Quick answer
- A Sculk sensor hears vibrations up to 8 blocks away and gives a redstone signal.
- A
Sculk shrieker calls the warden after you set it off too many times. - Sneaking makes no vibrations, and
wool blocks them.
Sculk blocks cover the deep dark under ancient cities. Some just look creepy. Others can get you killed.

The blocks
| Block | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sculk | Decoration. Drops XP when mined without Silk Touch |
 Sculk vein | Thin covering on walls |
| Sculk sensor | Hears vibrations, outputs redstone |
| Sculk shrieker | Shrieks and warns the warden |
 Sculk catalyst | Spreads sculk when mobs die near it |
Staying quiet
- Sneak everywhere in the deep dark. Sneaking doesn't trigger sensors.
- Place White wool or any wool on top of sensors to cover them.
- Breaking sensors and shriekers with a hoe is quick.
The wardenEach shriek raises a warning level. On the fourth warning, the warden comes out of the ground.
Redstone uses
Sensors make great hidden switches. A calibrated sculk sensor, made with 3 amethyst shards, only listens for certain vibrations.
Silk TouchYou need Silk Touch to collect sculk blocks. Shriekers you place yourself never summon the warden.
Cheat sheet
- Sensors hear up to 8 blocks
- Sneak and use wool
- Fourth warning brings the warden
- Silk Touch to collect
