Overview
Sculk Sensor is a redstone component in the Redstone category of Minecraft, obtained through mining and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Sculk Sensor.
As a redstone component, Sculk Sensor is wired into contraptions and circuits; its behaviour is what gives builders the logic and timing to automate farms, doors, and machines. The game rates Sculk Sensor at 1.5 hardness. An explosion meets the same 1.5, so Sculk Sensor is no safer against TNT than against a tool. A hoe is the right tool for Sculk Sensor, and any tier of it collects the block. Sculk Sensor gives off light level 1 on its own. Generated chests only ever hold Sculk Sensor in one place: ancient city chests (about 24%, 1 to 3 at a time).
How to Obtain
- Mining
- Natural generation
Notes
Cannot be crafted. Only drops itself when mined with a Silk Touch tool. Triggers wardens via shrieking when nearby.

How many Sculk Sensor can you stack?

Where do you find Sculk Sensor in chests?
Sculk Sensor is chest loot in exactly one place: ancient city chests (about 24%, 1 to 3 at a time). No other generated chest in the game lists it, so that structure is the only place worth searching.
