Sculk Silencer
by iamSnigur
Sculk Silencer, a server-side Deep Dark mod, adds a Silence Relic that lets tools break blocks near sculk sensors and wardens without setting them off.
What it does
A Silence Relic is the central item. It can be found in ancient city loot chests with a small chance, and it drops from a warden on death. Applied to a diamond or netherite pickaxe, axe, hoe or shovel through a Smithing Table with an echo shard, it creates an ancient tool. Those tools keep the strength of diamond or netherite tools and add an ability on top, and the relic is needed for every upgrade.
The mod is aimed at players who explore the Deep Dark on purpose, taking the risk of stepping through it for the loot. It is built for small groups of up to 9 players exploring the same area, and the terrain scanning it uses to find unexplored areas is the part that makes heavier demands on the server. Running several datapacks together, especially heavier ones, can push command execution limits. Server owners can adjust that limit with a game rule.
Sculk Silencer needs Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt on the server. Players connect without installing it. It is also published as a data pack. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source, with files for 26.1.2 from 2026-04-11.
