The darkest, deepest corners of Minecraft are riddled with untold horrors that are waiting to be discovered by brave spelunkers: ancient threats lurking in the shadows, twisting speleothems that create otherworldly formations, and cute, creaking blocks that love to listen to your footsteps as you traverse the underground.
Wait... what?
Our first Bedrock beta of the year has arrived, containing two features from the upcoming Caves & Cliffs update: the dripstone block and the sculk sensor. While both are equally important features, the latter is a rather special one; an observant block that pays attention to its surroundings. Neat, I wish I could do that!
Not only can the sculk sensor detect vibrations up to eight blocks away – it can also emit a redstone signal that correlates to the distance of the sound it registers. Imagine all the things you could use it for! My own mind is devoid of imagination, please send ideas to my dirt block mailbox so I can envision it too!
