- covered with sculk;
- almost no mobs spawn here.
New Structure – Ancient City:
- generated only in the Deep Dark biome;
- looks like gloomy ruins;
- here you can find chests with valuable loot, including those with new unique enchantment.
New mob – Warden:
- lives in the Deep Dark biome;
- does not see the player, is guided only by signals from skalk-blocks and smell;
- even if you can’t see Warden, don’t make a noise when you’re in deep darkness, they can appear instantly;
- the more vibrations Warden hears, the more aggressive he becomes;
- if within a minute Wardencannot finds the player, he burrows underground.
New enchantment – Swift Sneak:
- allows you to sneak without slowing down;
- can only be applied to boots;
- the only source is chests in Ancient Cities.
New block – reinforced deepslate:
- does not generate anywhere except chests in Ancient cities;
