- A sculk dimension has been theorized about often since the Ancient Cities were added in 1.19, but will this ever happen? Should it happen? If it did happen, would it be good? These are the important questions to ask.

What would you guys like to see in a sculk dimension? Do you NOT want one? Perhaps Minecraft has bigger things to worry about. Let me hear all about it in the comments!
You should pin this comment good sir
Aye thank you for reminding me!@@BANCLAMOFFICIAL

Should be the skulk and souls dimension were all the the dead's souls stay
In my opinion, a new dimension is next on the list for two reasons.
1. Mojang has yet to create their own dimension with it's own manipulated properties that can be game changing. Ex: Increased gravity (no elytra), no hunger, or a different stat that needs fulfillment.
2. An optional higher difficulty area. Currently the End/nether cannot fit this bill for most players who want something more challenging.
A Skulk dimension I feel is limiting. I fully expect skulk to be one of a few new biomes in the new dimension. I also think you will be digging up to the surface of this new dimension. Just some guesses.
i doubt that mojang would pursue another dimension when there are already a few dimensions that could and should be worked on. the overworld is pretty complete, the nether is acceptable but has about as much content as the overworld did in early versions, and the end flat out feels incomplete.
Unfortunately since Mojang has done it multiple times I don't doubt they'd add another half baked idea. But I entirely agree on the nether and end. they are only there and used for netherite, bastions and fortresses, Electra and the dragon.
To be fair Mojang did mention they are pretty content with Nether for now and they don't plan to touch it in a while.
On the other hand, above ground of Overworld could definitely get some love. Some structures (Jungle Temple) are absolutely boring and some biomes too (Desert). They could all definitely get some revamp before Mojang moves onto the End.
@@silentprotagonist3786 good point, though im so sure that they would update many structures. almost every structure has been untouched aside from a few small things like loot additions since they were released
I think Mojang should do a rework for armor trims and Netherite Upgrader, something more cheap and less tedious, like change the item with you upgrade to netherite that doesn't depend on structures or piglins and can be farmed, crafted, it can't be cloned and at least for trims they should remove that it is cloned with diamonds and don't make a craft with diamonds, just for a simple reason: Why the fuck would someone make a trim for a leather, gold or iron armor when is better to use it to make diamond armor and tools? The people will use it with diamond and netherite armor, doesn't make sense in survival making some of those with iron or leather, maybe someone will do that with gold armor when they go to the Nether to trade with piglins but otherwise its just useless to make trims for an armor that isn't of netherite, diamond or gold and with gold someone would barely use them, also Netherite Upgrader just allows lucky players in servers where are world borders or almost all the bastions were raided by players in a radius of 5000 blocks from the spawn point make a monopoly for trading NUs (assuming they want to trade it)
And personally an extremely cold biome for the Nether with a pyramid temple that is built with some ice-stones and has ghosts, I don't know the utility to the game but it is a great idea at least aesthetically that can be complemented with items that have utility
Also Mojang should do an end update that improves the boss fight, changes the spawn point because honestly the end cities made the impact of beating the Ender dragon something meh and made a lot of technical players if not all to consider they haven't started their survival until they have the elytra, also changing the spawn point of the end implies to make a rework of the elytra for obvious reasons, personally I think the elytra should be harder to find making end cities something as hard to find as bastions or harder, I also think the elytra should protect less than a leather armor (and with that a change in the aspect of it) and be crafteable with phantom membranes and some new items exclusive of the end,
And obviously an end update should include new biomes with more verticality were it's likely the player will spawn there and new items, and maybe new structures like a broken bridge to the main island
Maybe everyone will disagree with me with how to rework the elytra but it's a fact that it needs a rework and the spawn point and the boss fight need to be changed for making the main island of the end more important, I also think the ender dragon should have more life than the Warden and the main island shouldn't be modified because it would ruin some buildings of players, and obviously the ender dragon should have more attacks and it's egg a new utility (that is balanced)
Then a new dimension should include new mobs that aren't hostile like villagers but they can fight because it would be repetitive just hostile mobs in dimensions
Sorry for my bad English it isn't my native language 😁
I remember one idea a friend shared related to the ancient city portal that I really liked (as unlikely as it may be). What if the portal and it's activation was the equivalent of hardmode in terraria, where rather than traveling to a new dimension, activating it transforms the overworld itself (or rather a localized section of the overworld), unlocking a host of new progression and enemies to be found there?
