each with different functions and characteristics:
- Sculk Vein: This is not exactly a block but more like carpeting or vines that grow on top of other blocks that are not sculk blocks. Sculk veins are usually found at the edges of the deep dark biome, attached to deep slate or covering ores[1].
- Sculk: This is the most basic block of the sculk family and is primarily used for decoration. It has an animated texture with glowing spots but does not illuminate the surroundings[2][3].
- Sculk Sensor: Sculk sensors are interactive blocks that collect information from the world around them, such as movement and mob deaths. They can be used with Redstone to create complex contraptions[4].
- Sculk Catalyst: This block can convert other blocks into sculk blocks. The exact mechanics and usage of sculk catalysts are not detailed in the provided search results.
- Sculk Shrieker: This block emits a loud noise when activated, potentially alerting nearby mobs or players. The exact mechanics and usage of sculk shriekers are not detailed in the provided search results.
To find sculk blocks, you need to explore the deep dark biome, which is located far underground and most commonly spawns at the -Y level. You can mine the different sculk blocks using a pickaxe[4]. Sculk blocks are known to drop some of the highest amounts of XP in the game, making them valuable for leveling up[5].
