Overtaking Minecraft with my own version of the Sculk

Making my own version of the Sculk (Minecraft 1.19)
Announced originally for Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update, the deep dark, sculk, sculk catalyst and warden were features that were delayed two times: one time for Minecraft 1.18 Caves and Cliffs update part 2, and another time during Minecraft Live 2021 where it was delayed to Minecraft 1.19 the Wild Update.
Because of these delays, I've decided to make my own version of it, that is both terrifying and hilarious to play with, with new features like sculk mobs and sculk players (like a sculk custom origin for Minecraft origins). You can also play as a sculk, which is very suited for hunting other Minecraft players, exhilarating!

[@sparrcity]

Idea for when you become a sculk infected: You gain more health the more mobs you infect (via killing them) it caps at normal player health and drains back to normal if you do not kill for a while. I have a feeling sculk likes to spread as much as possible, becoming stronger the more it spreads.

[@thebigredroo2693]

[@samuelkuhne1268]

Skulk origin? Ay ay?

[@tamnker8465]

I think that removing the “unable to hold items” and making it “get debuffs when not on sculk” would make this a great survival mod.

[@harbringerboredom2353]

Or more debuffs from bright light

[@kahiruo]

I recommend adding an effect named "sculk withering", it only happens when standing on a sculk blocks your health bar slowly turning into sculk and When your health bar is fully covered, you start taking damage (also the more your healt bar gets covered the slower you get)

[@harbringerboredom2353]

Or it will taking your max hp untill you become infected, or if effect wear of you will get hp back, so hardcore players could become sculks too, or it could just kill you if sculk wears out

[@welcometochiles6156]

A mix sort of: sculk withering happens when standing on sculk and would bring down your max HP. When fully covering your HP, it turns you to sculk. Milk or water bottles would reduce sculk withering.

[@tpd1864blake]

I think this could be improved if mobs infected by sculk attacked non-infected mobs regardless of their previous relationship, and if passive mobs also became hostile once infected

[@collin2097]

Honestly we need a "100" player version of this.

[@doctor4t]

Totally in my plans! Once I have a bigger audience I can start to organise those types of challenges

[@collin2097]

@@doctor4t Whilst a larger audience may be considered necessary, I am of the personal opinion, that a 100 player session of this is to be done... "Soon." Either way, I enjoy this concept a vast amount, however, for such a mod like this, it may be necessary for there to be "Counters" against the Skulk, perhaps there are to be enchantments to gain weaponry and armor made to combat the skulk, perhaps even special items that could mask the presence of the Player against the Skulk, perhaps feather falling or Leather boots could be modified to serve such a purpose.

@@aguyontheinternet8436 they probably meant the player features. The origins mod basically adds player classes which they can choose at the start of the game and the features the player has (not activating skulk sensors for example) would be a great addition as a custom class to that mod

[@TheDragonguy2000]

I would really play the ship out of this as an Origin addition. Please @doctor4t we need this!

[@aydengaming553]

I think it would be cool If the skulk catalyst was like a mini biome maker. Like imagine this. You place down a skulk catalyst, you go to sleep. You wake up. The floor is skulk, the walls are skulk, It's all skulk. You put on your boots and run outside. A dark blue, starry patterned land awaits you. Skulk trees that yield new wood, Skulk flowers and grass (as another person said) skulk lakes with dark water you can barely see through. Maybe even skulk caves with hardened skulk as a new ore. So many things, stemming from one singular, vulnerable source

[@MarxGen2408]

"The catalyst has the potential to gradually corrupt your entire world" So basically you gave the catalyst the power of a single Ebonstone/Crimstone.

[@Chimerathedragon]

I always love the idea of something just assimilating everything in a game even better when you can take part of either side

[@cjlite0210]

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of the Vampirism mod (except less skulking and more moody vampire romance dramas)

3:19 I think the problem with the sheep is (and mind you I don't know anything about how this game works) the wool is a separate model than the sheep, as in, the naked sheep model is always present, but simply covered by the wool model. (heck, if you stick your face in a sheep you can sometimes see the naked model underneath.) So the skulk thing only changes the model underneath, I think?

