Buffed Sculk Catalysts Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does this mod change anything besides sculk catalyst XP drops?
Yes, the mod also increases sculk sensor XP drops to match the pre-1.19.1 pre-6 values. Both blocks now drop the higher XP amount that existed before the nerf.
What's the best way to farm sculk catalysts for XP?
Find the deep dark biome where sculk catalysts naturally generate, then mine them with any tool. Since the mod increases their XP output, you'll gain significantly more experience per block compared to vanilla.
Do I need a specific tool to mine sculk catalysts efficiently?
Sculk catalysts can be mined with any tool, but using a hoe mines them fastest. The XP drop remains the same regardless of which tool you use.
Will this mod affect my world if I remove it later?
Removing the mod won't delete or corrupt your sculk blocks, but any newly mined catalysts and sensors will revert to dropping the lower vanilla XP amounts.
Does the mod work with other sculk-related mods?
The mod should work alongside most other mods, but conflicts can occur if another mod also changes sculk XP drops. Check mod compatibility lists or test in your world first.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod can be installed on servers, but all players must have it installed on their client side for the XP changes to apply consistently.
Does mining sculk catalysts trigger the sculk catalyst's spreading ability?
No, mining a sculk catalyst simply breaks the block and drops XP—it doesn't activate the catalyst's sculk-spreading mechanic that occurs when nearby mobs die.
Are there any performance issues from farming sculk blocks with this mod?
The mod only changes XP values and shouldn't cause performance problems. Large-scale mining operations may lag depending on your hardware, but this is a vanilla limitation, not a mod issue.
Do sculk shriekers also get buffed XP drops?
No, the mod only affects sculk catalysts and sculk sensors. Shriekers and other sculk blocks retain their vanilla XP drops.
Is there a config file to adjust the XP values further?
The mod reverts sculk blocks to their original pre-nerf XP values and typically doesn't include additional configuration options, but check your mod folder for any config files that may have been generated.