Ooooo great idea
I think it would be cool if instead of losing health after being in the skulk dimension for too long, what happens is you become blind just like the warden. Perhaps the gasses in the skulk dimension are what make all the mobs blind. It would be cool too if instead of a black screen it was a sort of "feeling vision" which I never see in other games. You would be able to see a colorless, textureless vision of the blocks 1 block around you and also any light source (but blurry). Even better if the transition was a slow gradual loss of vision instead of an all or nothing after 10 minutes. The range decreasing at a constant rate, the colors slowly fading, and lastly the textures fading too. (metaphorically) then, you become the warden.
I’m all down for the blinding part. That’s a good use of the blindness effect.
Oooo good idea
I like the idea of us never being able to enter whatever world may be on the other side of these portals. Part of what makes eldritch horror work is our inability to see and fully understand it. A portal you cannot open is always scarier than a portal you call read a wiki detailing the exact contents of. If these portals are ever opened, I think it would be cooler to have something come out of them before destroying the portal behind it. Some new boss or something that we may regret bringing into our world if we aren't prepared to fight it. And, I think adding another hostile dimension when we already have the Nether would be redundant
Great video as always. The only thing I want from the skulk dimension is darkness. I want light to be the most valuable resource. Kind of like the depths from tears of the kingdom.
Or like don't starve lights out mode.
I definitely agree that the ancient city’s portal and skulk works incredibly well as a little piece of eldritch horror. This small piece of another world has infected and spread through the darkest reaches of our own, and it can just casually generate one of the most powerful mobs we have ever encountered to defend itself. That grim idea of what could be on the otherside is tantalizing but I would definitely at least prefer an end update first. The sculk works perfectly fine as is to build itself up and establish itself as a unique part of the world. I do think it’s one of the more likely candidates to be expanded and get a new dimension once they actually start considering new ones though. Considering how the sculk looks and acts I think the most interesting idea that you didn’t mention of what its world would be like is something like the deep sea minus the water: pitch black with marine snow of soul particles, the ground and all the life is just different versions of sculk, blindly trying to absorb souls as efficiently as possible. Features that interact and mess with xp could be cool to see. Like what about a small fishlike mob that’s normally peaceful but will go into a frenzy and attack the player when it senses xp nearby, or a repurposed sculk jaw block that could steal xp from a player it bites but will give it back when broken. A dangerous structure based on a hydrothermal vent could also be fun. Considering the games current 3 dimensions are all totally different from eachother, I feel like a sculk dimension would have to be the same, and this is the best I could come up with, although there are tons of great ways to take the idea. I honestly think one of sculks biggest strengths is that it’s so alien that there’s so much they could do to fill out the world it came from with it still making sense
I don’t think Mojang would add a giant portal structure just to not do anything with it, if they came out and said that there won’t be a sculk dimension, it would most likely create lots of backlash, and with everything that’s gone on with the mob vote and other stuff, it’s the last thing Mojang needs right now.
Oh and also, Mojang didn’t say there won’t be a new dimension, they just said they won’t add a new dimension until they’ve updated the already existing ones.
Branching tool tiers and closed off betas, are also things I think Mojang should pursue in some form. I do think the city center is a portal, but I don't think that anybody is meant to go in, rather, somethings meant to come out.
I think a sculk dimension would provide the opportunity for some really next-level lore and world building. That being said, I also don’t see it happening soon. I think what you said kind of leads me to conclude that a sculk dimension will remain a sort of “choose your own adventure” left up to interpretation type of feature. Maybe they don’t want to add it in part to preserve the possibility for players to fill in the gaps themselves
while I would like a deep dark dimension, we need to tackle a big problem it would have: why does the player want to go there? while dimensions like the nether have things like resources vital to certaib systems like brewimg amd fast travel, what will a sculk dimension bring that offers the idea that the player wants to come back again and again. what sort of content could it hold, and how much should it need for a good balance?The end also has this problem of lacking content, but in terms of reasons to come back we have some of the games most powerful items such as shulker boxes and elytras.
