Head to the deepest depths of the world in the Deep Dark biome which is coming in the Minecraft 1.19 update. Discover the new blocks, items and mobs that make up the Deep Dark.
Take lots of torches when exploring this biome, as in the name it is very dark. Don't go unprepared, as the new Warden mob is much stronger than all other monsters.
Sculk Blocks
- Sculk: With an appearance of that similar to an ender eye, this new block only generates in the deep dark. They grow when a mob dies nearby and are animated, unlike many other blocks in the game. With the dark feel, it is a great block to harvest and take back to your builds.
- Sculk Catalyst: This block can emit particles when a mob dies nearby and then grow sculk blocks. If the end world had cakes, this block would be it. It has a light appearance towards the bottom half, with the ender eye look at the top.
- Sculk Shrieker: Be careful, as this block can shriek! It looks almost like a portal and will give the player the Darkness effect when activated. Remember to active it three times, so that the new Warden mob can appear from the ground.
- Sculk Vein: This is a tile block which appears on top of sculk blocks. You need to use a silk touch pickaxe to harvest this block, which could be used for decoration back home in your builds.
Ancient City
Found in the new deep dark biome, ancient cities contain chests and items ready to be looted. It is one of the few underground only structures is made up mostly of deepslate blocks. You will also find some of the new blocks such as the sculk sensor!

Warden
The new Warden mob is a much tougher monster than others in Minecraft. A zombie has 20 HP and can deal up to 4.5HP in Hard mode. Whereas the Warden has 500 HP and can do up to 30HP!
However, the Warden is blind and relies on sound to detect you which means it can be easier to evade than a normal monster. It emerges from the ground when spawned by sculk shriekers in the Deep Dark biome. It is the largest monster in the game, beating the Iron Golem.
