The '''sculk family''' is a set of "alien-looking blocks with unique properties."<ref>https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/meet-warden</ref> These blocks appear exclusively within the [[deep dark]] biome. With the exception of sculk veins all sculk blocks drop only [[experience]] when broken with a tool that is not enchanted with [[Silk Touch]]. All blocks from this family are mined fastest with a [[hoe]].

; Blocks
* [[File:Sculk.gif|32px]] [[Sculk]], a block found abundantly in the deep dark. Drops 1 experience.
* [[File:Sculk Catalyst.png|32px]] [[Sculk catalyst]], a block that converts blocks around it to blocks in the sculk family (except for more sculk catalysts) when a mob that drops [[experience]] dies nearby. Drops 5 experience.
* [[File:Sculk Sensor.gif|32px]] [[Sculk sensor]], a block that detects vibrations and outputs a [[Redstone Dust|redstone]] signal as well as triggering nearby sculk shriekers. Drops 5 experience.
** [[File:Calibrated Sculk Sensor.gif|32px]] [[Calibrated sculk sensor]], a variant of the sculk sensor that can be set to react to only a specific type of vibration.
* [[File:Sculk Shrieker.gif|32px]] [[Sculk shrieker]], a block that "shrieks" if a player stands on it or triggers a nearby sculk sensor. This shrieking may cause the emergence of a warden, if the sculk shrieker in question was created at world generation. Drops 5 experience.
* [[File:Sculk Vein.gif|32px]] [[Sculk vein]], a non-solid block found in the deep dark, and the only one that does not drop experience when broken.

; Mobs
* [[File:Warden.png|32px]] [[Warden]], a hostile mob that emerges with the fourth activation of a natural sculk shrieker. Has the highest [[health]] and melee [[damage]] of all naturally spawning mobs, and can attack with ranged piercing sonic boom attacks if necessary. However, it is completely blind and relies on vibrations, smell and touch to identify players and mobs to attack.

; Features
* [[File:Sculk group generated.png|32px]] [[Sculk patch]], a [[Feature|generated feature]] composed of several sculk catalysts and sculk shriekers.
* [[File:Sculk vines generated.png|32px]] [[Sculk Vein (feature)]], a patch of sculk vein generated on blocks with similar parameters to [[Glow Lichen]].

; Blocks
* [[File:Sculk Jaw (pre-release).png|32px]] [[File:Sculk Jaw 2 (pre-release).png|32px]] [[Sculk jaw]], a scrapped block that would have been used as a trap.<ref>{{tweet|kingbdogz|1431995233936494594|Sculk Trap (which is actually called Sculk Jaw) is unlikely to make it into the game|August 29, 2021}}</ref>