I say complete the end before giving us another dimension. It's a cool concept though
exactly my thouhts
the nether too. think about it, the nether parallels the overworld from early versions. its got a few biomes, some mobs and its pretty survivable. even nether only challenges have similar gameplay loops that early release minecraft had
One thing I like to imagine is that sculk is a kind of anti-life, not undead but something that flourishes in immobility and silence:
Since it grows from the souls and targets any thing that makes sound, it essentially assimilates any nearby life to total confinement or _imprisonment_ , only sending something out to act as a _warden_ for anything that walks by (audibly).
If it did originate from its own dimension, it makes sense that the “Otherside” would be left ambiguous as it could realistically be a completely lightless wasteland that would kill the player instantly with no practical way to survive it.
Kind of like stepping into something between an uninhabitable planet and purgatory.
The fantasy & eerie-loving side of me would be ECSTATIC for a skulk-themed dimension, though I think it would be done best if said dimension was a corrupted, ENTIRELY abandoned version of the Overworld. The only mobs that would reside here would be skulk-overridden mobs. There should be absolutely NO passive or even neutral mobs in this dimension. The generation can be similar to the Overworld but with skulk overtaking everything. All structures are abandoned and decrepit, except one entirely new structure seen nowhere else in the game: a massive, looming, infested building, the true origin of the skulk. I'm thinking something resembling a castle, cathedral, or labyrinth, but who knows. Maybe there could be a new skulk-themed blind boss, one above even the Warden in terms of strength and endurance. However, the boss can be easily confused and tricked, similar to how you can distract the Warden with projectiles to bide some time. I'm not too sure what kind of loot you could get from this dimension, it would be skulk-themed for sure. Maybe there could be an armor and weapon set uniquely for skulk-themed things; the armor set can make you more elusive while the weapons can destroy skulk-themed blocks (and mobs) in quick succession.
I think the best part about a potential skulk dimension is the fact of endless theorizing. We don't know what a skulk dimension would look like because it hasn't been added yet, and there's still the question of whether one will ever be added. I personally think a skulk dimension would fit the game's lore; the skulk had to come from SOMEWHERE, especially since it's entirely foreign and doesn't fit the regular Minecraft world at all.
Overall, great video! I haven't quite finished it yet since I wanted to put my own idea of a skulk dimension before hearing other ideas lol, but still! The videos are phenomenal for your channel size; I can see you really going places in the near future!
Edit: The bit about skulk being a cautionary tale of always wanting more is an incredibly profound and intriguing thought, even if Mojang never intended that like you said. I think this could be applied to canon Minecraft for sure! Pretty unique take too, I haven't really seen anyone bring that up on a meta scale lol
I really like the idea that while being in the skulk dimension, skulk will slowly begin to infect you, where it keeps lowering and lowering your maximum health, I've seen a few dimension mods do this, such as The Betweenlands, and usually how you counteract it would be consuming some kind of food, but I like the idea that certain gear/enchants could also help, personally I like to imagine the skulk dimension as being some kind of enclosed dimension like the nether, but being very different, full of strange eldritch life, and Minecraft modders have been able to make really interesting mobs with unique behaviours, I think It would really throw people off when exploring the dimension if the developers can replicate these interesting mob mechanics.
I love the Deep Dark... a LOT (I've made an entire data pack themed around it). That said, I honestly DON'T want a Deep Dark dimension. I don't think we need one. It feels cooler to me for the Sculk to have come through the portal, but we never get to see what's on the other side. It adds more mystery and intrigue, and makes the Deep Dark feel more special and unique (you summed it up pretty well in the video).
As others have no doubt mentioned already, we already have three dimensions with room for improvement. A fourth one likely wouldn't live up to the hype (there are mods that add a Sculk dimension after all, and they all feel somewhat lackluster to me, as they're lacking in meaningful content a lot of the time. If they tried to do that in vanilla it would end up feeling like The End, feeling unfinished).
Its also kind of a bit of a pet peeve of mine how people are CONSTANTLY talking about the Deep Dark Portal... Like give it a rest guys, we don't need to know what's on the other side.😅
I really like your stalker idea, it could be a cool counterpart to the warden and could maybe function differently than other mobs, with there only being one in existence at any time to make it feel more iconic. Maybe it could function similarly to a weeping angel where it only moves when you’re not looking at it, but looking at it could cause it to freeze for 1 or 2 minutes to give the player a chance to escape. Nice concept!
