What is Sculk Shrieker in Minecraft?
A sculk shrieker is a dangerous block found in the deep dark that can summon the Warden. It looks like a block of sculk with four bony, horn like structures in the center. Its main purpose is to act as an alarm system for the deep dark. When a sculk shrieker receives a signal from a nearby sculk sensor, or if a player steps on it directly, it will let out a loud, soul shaking shriek. If it shrieks too many times, it will summon the terrifyingly powerful Warden. This makes it one of the most dangerous blocks in the game, and a key part of the challenge of exploring ancient cities.
How to get Sculk Shrieker in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get a sculk shrieker. The first way is to find it. Sculk shriekers generate naturally in the deep dark biome, especially within ancient cities. They are often found near sculk sensors. To collect the sculk shrieker block, you must mine it with a tool that has the Silk Touch enchantment. A Silk Touch hoe is the fastest tool. If you break it with a regular tool, it will just break and drop experience points. The second way is to grow one. If a mob dies near a sculk catalyst, there is a very small chance that the catalyst will grow a new sculk shrieker on a nearby sculk block.
How to use Sculk Shrieker in Minecraft
The main function of a sculk shrieker is to summon the Warden. If you trigger a naturally generated shrieker four times, the Warden will emerge from the ground. This is something you generally want to avoid, as the Warden is incredibly strong. You can prevent a shrieker from activating by sneaking past it or by breaking it. A shrieker that has been picked up with Silk Touch and placed by a player will still shriek when activated, but it will not be able to summon the Warden. This makes it a safe but very spooky decorative block. You can use it to create haunted houses or alarm systems that make a terrifying noise without the danger of summoning a boss.
