Silk Touch hoe, Swiftness and night vision potions, Wool for silent walking.

Is mining sculk in the deep dark risky on DonutSMP?

Risk is medium. Sculk needs Silk Touch to drop itself (a hoe breaks it instantly). Deep dark biomes below Y 0 and ancient cities are carpeted in it. Sneak, break shriekers first or from a distance, and leave before the warden spawns. Sculk has a standing buy order plus large AH volume; sculk catalysts, sensors and shriekers from the same trip sell for far more each.

Mining sculk in the deep dark is a DonutSMP method with a real buy order and big auction house volume. Sculk only drops itself with Silk Touch, and a Silk Touch hoe breaks it instantly. Deep dark biomes and ancient cities are carpeted in it. Sneak, deal with shriekers first, and leave before the warden shows up. Sculk catalysts, sensors and shriekers from the same trip each sell for far more than plain sculk.
