History

Trivia

• "Sculk" is derived from the word "skulk," meaning "keep out of sight, typically with a sinister or cowardly motive".<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• During the prototype phase, sculk was much easier to trigger; simply stepping on it would make a lot of noise and attract the Minecraft:warden. This ended up being deemed unfair.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
