Dead Sculk Blocks
Dead Sculk Blocks
Dead Sculk blocks are the inactive variants of sculk blocks created when a Sculk Core is destroyed through Core Destruction. They are safe, non-functional versions of their active counterparts.

How They Form
Dead sculk blocks are created during Core Destruction. When a Sculk Core is destroyed, all active sculk blocks within the destruction radius are converted to their dead variants.
Info
Dead sculk blocks cannot spawn mobs, detect vibrations, or trigger any sculk mechanics. Areas converted to dead sculk are completely safe to explore.
Restoration
Dead sculk blocks can be restored to their active forms using a Sculk Ball. When thrown, the Sculk Ball converts dead blocks in a 3x3x3 area back to active sculk.
Warning
Restoring dead sculk blocks reactivates sculk mechanics in the area, including mob detection and shrieker triggers. Only restore blocks intentionally.
