About this project
What does Sculk Borne add?
Sculk was always lacking in minecraft, desipite the warden it felt like a lifeform thats only goal was to kill and consume sat patiently for hundreds of years making nearly zero progress, it turns out that the Sculk Catalyst was just the beginning.

Sculk Borne Adds a Invasive Hostile brother of the ordinary sculk, It's only goal is spreading and getting it's reach as far as possible so it can feed, It infects blocks and consumes the land dynamically with a mesh generator and visual infection so you can watch it progress overtime.
The demonstration aboves shows what it will do overtime.
Features:
Almost every single vine, vein and trapped mob in the sculk can be interacted with or killed. So bring a hoe and a sword, and bring a torch afterall the sculk hates light.
The Sculk learns areas of interest where it gets kills mass or food and will prioritize placing traps or veins to grab and consume anything that gets close, so trying the same path to the sculk while trying to kill it again and again will only make that path harder to go to overtime, and instead leave other areas weaker.
Sculk once developed enough will place vents far away from it's origin point and allow infected to travel between vents and eventually let different sculk hearts meet up to form a overmind, a larger threat but not unkillable.
Sculk infection can affect you negatively never to the point of death but it's recommended not to go coughing on your healthy animals while sick.
Sculkborn Isn't nessesarly a full fledged infection mod, It's a lite-infection mod, and configurable through the difficulty in the config, almost all features can be toggled on or off if you don't like it or want it to be more or less balanced.
Inspired by various other mods or media like Meld from doors, The flood, Necromorphs, and more.
Have fun, Don't end up like this guy:
