What it does

The mod adds two blocks that cannot be obtained in survival mode and are only available from the creative tab menu. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code published.

The author notes that the mod was incorporated into Enough Horror Mod, a related horror-themed project. Dead Sculk targets only Forge and only 1.20.1, and its single file is version 1.0, published on 2025-09-22.
