Kaleidoscope Sculk
by Itnonamea
Kaleidoscope Sculk brings sculk-themed materials, food, status effects and weapons to Forge and NeoForge, drawn from the Warden's deep dark biome.
What it does
The mod covers the sculk ecosystem in full: base materials harvested from sculk, used in cooking, brewing and crafting, along with a chain of status effects and blocks.
Players who enter the deep dark get sculk-based gear and foods, including Soul Sails in three tiers that level up at 30, 60 and 100. Client and server both need the mod for it to work, so servers and every player install it together.
Installation targets Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The source code is public, and the mod is released under the BSD 3-Clause License, which makes it open source.
Key features
Sculk materials and crafting
Harvested sculk drops, including bone fragments, fungus, seeds, branches, dust and flesh, feed cooking, brewing and crafting recipes.
Sculk Dash and Sonic Wave
Sculk Dash grants movement and attack speed inside the Deep Dark biome and ends when the player leaves. Sonic Wave fires a sonic boom that deals less damage the farther it travels along a straight line.
Deepslate Stove and Cake
The Deepslate Cake has four bites, and the final bite is lethal.
Echo Crop and dishes
Echo Seeds grow only on a Sculk Catalyst and yield Sheer Purity Echo Seeds when mature. Dishes such as Sculk Stew and Sculk Chicken Stew are eaten directly or placed down, then consumed bite by bite.
