Sculk And Jaw
by Cheesecuter
Sculk And Jaw adds a sculk-based block family with new effects, a trap block that holds creatures, and changes to the Deep Dark's Ancient City structures.
What it does
The mod expands the sculk block family and adds a few new effects. Naturally generated Ancient City structures in the Deep Dark biome are reworked to be more dangerous, so exploring them calls for care. The Sculk Jaw is a trap block: a creature that steps on it or attacks it can be swallowed within seconds. A creature kept inside for too long takes the Acid Etching effect, and its damage grows with the levels of Sculkophobia it gains.
Storage use comes from the Sculk Jaw. Items dropped on top of it are held inside, and they can be recovered by breaking the block with Silk Touch, which is recommended. Filling a Sculk Jaw with Sculk Acid makes it more hostile, since the acid destroys items placed in its mouth and stops it from holding creatures that come near. The Sculk Aggregator stores experience from mobs killed nearby, and combining it with a Sculk Jaw suits a mob farm setup.
Sculk And Jaw is open source and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for the game versions 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11.
