Spread The Sculk
by Frostbite9
Spread The Sculk adds a mechanic where a sculk block spreads across the ground around a mob killed while holding an enchanted weapon.
What it does
When a mob dies to a player holding an enchanted weapon, sculk blocks appear at the death point and cover nearby surfaces. The feature is part of a set of new sculk additions and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.3 for 26.1.2 as the latest file.
Built-in sculk rewards feeding it, and the mod extends that idea: a kill that spreads sculk grants significantly more experience than usual. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Disable Sculk XP is server-side only, published for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and is not open source; it turns off sculk experience rewards rather than adding spreading. Echoes is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server for 1.21.1, while Beneath The Void is client and server, All rights reserved, and targets 1.21.8 only.

What the author says
When you kill a mob while holding an enchanted weapon, Sculk blocks will instantly spread from the death point, covering the ground and nearby surfaces. Additionally, each kill grants you significantly more XP than usual — as if the Sculk itself is rewarding you for feeding it.
