Tutorial:Sculk farmingShare article feedback

Sculk farming is a method of farming XP and/or sculk growth blocks for decoration by using the sculk catalyst block. Since mobs normally only drop XP when killed by a player, and sculk blocks drop XP when mined, this can also be used for bulk XP storage.

A few key points

• As stated before, mobs only drop XP if killed by a player or tamed wolf, but if a mob dies near a sculk catalyst, regardless of how it dies, the catalyst will always produce sculk blocks, which can then be mined for XP.
• Mobs will still drop their loot but not their XP. The amount the growth spreads depends on the amount of XP the mob is meant to drop.
• When a mob that drops about the same XP as a zombie or a skeleton dies near enough to a sculk catalyst, the growth mainly focuses on a 3×3 area. This can be helpful for you to know how big you want your platform to be.

Components of a sculk farm

• A mob farm which you can hook it up to
• A killing system and sculk producing system
• A bulk sculk storage system
• A reasonable AFK area for the player
• Optionally a collection system if you want the drops of the farm as well as the XP
