This mod gives Sculk a corruptive property that will temporarily drain your health.





If you have played any of the new Zelda games, you may notice that this is inspired by Gloom from Tears of the Kingdom:


Comparing the player getting damaged in Minecraft and TotK. The minecraft avatar is Hipposgrumm, the mod developer. If you see this mod uploaded anywhere that doesn't link back to/download directly from CurseForge, Modrinth, or PlanetMinecraft, please report it.


Players and mobs will take sculk damage if making
contact with sculk or if are attacked by any sculk-themed mobs (e.g.
the Warden). The only way to heal from the Corrosive Sculk effect is to
bathe in natural skylight; and don't try using Absorption hearts, it
won't help much.






For more prolonged periods of time in
the deep dark, it may be in your best interests to create a Potion of
Sculk Resistance. Sculk Resistance is brewed like any other potion by
using a Sculk Catalyst in an Awkward Potion, and grants temporary hearts
that can tank sculk damage which regenerate without the need for
sunlight.



Sculk Catalyst in Brewing Stand with Awkward Potions at the bottom.


Sculk Resistance has 3 tiers, each of which adds one resist heart per level, and can be obtained by adding glowstone.





If you're a builder who wants to use
Sculk in your palette, you can craft it together with wool to create
Woven Sculk: a variant of Sculk and Sculk Veins that appear identical to
their normal counterparts, but will not damage you, making them a
perfect building block for your next Warden Petting Zoo.



2 Sculk Blocks crossed with 2 Wool2 Sculk Veins crossed with 2 Wool Carpets to produce 5 Woven Sculk Veins; the most egregious recipe I could think of because I couldn't make it work nicely.

I feel like this would be super funny to combine with the Sculk Horde modpack because you could end up making your world completely uninhabitable

Sculk behaves similar to Gloom when you stand on it.
If you read the comment below you might have made that connection.
Or if you looked at the 3rd image.

Combine this with the gloom sculk texture pack, and it works perfectly.
Also, can you make this a data pack?

I don't really know how to make datapacks, but if you could find someone who can, they are welcome to do it (as long as they ask, but I can't really copyright the idea so idk).
