Another snapshot is going out, and this one introduces the sculk. They're a bit creepy, but don't let that put you off. Pick up some good vibrations!
New Features in 20w49a
- Added dripstone caves biome
- Added sculk sensors
Dripstone Caves biome
This biome doesn’t generate naturally yet since it is designed for the upcoming larger caves. However, if you want to see the biome in the current caves you can create a single-biome world with dripstone caves.
- Contains plenty of pointed dripstone on the floors, ceilings, and small pools of water.
- In some places, you’ll find larger stalagmites, stalactites, and columns built from dripstone blocks.
Sculk Sensors
- Introducing the bizarre, tendril-filled world of sculk – prepare for sculk sensors to creep you out with their unique ability to detect vibrations nearby.
- A vibration is anything that causes physical motion; if you are careful, there are some motions that are undetectable to sensors by sneaking.
- These sneak-friendly vibrations currently include walking, falling to the ground, or throwing/shooting projectiles.
- Sculk sensors will not listen to vibrations that are directly created by other sculk sources.
- When a vibration is detected, a signal is sent from the source location to the sensor at a speed of 1 game tick per block.
- Other vibrations cannot be detected by a sensor when a signal is already traveling to it.
- When the signal has arrived, the sensor will be activated for 40 game ticks (approximately 2 seconds).
- While activated, the sensor cannot detect other vibrations.
- Sculk sensors can detect vibrations in an 8 block radius around it.
- The efficient tool to mine sculk sensors is the hoe.
- They can be waterlogged.
Redstone Emission
- Sculk sensors emit a redstone signal when they are activated.
- The strength of the redstone signal is inversely proportional to the distance the vibration signal traveled.
- This means that the closer the vibration is, the stronger the Redstone signal is.
- The output is also scaled based on the sculk sensor’s radius, so it can reach the max redstone signal strength when the vibration is 0 distance away (directly on top of the sensor).
Vibration Frequencies
- Sculk sensors have a unique interaction with comparators.
- Each vibration in the game falls under a certain frequency value, and this value can be measured with a comparator.
- With the right contraption, this allows you to detect when a certain action has occurred nearby.
| Vibration Type | Frequency Value |
|---|---|
| Step | 1 |
| Flap | 2 |
| Swim | 3 |
| Elytra Free Fall | 4 |
| Hit Ground | 5 |

Wool Occlusion
- Wool has a special interaction with sculk sensors.
- If a wool block is in the way of a vibration source, the sensor will not be able to detect it.
Technical Tidbits
- Sculk sensors have a cooldown period of 1 tick after being placed or after deactivating.
- During this short cooldown period, it cannot detect vibrations. This is to prevent it from activating itself when a contraption it is powering is being unpowered. Feedback is welcome on this point!
Changes in 20w49a
- The fullness of a bundle now shows up regardless of whether advanced tooltips are on or off.
- Stalactites and stalagmites merge if the tips are next to each other unless you press shift while placing.
Technical Changes in 20w49a
- A new game event system has been implemented to support Sculk Sensors detecting vibrations.
- World height-related values are now exposed for customized worlds.
- Removed the max-build-height server setting.
- Added occludes_vibration_signals block tag. Anything in this tag will occlude vibrations, and inherits wool tag entries by default.
- New particle types: vibration and dust_color_transition
- A new game event system has been implemented to support Sculk Sensors detecting vibrations.
Game Events
This system has been developed to identify when certain in-world actions are happening in nearby chunks, particularly so the new sculk sensor can detect these events as vibrations.
The following is a list of the initial game events:

Tags
There are also game event tags that come with this and can be modified by data packs. They can be found under data/minecraft/tags/game_events.
vibrationsDetermines which game events are considered vibrations by the Sculk Sensor. Currently, all added game events are in this tag by default.ignore_vibrations_stepping_carefullyWhich game events should be ignored by the Sculk Sensor when the source of the event is sneaking.
The following game events are in ignore_vibrations_stepping_carefully by default:
minecraft:stepminecraft:hit_groundminecraft:projectile_shoot
