	When a [[Minecraft:player]] with no experience dies in range of a sculk catalyst, it still blooms and no sculk grows. If keep inventory is on, the player retains experience after dying. This prevents the sculk bloom from consuming the experience and growing sculk.<ref>{{bug\|MCPE-157884}}</ref>		When a [[Minecraft:player]] with no experience dies in range of a sculk catalyst, it still blooms and no sculk grows.

	A bloom occurs for the death of any living entity, and can even consume multiple entities at once. A sculk bloom cannot occur if the entity is not directly above a solid block or if the entity is below the sculk catalyst. A [[Minecraft:Tutorial:Sculk farming\|sculk farm]] can be made using [[Minecraft:Pointed Dripstone\|pointed dripstone]] as long as the sculk catalyst is on the same level as the [[Minecraft:Pointed Dripstone\|pointed dripstone]].
