Sculk Shrieker

A sculk shrieker is a sculk block that will "shriek" if any player touches its top (even indirectly) or activates a nearby sculk sensor. Only players can trigger it.

Naturally-generated sculk shriekers also inflict Darkness and may summon a warden if triggered, but shriekers placed by players or sculk catalysts are completely inert and harmless.

A sculk shrieker can be mined with any tool, but hoes are the quickest. It drops itself only if mined with any tool enchanted with Silk Touch. If mined with a non-Silk Touch tool, it drops 5 experience instead. When a sculk shrieker is broken it loses the ability to summon wardens, even if mined with Silk Touch.
