The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20.2!
This tutorial will cover your first visit to the Deep Dark, and your first encounters with both Sculk blocks and their creepy sentinel, The Warden.
First, we cover another scary mob encounter – Phantoms, which can swoop down and attack you when you’ve gone several nights without sleep. We explore quick strategies to deal with them and discuss one of the main uses of their Phantom Membrane drops – creating Slow Falling potions.
After that, we head back under the mountain to a Deep Dark biome, where we encounter Sculk Blocks, which can be harvested for xp; Sculk Vein, which spreads to blocks the Sculk cannot; Sculk Sensors, which detect and relay nearby vibrations; Sculk Catalysts, which absorb xp from entities that die nearby and use it to spread the sculk; and Sculk Shriekers, which summon the Warden.
Intentionally spawning the Warden, we observe it from a safe distance and discuss how it hunts for the player, navigating using sound and smell, and how to avoid being detected by sneaking or using wool blocks.
After that we try spreading the sculk on the surface, then briefly explore how Sculk Sensors and the new Calibrated Sculk Sensors are used in redstone circuits!

Not all know this but Phantom membrane is very useful, especially when you haven't acquired mending books. It can repair a broken elytra, just combine elytra and phantom membrane in the anvil. ❤😊
When watching this i saw in the subtitles when the shrieker went off I says "Warden approaches"
I would've just booked it our of there if it was me.
Something about the combination of the subject matter today and your voice really made me feel like I was watching a nature documentary lol. Great video! Would love to see you make some sort of fun contraption with skulk sensors if the opportunity presents itself. They seem really neat but I am terrified of anything Redstone lol
I think the Pillager sculk made a P for Pixlriffs!
Are you going to be talking about and addressing the change with the Wiki and the issues with Fandom?
Removing the sculk from blocks is also a good way to expose rare ores, such as diamonds in your world. Also, the insomnia counter is cumulative. So if you do not sleep nor expose yourself to the night sky by staying underground, the longer you stay, the more the insomnia counter adds up. This means that if you do not sleep for a 1000 days underground, when you do finally go out at night, the phantoms will literally darken the skies. It could be a challenge to see how many phantoms that you can kill in one night. Enjoy.
I really appreciate that once he started descending into the mountain into the sculk area, the song “So Below” starts playing. Very fitting.
The insomnia timer isn't impossible to check, but you won't see it unless you look for it. If you check your statistics in the game menu you can find "time since last rest", which will allow phantoms to spawn if it's over 1 hour.
Cubfan called. He said "embrace the skulk!".
There's an important misconception about Phantoms that I think needs to be cleared up.
Although it's a bit less relevant now that Mojang added a rule that lets you change how many players need to sleep in order for nights to skip, I still think it's important to know.
If you are in a multiplayer game, and one of your fellow players is far away from home mining or something, and can't/won't sleep in a bed, skipping the night isn't mandatory in order to reset your Phantom's insomnia counter.
merely lying down in a bed for one game tick is enough, even if you hit the cancel button right away.
And if you play in a multiplayer game with the rule set so that only one player needs to sleep to skip the night, and you play for hours without ever lying down in a bed because someone else was sleeping the night away for you, you STILL build up insomnia, even though the night was skipped. It's just that it will only take effect when you are above ground on a night that nobody slept, and will get swarmed by a huge wave of Phantoms when that happens.
In other words, every player have their own insomnia counter. And every one of them only resets independently when that player sleeps, and will still build up if they don't.
Resetting the insomnia counter and skipping the night to stop new Phantoms spawns for that night are two separate processes that are both triggered by the same action of someone sleeping in a bed.
It's a good thing they thought about the sensors only detecting player actions. I was in an ancient city recently and 4 bats were flying around triggering the sensors like crazy
Once again, a super informative video, presented in a truly engaging way. I find that I know most of the things you talk about but every video has at least one bit of info that I store away for future use. The warden is something that I haven't really done much with. Looking forward to a future video about the ancient city and how to loot it "safely"/safer.
❤ watching phantoms get beat up is always a good time. I wanted them at first but… Seriously.
Why did this seem like a nature document "Here we see the warden in it's natural environment" 😆
On every ending your name is always pixlrifs
How did you know I got my first sneak 100 achievement yesterday
27:34 gotta love the new minecraft wiki plug
FYI the Silence armor trim with gold or diamond looks AMAZING on netherite.
You can kill the warden by using a lot of iron golems
Have you tried that?
You didn't mention silencing the skulk sensor using water.
A less risky way of being able to see in the deep dark is to take night vision potions, also useful for raiding ancient cities. Just don’t drink them next to a sculk sensor and you’ll be fine!
Reduces the need to put torches down and risk accidentally triggering a sensor
Thank you for linking to the wiki's new home freed of the Fandom cruft!
21:10 note here; it’s not that it needs to have an air block above it, as sculk can spread up walls. In order to convert something to sculk it must have a side where sculk vein can be placed. Sculk vein will not override other blocks, so that flower did stop it spreading. But if a sculk vein was to generate on the side or bottom of that grass block it would still be converted to sculk even if the top is covered. I’ve been working on an endermen-based sculk farm recently (it’s a nightmare) so I’ve had to figure out a lot of weird things with the sculk and it’s such a pain trying to get it to not convert the soul soil in my basalt generators to sculk
Does phantom membrane no longer mend elytra?🤔
they should add a wallpaper block that functions like glow lichen or skulk vein for people that want an indoor colour to be different from the outside block without making it 2 thick
What I find interesting is that Phantom Membrane can be used to repair an elytra. Since only similar materials can repair an item, that begs the question : What is an elytra made from?
Rain + Potion of slow falling+ riptide trident= poor mans flying.
And before we’re going too much further, I will note that I’ve brought two… arrows sticking out of my head 😂
That was so much fun ❤❤❤
i tried to sneak past the shriekers, but my cheeks are dummy thick and their claps alerted the warden. i'm sorry. this just popped up in my head while watching this episode
