The shrieker sounding while he was strip mining was so cool. It would be quite the thrill if it was survival and the warden just pops up in the strip mine after you hear the shrieker.

[@tictacleia]

That is NOT a strip mine! A strip mine is a SURFACE mine. What he's doing is called tunnel mining. Strip miners, like my dad was for 50+ years, never go underground. The miners remove layers of land from the SURFACE, making a deep pit to expose the coal.

[@imalwayslast3170]

I haven't had much time for games recently as I got married and now have a step son. I also started my own business...so life's been busy. But the kiddo is out of school and wanted to see me play Minecraft so I updated and got going. I hadn't really played in about 3 years and I spawned on a mountain with a HUGE hole right next to me. The hole kept going and going and I finally got to what I thought was the bottom(it seemed excessively deep) and I found the Deep Dark not knowing it existed or what it was. I had two thoughts..."What the hell?" and "RUNNING TIME!" I didn't know what I had gotten into. Good info in your video.

[@yipyipyipi]

So a sensor with wool on the inside a d outside of your base, allowing it to sense up down and along the length of your wall. Then a few Redstone logic gates, AND gates mostly, you could have traps set up that find if someone is approaching/breaking blocks to get in, qnd only set off traps near them.

[@loganboehnlein2738]

The fact the durability bar was barely showing up the whole time you cleared out the sculk was so satisfying

[@Lowkull]

Thanks so much for the video.. I was hoping to get a warden in a gladiator pit for my friends and I in my survival world by using the skulk catalyst to naturally spawn in a shrieker, but after watching the video now I know those shriekers aren't gonna spawn any wardens. Bummer for the gladiator pit, but I appreciate you saving a bunch of my time!

[@Prophetofflame]

i watched someone on tiktok lure a warden from the deep dark into a build using a giant bridge and then name tag it so it didnt despawn

[@armchairgravy8224]

I've recently started playing Minecraft again after a ten year hiatus. Since this is the 4th video of yours I've watched this week, I may as well subscribe. Thanks for helping me get back up to speed!

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

A great use for a Skulk Sensor is a hidden switch. Wrap it in wool everywhere except above it, and then put a block above it and you can have what is essentially an invisible pressure plate that's only activated by stepping on that one block.

[@coolsnake360]

[@x.0_o.x]

This video has now become one of my favorites in your channel

[@jacobsilasramsey]

Can one mine in a similar fashion to moss mining with a Skulk Catalyst? Would have to get perhaps a farm going for any animal in the deep dark (chickens maybe easiest) and the Catalyst does not create Shriekers that can summon the warden (although it can create shriekers but they are not able to summon warden). I havent tried yet, but am planning on trying when i clear a large room out of the shriekers and initial skulk (except the catalyst blocks). In this way, one can get absolutely tons of experience, lots of chicken bits, and ores.

[@gaminggeckos4388]

How far does the lack of mob spawns extend? Like, surely it doesn't apply to the surface, right? But does it go the rest of the way towards bedrock?

[@OW0974]

The deep dark biome is a great idea executed poorly in my opinion, I've always wanted some horror element but the warden can just be cheesed so easily, and the free xp is just way too overpowered. The biome itself should also generate less in my opinion

[@bill2438]

yeah good luck cheesing the warden. And enderman farms still generate way more xp and faster automatically

3:25 What you demonstrated is branch mining. Strip mining is where you excavate a large hole starting at the surface and digging down to make a huge pit.

No, he did demonstrate strip mining, branch mining is that variant of strip mining where you have many small strips branching out of the main strip Edit: And that thing you talk about is excavating

[@thirdiprodigy3579]

Can pre update generated areas have skulk if the world is updated or will it not spawn in chunks already discovered? been craving for 2 days and not a single skulk

[@ISA_Joe_G]

I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong. Built our camp next to a massive Badlands Mountain we've found everything from Diamonds to Emeralds to an Amethyst Geode in there. But somehow going all the way down to Bedrock we can only find traces of a deep dark. Rooms filled with skulk with 1 or two shrikers but never a larger area, larger than a room, and still no sign of an Ancient City either. Are these Biome's just room size or significantly large like the Dripstone Cave etc.?

[@outcast4087]

I learned from Branzy (or Rekrap) that you can distract the Warden with a bell and a redstone clock (using observers is the easiest way).

[@cmaej28]

Imagine the XP you get. Now imagine the Warden killing you and you only recover 7 XP. 😥

[@outcast4087]

@@cmaej28 I don't need to get any xp from sculk, because I already have 150 levels gathered from enderman farm. I even have a regeneration beacon there for going full afk. Trust me, setting up an enderman xp farm is a lot easier and safer than going into deep dark and farming sculk there. Time consuming? Yes. Requires a lot of resources (primarily building blocks)? Yes. But it all will be worth the effort.

