How to Survive and Harvest Wild Sculk Jaws

Surviving a Jaw Attack

When exploring the Deep Dark and Ancient Cities, watch your footing for naturally generating Sculk Jaws embedded in the floor. Walking over one causes it to bite and pull you downward, while smaller entities can be swallowed whole. Entities trapped inside a jaw suffer continuous Acid Etching damage and gradually build up the Sculkophobia status effect. If you are caught, immediately hold sneak and climb upward out of the block to break free before it pulls you back under.

Retrieving Items and Harvesting the Block

Sculk Jaws retain any loose items that fall onto them during exploration or combat. To collect these trapped items without destroying the block or losing your loot, break the Sculk Jaw using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Exercise extreme caution around jaws that hold Sculk Acid; this liquid instantly dissolves any dropped items that land inside and inflicts severe harm on any mob or player passing overhead.