To be honest, while I find speculation interesting, it feels somewhat pointless to speculate about extra dimensions. It seems to me that Minecraft really needs to start fixing painpoints and other issues before making any sort of large change. Improving optimisation, fixing combat and inventory issues, improving enchanting, potions and beacons, fixing/improving mob AI, Updating The End dimension, all of these things that should be done first, better still most of them would create a much stronger foundation for any sort sculk dimension update.
As to the specifics of a Sculk update, if it was done, I would like to see a few things in particular. An inate aspect to the dimension that would encourage players to use the dimension (similar lines to the nether making overworld travel faster). It could also build on a combat update by provinding more stealth like mechanics and equipment. At the end of the day, any sculk update needs to be something that fits into the game with benfits in the overworld as well as a reason to go back.
I’ve actually made videos about plenty of issues I think Mojang should fix before adding anything like new dimensions. Hence why I say this likely won’t happen at least for a while
Yeah, and I have seen many of them - the point I was trying to make, sorry if I was not clear, is that if the other aspects of the game are updated, then there would be a fundamentally different foundation for a potential Sculk update. Thanks for your videos, they are both fun and thought provoking.@@TheGeekFactor_
Instead of having a new sculk dimension, I suppose the ideas could work just as well as a part of the deepest depths of the overworld. The entirety of the bottom of the world could resemble the deep dark and ancient cities would just be the top of the iceberg.
in my opinion i think the best way of going about adding a new dimension connected to the ancient city portals is to make it not skulk related but rather instead call it “the other side” and it’s an aether like dimension with peaceful sky islands and maybe a whole new steampunk like redstone tech tree you can discover while there or at least the resources for it!
We already have the deep dark and it’s perfect as is so i think making a whole dimension would be boring. now i know that begs the question “well how did the skulk come from the sky islands” and an interesting lore idea is maybe the inhabitants of “the other side” created the skulk to guard the portals so no humans can enter! I think going through a nightmare like biome to reach a dream like dimension would be awesome!
If they cam from sky island why would they operate best in the dark and and wardens are blind and only seem to protect when a intruder is near also they are in deep caves so why how would they come fro ma sky dimension assuming it has some sort of light sources. I think it's a interesting idea but for me I think they came from a dimension that lack light maybe even none which would make sense to me at least.
Also maybe it just me but I think they should add a grappling hook that can help cross gaps or hard to reach place
@@raemmelparker9012 in my version of the “lore” the deep dark didn’t come from the portal it was created to protect it and it went horribly wrong and so the portal is like a paradise of sky islands that no one wanted the player or anything else to reach
If you're right in your analysis, it's an excellent story explanation for why no more dimensions will be added.
From a gameplay perspective however, it's an aggravating tease at what could be out there.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember Mojang saying that they would not add another dimension UNTIL they are satisfied with the current ones, I can't remember where I heard that though.
I love how it went from “Minecraft needs branching endgame paths!” To a lovecraftian horror story about mankind getting destroyed by its own curiosity and urges to expand. Huh, just like the half life series!
I know I'm a month late, but I really like the idea of differing endgame armor sets, I think that the "combat and tinkering" update could bring some really interesting ideas for combat and build crafting, and I think endgame armor sets that involve upgrading diamond that have unique effects would be a really cool tool towards build crafting and situational armor usage even
like imagine if netherite had a set bonus that gave you fire resist for a few seconds when stepping into lava
and I like your end set idea that removes the damage for pearls
but you could also have like maybe an enchantment that enables a pearl AOE attack on teleport that you could only put on the end armor, and the higher tier enchantment and also the more armor pieces it's on the greater the effect
I think armor sets in the endgame that are more or less equal in power with different set bonus effects and as well enchantments that can compliment those effects, on both weapons and armor would make minecraft a very fun and engaging game especially for build crafting
and to tie this in with a skulk dimension, what if post ender dragon there were more dimensions and bosses and new enemies not unlike hardmode in terraria, and you started this sort of end game where now you're trying to keep these different influences like the end, the nether, and potentially this new skulk dimension from destroying your world, maybe there's a boss to kill for each dimension that stops the spread of the dimension
I have so many ideas for MC I just come up with them on the fly like I really think this game could be so much more than just a building sim, especially after playing terraria
9:51 as long, as this new dimension is not infecting overworld just open the portal.
