FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Sculk?

A hoe breaks it fastest, but any tool works. With Silk Touch it drops itself; otherwise it yields 1 experience.

How does Sculk spread?

A nearby sculk catalyst converts experience from a mob or player death into new sculk, veins, sensors, and shriekers.

Does Sculk emit light?

No, despite its glowing spots it does not emit any light level.

Where can I find Sculk outside the Deep Dark?

It also appears within ancient city structures, which generate embedded in the deep dark biome.
