Sculk Sensor Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a sculk sensor with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a sculk sensor is a new item that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I and then expanded on in the Wild Update. It can be found in the Ancient City in the Deep Dark biome.

A sculk sensor detects vibration within an 8 block radius and emits a redstone signal when activated by the detected vibrations. The strength of the redstone signal is determined by how close the vibration is to the sculk sensor. The closer the vibration, the stronger the redstone signal (that will be emitted by the sculk sensor).

A sculk sensor is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.
