Questions about sculk sensor


Here you will find detailed answers to frequently asked questions about sculk sensor.

The skalk sensor was first introduced at Minecraft Live 2020. Later, the original texture of the acoustic sensor changed several times, as well as the animation of sound capture.

In build 20w49a version 1.17, the acoustic sensor was officially added to the game.

In assembly 20w51a, the sound of eating and walking on wool blocks, as well as the sound of throwing wool on the ground, is removed from the sound events that are detected by the sensor. When flooding, the rolling pin sensor also does not pick up the signal.

The following sound events have been added to the 21w05a assembly for the rolling pin sensor: the movement of the trolley, the ringing of the bell, the sound of any block change, the sound of liquid consumption, any interaction with the mob, putting on equipment, the sound of scissors, the roar of the destroyer, the sound of the appearance and killing of the entity, the sound of the shalker.

The acoustic sensor has a strength of 1.5 and can be destroyed even by hand. The hoe will destroy the sensor the fastest. When it is destroyed, 5 units of experience will fall out. If the rolling pin sensor is extracted using a tool enchanted with a "Silk Touch", then the sensor itself will fall out.

Any sounds in the game are reproduced by any movements or interaction with something. The acoustic sensor is able to catch and broadcast these sounds further. The exception is the sounds of walking, falling, throwing an object, if they are played by the player when squatting. The skalk sensors do not respond to each other's sounds.

The radius within which the rolling sensor can pick up sound is 8 blocks.

The skalk sensor is activated using a visualized sound wave. After that, it does not respond to other sounds for 2 seconds. Similarly, it will not react to any sounds immediately after installing it on the surface and after stopping work. This is done so that the sensor does not react to itself and to the termination of the device that it activated.

During the entire period of activity, the skalk sensor emits a signal, the strength of which is directly proportional to the distance that the sound wave has traveled from the signal source. The closer the sound source is, the stronger the signal emitted by the rolling sensor.

  • An inactive acoustic sensor emits level 1 light. When activated, the unit becomes lighter, but the illumination value does not change.