I think, regardless of how you get to it, a new dimension should offer a new experience you can't get in existing dimensions. My ideas were either:
1. A more literal opposite of the overworld called the "under" (where there would be a ceiling above and a void below), would have "hooked" platforms, also would include a new mechanic/biome where players can walk on walls/ceilings
2. An infinitely generating structure (something akin to the backrooms, playing on more of that liminal horror vibe)
I thought it was cool idea for a piece of gear
The warden helmet
Putting it on makes you really strong, but it gives you the darkness effect
Once you put it on, you can’t take it off for 20 seconds or longer
I hope the portal is fast travel, like 10k least, would be fun if they randomly link up so players can build massive and large networks they can travel between
my take on the warden and the ancient city is that ancient people used the portal to seal something away, and then made the wardens to guard it, so it could never get out, hence the name "wardens". i think it's far more plausible that, if the portal is ever used, it won't be for us to go in, but instead for whatever's trapped in there to come out, perhaps leading to some sort of boss fight, or something like that.
i know that they wouldn't actually add him to the game, but until they do something with the portal, my headcanon is that herobrine is in there.
The sculk reminds me of the corruption from dead space. The sludge on the walls are the real organism and whatever it spawns is just an extension of the monster
Ive actually been creating multiple versions of what i think might lay beyond that portal... but for now i just need better builds.
I would LOVE to have this dimension! Surreal-lovecraftian world with comletely new materials and creatures! White and blue trees, or mushrooms, or corals, carnivore worm-plants and flying polyps that shoot Warden rays, maybe even some non-hostile tentacled creatures that slowly stride and hurt you when you get near (like berry bushes or magma blocks), the impossible labyrinth structures... Maybe it can use a mechanic that prevents yiu from building there, like all the placed blocks are turnning into skulk, or some completely new liquid...
And actually I don't see any problem with adding more dimensions - no everything must be progress based, not everything must have a function and a purpuse, aside from just discovering it (and finding new blocks to build).
I'm torn. Half of me wants a new dimension but the other half understands why Mojang won't add one.
I like the idea of misleading snapshots, making it seem like another vague update, then add it in the final update if they were to add the dimension
I feel like a good idea for a potential sculk dimension could be like the Upside Down from Stranger Things. A sort of opposite to the overworld with the exact same terrain generation as the overworld in your seed, the same structures, same landmarks, but everything's infected with sculk. Everything would naturally be very dark, there could be 'sculked' versions of normal monsters (Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Endermen, etc.) which would be more difficult versions of the overworld monsters. All the structures generated in the overworld would appear in the same place in the Sculk dimension but with harder mobs, new loot, and a decrepit look to it.
I always imagined the deep dark to take advantage of the new HUGE caves that were added, in which there would be not a single source of light, and it would all be skulk blocks, not just patches of them. Alas, the skulk blocks give xp when mined, and they are super easy to mine, so it would need rebalancing. I also like the idea that the portal would also take you to the Aether instead of a skulk, takes off from the idea of going to the depths to go to the sky. Kinda like you gotta get glowstone from the nether to build the Aether portal in the mod, and it creates this lore point that whoever lived in these ancient cities also had access to the Aether (and maybe that's why they had these technological (redstone) advancements displayed under the portal). But despite the original creator of the Aether mod working for Mojang I don't believe they would adopt this mod to the vanilla game; Such a shame.
Years ago they said that canonically when endermen teleport they go to a inbetween realm and that realm is where the endermites come from when endermen teleport they sometimes accidentally take endermites with them because they’re so small they hitch a ride I have a theory that the sculk is from this same in between realm and if mojang ever decides to add a new dimension it will be this in between realm
I think it should be added to the end as a biome or several even. Since it resembles something that would grow in that dimension.
I think it would be awesome if the skulk dimension was a perfect copy of the overworld, just skulkified. And as you make changes in the overworld they reflect in the skulk dimension. Like a future world that was overridden by skulk
Love the idea of a dimension that makes players think twice about how much control they have over their world. It would make for a really powerful "slap in the face" moment for those thinking their netherite armor and farms make them the world's "god."
