Sculk Evolution

## Umbra Vault The Umbra Vault is a new vault variant that, when opened with a Warden Key (found in Ancient City chests), will dispense a larger amount of loot compared to regular Vaults, and can be reopened as often as possible. Whenever it is opened however, it will summon a Warden nearby (disabled on peaceful, or when the warden spawning gamerule is disabled).

## Ancient Altar Ancient Altars are a new miniature structure found in the Deep Dark. They are relatively small, but they're the only place you will be able to find Umbra Vaults, which will be directly in the middle of the structure.

## Bladed Hook The Bladed Hook is a decorational block found in Umbra Vaults. It behaves similarly to lanterns, being able to place them on floors and ceilings. They pair especially well with chains.

## Sickle The Sickle is a new weapon crafted using a Bladed Hook, a Bone, and an Echo Shard. The sickle has the same stats as an iron hoe and has a sweeping attack. What makes the Sickle unique though is its "combo system". Basically, when you hit a living mob, the sickle gains 1 attack damage. It caps out at 10 attack damage, and every 3 attacks will cause sculk to grow on the blade until the damage cap is reached. When the user takes damage however, the sculk dissipates and the attack damage is reset. When the Sickle is on cooldown, its bonus attack damage is reduced by 1/4.

## Sickle Enchantments Echo Chamber: Only has 1 level, and can only be found in Umbra Vaults. Holding down right click while the sickle has sculk on it will charge and release a sonic boom, damaging the sickle and resetting its damage. The sonic boom shares attack damage with the sickle, and increases in range but also cooldown and durability loss the more sculk is on the blade when used.

Soul Lunge: Only has 1 level, and can only be found in Umbra Vaults. Right-clicking while the sickle has sculk on it will cause the user to dash, reducing the sickles damage by 3. The dash deals no damage.

Hemostasis: Only has 1 level, and can only be found in Umbra Vaults. When right-clicking while the sickle has sculk, you will heal 4 health and reduce the sickles damage by 3.

Repulse: Only has 1 level, and can only be found in Umbra Vaults. It is compatable with the other Sickle enchantments. It retains a large amount of sculk when hit, at the cost of a cooldown. It also buffs Echo Chamber, allowing it to retain sculk, at the cost of a longer cooldown.

## Calibrated Sculk Catalyst + Echomites The Calibrated Sculk Catalyst is crafted with a Sculk Catalyst, 3 Amethyst Shards, and 1 Echo Shard. Instead of spreading sculk when a mob dies in an 8 block radius, it will instead slowly grow an Echo Cluster on top of itself, growing by 1 level every time a mob is slain. If the Echo Cluster is fully grown when a mob is slain, it will instead spawn an Echomite, a slightly slower and tankier Silverfish/Endermite variant that is able to disable shields! Killing an Echomite still counts as killing a mob, so another may spawn in its place if you aren't careful!

## Echo Arrows Echo Arrows are relatively simple. You get 2 Echo Arrows by surrounding a singular arrow with 4 Echo Shards. They dont do any extra damage, but any mobs near the one hit with an Echo Arrow will be hit with a weak sonic boom! Unlike Echo Chamber, the sonic boom's damage does not scale with the arrow or weapon, and will always deal 5 damage.

## Sculk Resonator The Sculk Resonator is a new redstone block made with 1 Sculk Sensor, 5 Amethyst Shards, and 1 Echo Shard. It is essentially a Sculk Sensor variant that can ONLY pick up resonance vibrations (which are vibrations caused by an amethyst block next to a sculk sensor). It has the same 30 tick cooldown as the basic Sculk Sensor, but with the 16 block range of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor.