[@evilmurlock]

[@hunterman4488]

[@TheDragonguy2000]

[@duxtorm]

I absolutely love your attention to detail in everything you create! This is so gorgeously fleshed out!

[@trashcannot658]

I love this! It's like a zombie apocalypse. Imagine if the sculk mobs actively tried to get you to the sculk to infect you and get you to spread it.

[@sparrcity]

Another suggestion: Wool armor You are completely undetectable by sculk mobs unless you attack them

[@DestinyGalaxy43]

Or Wool packed armor which u can fuse wool with any type of armor

[@welcometochiles6156]

Feels a little like its taking away the point, not just from the mob but from the sculk in general. Swift Sneak already does this best without ruining the sculk entirely.

[@ParsureArts]

Maybe it makes it harder for the sensors to detect you? Like making the … detection radius(?) smaller

[@webaccount284]

it could also be leather armor doing that

[@sketanor]

downside could be trash durability

[@108.4TheBlumpkin]

My stomach grumbled and it sounded suspiciously similar to a Sculk sensor. I KNEW eating that sparkly black slime was a bad idea...

[@glitchywazhere.mp4795]

The way the skulk spreads in this video reminds me of the way the crimson or corruption in terraria spreads

[@thebigredroo2693]

an interesting feature would be to be able to drag other players and mobs into the scullk to be absorbed by it just imagine playing on a rpg sever with this installed and you are just passing through and suddenly a players emerge from the scullk under your feet and drags you down into the scullk to become one of them

Minus the player becoming Sculk. THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN AN OPTIONAL GAMEMODE. Infection Mode: Very small chance to spawn a Sculk Catalyst a few blocks underground that spreads out at a defined rate. Every 15-25 blocks the Sculk spreads, another Sculk Catalyst is created. This will continue indefinitely until every Sculk Catalyst is destroyed. I suppose the only downside would be that it would make the Deep Dark less impactful... so perhaps some GameRule where only once a player has entered the Deep Dark the Catalysts become "Awakened"

Gives off a good tainted biome feel, surface skulk that smothers the earth, introduces a passive threat that you might need to contain or opportunity for players to explore the idea. Dunno if the revive would work in vanilla but i think theres an interesting touch to it

[@BlueToadCentral]

4:35 light mode be like

[@itsjts4657]

It would be cool if the skulk only glowed in the dark/ at night as well as it could overtake trees/plants and you should try give all skulk mobs cool corrupt textures aswell as when the skulk mobs attack you, they infect you and you need a cure or else you will slowly convert to a skulk player, aswell as it would be cool if the catalysts spawned below 0 in the dark area and the longer your world goes on, the more time the catalyst has to go through all the cave systems until it reaches and begins infecting the surface which then makes it harder to exterminate and to the catalyst - then maybe giving way to a new armour OR a potion that gives you a invisibility to skulk creatures for a certain period of time allowing you to go into the skulk caves and destroy the catalyst?

It looks so cool. Reminds me of Thaumcraft's Taint but it's quite different and the fact that you can become skulked is so creative!

[@theblocknessmonster1999]

I think it'd be neat if overworld sculk catalysts could build "sculk towers" as they expand, so when a sculk catalyst converts a large area, it makes it easier to see where the center of the infection is, and adds a neat challenge to climb up to the top of the tower to fight the sculk! Also, for the vision of the sculk'd players, it could probably more accurately show the sculk's blindness if they had perpetual Blindness and got to apply the Glowing effect to any entity that makes sound. That way, they'd have more limited environmental awareness, but absolute, real-time awareness of other players and mobs. Also, for sculk shriekers, maybe they can give notifications to sculk'd players with a little button they can click in the message that sculks them directly near the shrieker, so that way, you can have the terrifying "OH NO" moment of triggering the shrieker and having a sculk'd player emerge straight out of the ground to get you from basically anywhere in the map!