The warden is a: warden. Its goal is to guard something. I would think that on the other side we could have some powerful creature that was locked away to keep the world safe. Maybe herobrine. Think about it for a sec… glowing eyes ( evolved due to constant darkness. And wardens act on noise and smell. Maybe he could generate some noise ( that’s why wardens could “counter” him? Just a silly idea, but I would love to see some sort of a boss, powerful creature that was locked away
Edit: I don’t think that new dimension should be very related to sculk tho
What if the skulk dimension ends up being what people thought the end was supposed to be in 2011, a corrupted skylands (aether like) dimension that the player can work to uncorrupt
Fist things first, Modders Do what Mojang Don't. Second, I think a Skulk dimension should have a low layer of normal blocks like deep underground, sort of like a hollow earth where normal (but different) mobs thrive. The surface should be like covered with Skulk overgrowth and mutated mobs and the area around the portal should be designed as if it was forcing itself through the portal. I also like the Stalking Creature idea perfect for that it should drop something good for slaying it though (like the warden should imo) anyway interesting concept we'll never officially see because Mojang are yellowbellies lol
I definitely love the idea of Mojang randomly shadow dropping features into updates without anyone knowing. They've done it a couple times before, but it would be AMAZING if they did that with a new dimension. As for them saying they won't be adding any new dimensions, game devs lie all the time about features they won't add in. If I had a nickel for every time game devs said they weren't gonna add certain features or dlc or whatever only for that new feature or dlc to be announced like a month later, I could probably buy Mojang and tell them to add another dimension lol. When it comes to a sculk dimension, I don't really have too many ideas or desires, I'll just be happy if they add a new dimension at all.
If a barren eldritch horror dimension comes from the ancient city portal, it’s gotta be called the Ether. We got the Nether, the counter mod, Aether; I mean it just works
I don't want a new dimension if it's going to be as empty and boring as the end
Great video as always. Mojang should consider doing an update on the portal in the ancient city. Feels like the just put it there as a place holder that they may or may not actually build upon. Personally I’d like the portals to link to other ancient cities (allowing for fast travel)
I don't think they would ever add a new dimension... And personally, I don't know if they should.
I toss it over in my mind occasionally like "What could they add?" Sure, there is the idea of a good dimension like we saw with the Aether mod... But would that really fit? Then there is, of course, the Skulk dimension... But I feel, similar to you but not exactly, Skulk is supposed to feel mysterious and adding the origin dimension spoils that mystery even if it is Post-End-Game content where you have to beat the Ender Dragon and do all this stuff in the end cities... And then FINALLY, you open up this portal.
But that's another thing... A new dimension would have no choice but to add a lot of gameplay to the game. It just has to in order to not feel lackluster. But they are likely hesitant to add a new boss-Another thing likely to never happen-And there is only so much that could be added. What don't we have? Guns and straight-up magic? Although, I can see a potential other path: better mobs. That's the only way I ever see them adding a new dimension is to just make an arena for mobs with mechanics we have never seen before. Buuut... Now they have trial arena things... So they might just add on to those until people grow bored of them.
Though, don't get me wrong, if we kept getting cool loot like the Trident or unique armor... That'd be pretty nice... It's just hard to imagine that from Mojang.
They should definitely add a skulk dimension, but not now. I think updating the end like in your other video is a key step to even thinking about adding a third dimension.
That being said, I do have some ideas abt the dimension. While the nether resembled a large, lava submerged cavern, and the end resembles floating islands, this new dimension could be composed of mostly smaller and rather claustrophobic tunnels, which can also be much larger at some points. Furthermore, specific unique biomes could be connected by this system of tunnels. Like they could have a swampy biome, a geothermal biome, idk. Also, just like how the overwoeld has a day and night phase, this dimension could have like a darkness phase (kinda influenced by dst nightmare cycles). When out of phase, it could be normal as it is, with visibility and ambience a bit similar to nether. However, once the darkness phase (pretty short) starts, the player will be periodically inflicted with darkness, alongside the atmosphere as a whole getting more moody and unnerving. Mob spawn rates could be increased too and whatnot
Love the production value in the intro, although I feel some narration may have benefitted it. Anyhow, onto what I feel a skulk dimension could be:
It would look similar to early versions of minecraft Alpha (1.0 perhaps), except the world is infected with skulk and it has a lot more trees. There would only be one dangerous mob there, The seekers. Seekers would function like a weaker warden, in that they hunt via sound, but they would have the strength and health of a zombie. They also lack the shreak ability, instead being able to climb like spiders. The main reason they are such a threat, is that they spawn in large quantities, and similar to skulk, can transmit sounds through each other. This would mean that any of them in an area would know where the last noise was. This would make killing them difficult as it would alert the others to your location. Now, the land itself would be desolate, as there is no food, and no mobs that drop food, so instead of there being a 'timer' of sorts, there is your hunger bar. You could bring as much, or as little food as you want, but its up to you. Now the height limit would be rather low, say 0-64. The stone layer would only take up about 30 blocks at the highest points. This height limit would not be a huge issue as people aren't meant to live in this dimension, as nothing can grow, even if you bring your own crops. Also lets just say animals can't go through the portal, that way people can't use them as a food source. Now, as there is skulk all around, your visibility would constantly be low, this would make finding one of the main reasons you would ever go there difficult. There would be broken down statues that resemble the warden, (maybe 10 blocks high for the largest one) that would contain one or two chests with very good loot. The only exclusive item in these chests, would be an enchantment book that grants you the ability to gain more xp when you kill a mob. (not a ton, but level three books would maybe be 20% more). Lastly, hidden in the stone layers, would be an incredibly rare ore (same rarity as netherite scraps). This ore when fused with diamond armor, gives the armor incredible durability and additional armor points. {To add more value to netherite armor, it would reduce damage received from fire.} Similarly, the tools would also receive a huge increase in durability. Although the sword would not grant you more damage, {That way netherite swords have a purpose}
Instead of animals being unable to go through, maybe they just convert into horrible skulk monsters if they do.