[@miraib1323]

Thank you

[@Eyecraftmc]

[@totallynotastro]

sculk and moss are the only block that actually spreads for sculk you need to kill a mob near a sculk catylist for moss you just gotta bonemeal it and boom it spreads

[@kirshunreal9333]

When i start a new world i found the ancient city so quickly but i decided to raid it later but when i found this biome in a different mountain, there were mobs also spawning which was very annoying first but there was so much water elevators making me to use it. So i just activate the shriekers and summon the warden and its so funny to see the mobs getting killed by the warden while me enjoying it from the water elevator 😂

[@muhammadnurakbar4188]

[@mjtgaming81]

[@ladyvampire4979]

[@viquoxa7844]

I fall asleep to your videos keep the work up I love them ❤👍

[@Andre-qo5ek]

question: does the Sculk Shrieker need a specific amount of room to spawn a warden? or needs to be in the deep dark biome or something? i made a sculk pit to get sculk xp and shriekers spawn occasionally. i find that they do not summon wardens though. no matter how many times i activate them. i haven't picked them up or anything. other shriekers in the deep dark dark work... could it be becasue these shriekers are spawning in a forest? i brought a catalyst to a zombie spawner that is just a few blocks over form the deep dark. jsut wandering what everything knows about this.

[@raphaeld4313]

Press F3, point the shrieker, and you will notice on the right side of the screen that there is a variable "can_summon" that is set to false. If you check a naturally spawned shrieker, it will be set to true

[@sebastiansegura954]

I’ve had a ancient city spawn with abandoned mineshaft pretty but still on ground level

[@_Abjuranax_]

Does the Warden need the Sculk Blocks to summon in, or can it Spawn in normal blocks if all of the Sculk is removed? Since you can't move the Shrieker, you may be able to remove the Blocks around it, then build a working Warden Farm from that.

[@whatgoesup9857]

I’ve seen him spawn out of deep slate before

[@nobody5217]

They can only spawn near skulk shrieked when you make a voice near them. The Sculk Shrieker will alert you 2 times and it will summon the Warden on the 3rd time

[@george-emileadam3468]

Even if it spawns on deep slate the farm could still work with water and trap doors I guess

[@x.0_o.x]

I think they can spawn on anything except glass blocks? Or non fully filled blocks? I don't know if it's true but I heard that a long time ago during the early days of the development of the deep dark in 1.19

[@x.0_o.x]

I can't remember much so anyone correct me if I'm wrong..

[@jakemiller4472]

Is there a limit to how far the skulk spreads from the catalyst? I know it will only collect the xp within a certain block range, but will the skulk spread past that?

[@Twst3628]

Yes It can spread past that! But the mob needs to be killed within the range

[@commander061]

So any sherikers you mine and place, or grow from the catalyst doesn't summon the warden except naturally spawned ones?

[@iobyreb-1412]

yes

[@afropunkx]

I have skulk on the ceiling of my bedroom. It looks like the night sky, or an LED version at least.

[@totallyfrozen]

Can you Silk Touch mine a Sulk Sensor and use it on the surface or in a mine?

[@raphaeld4313]

Only the shrieker loses its ability once you mine and replace it. Sensor is fine

[@stuffstuff2846]

Why do I always see mobs in that biom then

[@otdpo5216]

your minecraft videos is the BEST on youtude

[@IllagerRaids]

also placing, breaking, or walking on wool will not trigger the sensors

[@pandacat8162]

I have not tested but someone told that you can walk on carpet without sending signals to sensors

[@PianoRecords.]

Man, it sucks I hate it so much, I mean, I literally can't do straight mining without getting a warden spawned I'm every 4 four blocks of distance, and if he appears, you have to wait a entire minute.

[@raphaeld4313]

You can also switch to another activity than mining once in a while. If a warden spawns, it will take 40 minutes in total of being active on your world while doing something else for your warning to reset back to zero. And it takes 10 mins for it to go down one level

[@chitusminecraft]

Is it possible to destroy a group of shriekers with TNT? Will that generate 1 shriek alert or will they all alert at the same time?

[@2l0t0k8]

From what I have read, shriek alert can only be generated one at a time (aka, you can't generate another while one is ongoing). A TNT explosion should only generate a single alert.

[@thebatman.]

The new biomes will generate in areas of your world that you haven’t explored yet

[@TecHLL890]

They need to make killing the warden more rewarding like at least a nee sword or pieces of a sword that you can only get by killing the warden and it’s 1 more damage than a diamond sword or the same damage so instead of grinding for a neatherite sword you can grind for that sword it would make the warden more rewarding and you have to grt both sides of the hilt put them together in a crafting table to make the hilt 2 shards of the blade combine them to make the blade and the handle but make them kind rare drops like they don’t drop everytime so you gotta grind in the deep dark and there harder to enchant bc it’s easy to get exp in the deep dark like 2 more exp than normal to enchant and make it have an auto enchantment called deep light and it makes killing wardens more easy it would be really fun to grind for an overall a great addition to mincraft and the deep dark

Does anyone know the theory for this: if deepslate blocks including tiles and brick from ancient cities were able to be infected by sculk catalyst and create shriekers that can summon a warden. But if you go kill a mob in the same exact ancient city, the sculk only affects deepslate just regular deepslate not cobbled deepslate or bricks, they get turned into sculk veins instead and the sculk catalyst that don’t do anything. Trigger them as many times as you want. What happened to the sculk overtime? Was it so powerful and weakened over time?
