Sculk Mod

Sculk Catalyst

This unique block can detect mob deaths within an 8-block radius and spread Sculk (including Sensors and Shriekers). The intensity of spread directly depends on the amount of experience that would normally drop from the killed mob. This valuable block can be found in dungeon, mineshaft, and stronghold chests.

Sculk Shrieker

Detects the presence of Sculk Sensors within 8 blocks and reacts to entities stepping on it. When activated, it applies the Darkness effect to all players in the area of effect.

Sculk Block

When this block is broken, it drops one experience orb, making it a valuable resource for collection.

Sculk Veins

These decorative elements form along the edges of Sculk growths and on top of blocks that cannot be replaced by sculk overgrowth.

Multithreading (version 1.0.7+)

The sculkThreading game rule is enabled by default, significantly improving performance. This feature is ideal for servers and most computer configurations.

If necessary, multithreading can be disabled with the command "/gamerule sculkThreading false", but be prepared for possible performance degradation with active Catalysts.

/gamerule sculkThreads (1.0.9+): Allows you to configure the number of available threads for Sculk growth. Setting the value to 21 means that each Sculk block will use a separate thread, which may affect performance differently depending on your hardware.
