How to Get a Sculk Vein
Found in Deep Dark Biomes
Sculk Veins can be found naturally generating in Deep Dark Biomes and Ancient Cities. They are often found around non-Sculk blocks and are quite common so they won't be difficult to find.
Generates When a Mob Dies Near a Sculk Catalyst
If any Mob that drops XP dies within a 7 block radius of a Sculk Catalyst, Sculk Veins will instantly form around the area they died in, along with a Sculk block.
Sculk Veins Can Cover All Blocks
Unlike Sculk blocks, which can only replace a block if it's a Dirt or Stone variant, Sculk Veins can cover any kind of block.
How to Use a Sculk Vein
Decorative Building Block
Currently, Sculk Veins have no use other than to place them on the sides of a block for decoration. This may change in future updates.