I like what you have said about some portals not meant to be open, however what about if they add something like a hardmode from terraria? instead of more biomes they could change some existing biomes or something and it would be pretty interasting.
mojang said they wont add a new dimension until they update the existing ones. I feel like sculk dimension should be like the upside down... pretty spooky
Personally, I would like to see the shadow realm added to minecraft
Mojang said that they won’t add new dimensions BEFORE they are done with the ones we have rn*
As if. With the amount of work they've put into the End recently (literally none) I'm not seeing that happen any time soon.
Even if they do add a new dimension I just hope they update the end first
I like the idea of the time limit and the stalker, so what if the stalker was the time limit, you could still keep it off of you, but only for so long before it eventually attacks, it would also just feel better for the player because they feel that although there is a time limit, they still have some level of control over it
one thing i have to say i feel like most ideas for a skulk dimension would fit better in the end instead of a brand new dimension like the alien/eldritch but thats just me
I would love to see this happen, but it's clear that it won't anytime soon, unless 1.21 is a surprise End update
Theory:
The End update comes with the Combat Snapshot changes.
1.9 was the previous combat update, and added End Cities. Probably not 1.21, but my prediction is it will come in the next five years.
@@john_titor8074 I think that they'll probably do it sooner and make it a full update, just the End
if a combat update is going to happen, 1.21 would be a perfect time, and it doesnt seem too unreasonable considering how much of the promised 1.21 features are nearly complete already
@@OnePoundBird And they've been experimenting with new combat snapshots very recently
everytime a new update gets anounced i will hope for it to be the one ...
A sculk dimension would be a terrible idea
If mojang adds a skulk dimension it should be kompletly dark and nulefy al lightsources. An the way you know what is arount you is with the sound mechanic used for skulk sensors. May be you have like a hat withe the warden ears or somthing so you can catch the Vibrations. I also think it should have a knew way of generating its Terrain, since evry demention since now has a unic way of terraingeneration. Maybe restrukt the horizontal genration and mak it generate in a tube in tobteh sky forever. Off cours the mobs sould ve horor theamd but i dint realy have any concreat ideas, since i hate horror.
Check out Sculk Depths (and go give feedback)
What about if this dimension could be only opened if player have defeated the ender dragon and wither plus guardian and maybe something from trial chambers and when u open it u will get a limited time to be there and collect stuff and when it closes it would not be possible to open again and make it extremely difficult. This way you still get the dimension with maybe some really good loot and blocks for builders but it closes and is too difficult and scary to keep open so it still plays with idea be careful what you wish for?
It wouldn't have to be a dimension right?
I'm i am infertile from eating scented candles
Please do
I just think skulk and the warden are underdeveloped and boring
I really rather then add a new dimension and none this philosophy crap or whatever, Mojang is in hot water enough as is with all their controversies though so maybe they should wsit before adding a whole new dimension
no
Mojang has never said they werent going to add a new dimension. They said they only wont do so until the other three have been properly updated. Since the Nether and the Overworld already have been updated, the only thing keeping a new dimension away ist the end.
