Better Sculk
by Hellession
Better Sculk, a Fabric mod, adds two new Sculk block tiers that spawn only where mobs die holding enough experience.
What it does
The mod's two new Sculk blocks replace the original Sculk block and Green Sculk in generated terrain, so their placement follows the existing world generation. Each tier is meant for farming valuable monsters: a mob that dies on one of them can drop experience, and the higher tier stores a larger amount of experience per block.
Spawning on these blocks is limited to mobs that would have dropped at least 10 or 20 experience, which keeps the farm aimed at higher-value monsters. Destroying the blocks yields 2 or 4 experience, and the Sculk Catalyst is generated by default. The blocks cannot be mined instantly without an enchanted hoe.
Better Sculk requires Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.3, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.3 as the latest file. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
