Along with the sculk sensors, two new sculk blocks will be added to the game with the 1.19 update. Sculk catalysts and sculk shriekers can be found in deep dark caves. The sculk catalyst is responsible for the sculk growth seen in the cave biome.

When a mob dies close to it, sculk grows on blocks on which the mob died. Sculk shrieker is the most unique sculk block that makes a shrieking sound. When activated too many times, the warden is summoned because of its sound.

A new variant of the swamp will also be added, called the mangrove swamp. Minecrafters can guess from its name that it will be a biome full of mangrove trees. Mud blocks will get generated there as well.
