The Sculking/Sculkexpansion 2
by FireStrike21
The Sculking/Sculkexpansion 2 changes how sculk spreads and what it does, with new blocks and mobs added to the Deep Dark theme of the vanilla game.
What it does
Sculk in this mod spreads through the world and takes over nearby blocks over time, so a patch that is left alone grows into a larger area. The author describes a spreading mechanic that works across the world and a set of full-infection effects, and states that sculk otherwise stays centered on its own blocks. New entity models and textures are included, with the author crediting Lord Shadow IV for them.
The mod is a remake of an earlier Sculk Expansion, rebuilt from scratch with many features that differ from the original. The author lists credit for the music disc songs to T en M. Sculk Phases do not do anything yet, according to the author, beyond tracking how many things sculk has killed. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge and needs to be installed on the client and the server.
Key features
Sculk spreading mechanic

Full infection

New entity models
Mobs added by the mod use custom models and textures, with credit given to Lord Shadow IV for the entity work.
Music disc songs
The mod adds music disc songs, with credit to T en M for the music.
