About
Sculky Bits adds a collection of sculk-themed blocks and creatures that make sculk itself a source of environmental hazards and spreading growth. Some blocks attack entities that step on or approach them: the Sculk Jaw bites from below, the Sculk Trap catches and bites, the camouflaged Sculk Lurker emerges to bite, and the directional Sculk Stabber and Sculk Absorber impale nearby entities; the Absorber also spreads sculk when it strikes. Other additions include the Sculk Lurer, which draws nearby mobs; the ceiling-mounted Sculk Feeler, which grabs and damages entities below; and Sculk Growth, which slows entities and gives them the Sculk effect when stood on. Sculk Nests activate when triggered by a Sculk Sensor and spawn Sculk Crawlers, spider-like creatures, while Sculk Saprophytes appear when sculk kills a living entity. The Sculk effect slows its target and increases damage dealt to it, then damages the target when the effect expires; Sculk Fluid also slows entities and applies the effect. The collection also includes Sculk Flesh, Sculk Bone Blocks, Sculk Ribs, and Sculk Bones as additional sculk-themed blocks, including decorative options. Custom blocks can generate naturally and spread from Sculk Catalysts, and game rules let players adjust whether sculk spreads, its spread chance, saprophyte counts, Lurer range, and Nest limits and range.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.7 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
