Natural generation

Sculk are generated in patch formations within the deep dark biome.

Post-generation

Sculk blocks generate when a mob dies within 8 blocks of a sculk catalyst, replacing any blocks with the sculk_replaceable tag in the area.

Usage

When wool blocks are placed on a sculk block, it will let nearby sculk sensors know, preventing that vibration from being occluded.
