Aquatic Sculk Biome in Minecraft!

Ooh shiny the glow squid are magnificent creatures aren’t they wait a minute i’m forgetting something but i just can’t seem to oh right well anyways hello everyone and welcome my name is system z and today we’ve created a new biome exclusively for the glow squid in minecraft’s caves and cliffs

Update so that being said welcome to the lumen biome if you enjoy the video consider subscribing or face the wrath of the glow squids hypnosis hello everyone and welcome to yet again another video my name of course is system z and today i am incredibly excited for what we have created

My team and i have made a new biome for the glow squid in case you missed it i made a video all about oh goodness he’s he’s kind of wanting to be a land runner isn’t he so i have created multiple videos about the beautiful glowing cephalopod known

As the glow squid and in one of those videos i brought multiple new ideas to the table like for example throwable glowable ink sacs that actually put out a light source but what i didn’t realize was that we could create a new biome specifically for the glow squid

All together so that being said my friends let me introduce you to the lumen biome let’s get started well my friends i say it’s time we jump right into the water and get ourselves going this is the lumen biome a new biome designed entirely from scratch

By my team and as you can see we are currently in an underwater river canal which is how you would actually find what you are about to witness this upcoming is the lumen cavern a new biome dedicated exclusively to the glow squid now i’m underwater okay there we go sorry about that

Welcome to the lumen cavern cavern cat yeah we can do that via editing i really don’t have to repeat myself i don’t need air i’ll be fine i’ll be fine i need it all right sorry about that as you can see most of this biome is well simply put glowing plant life

And crystals but we’ll get to that here momentarily we’ve even got a new mob that we’ll take a look at here momentarily and it’s not the glow squid which i am now hypnotized but that’s okay this biome is so beautiful in fact that i needed to make a background track

For it that’s right i made music for this biome let’s go ahead and set the tone shall we let’s try that again ah just as the biome was intended to be experienced as you could see there are all sorts of amazing things to look at in this biome

And we’ll get to all the different blocks here at the end but one very important key feature to look at is the lumen bud which as you can see grows on the ceiling it can also grow essentially on any side of a block but what it does is actually

Puts out the particles that you see all around us and i absolutely love them i think they are designed very well they really bring life to this biome and make it feel very luminescent which is where it gets its name the lumen biome but i know what you’re thinking

What about this new mob that you’re telling us about well let me get some air first oh goodness okay there we go you know a little clumsy i’m sorry about that okay so this new mob is actually known as the lumen beetle and i absolutely love the idea of more

Bug type mobs in minecraft we have the bee currently and the bat which isn’t even a bug and it’s really useless so definitely more flying creatures would be amazing but the lumen beetle is one of my favorites and the reason why is they actually glow as you can see here they have an

Emissive texture set which absolutely looks amazing but it doesn’t in there they are attracted to light and they are actually very defensive if we hit the guy you could see that we actually get nausea and even slowness and they even put out particles in the process just look at them aren’t

They so magnificent i actually really love the idea of them having dynamic lighting as well meaning anywhere they go they actually leave a little bit of a trail of light around them but unfortunately in minecraft that is something we really don’t have so it’s very likely that we would really never

See that now just to kind of get a better glimpse of that hypnosis effect there i love the idea of nausea when you hit them it’s just their way of being defensive but there’s actually something really cool about the lumen beetle and that is that if you hold a light source

They’ll actually be attracted to it so they are attracted to essentially all light sources whereas the warden is attracted to sound and you could probably see where i’m going with this but i love the idea that you can’t actually tame a lumen beetle but you can have them follow you

So if you manage to find one and bring it all the way to the deep dark you can actually use it to scare away the warden which i know that might sound overpowered but keep in mind you have to actually walk with them and have them follow you because you can’t tame them

And essentially by having them do so they would scare off the warden this would be a really fun way to actually protect yourself and build up a sense of defense and would give the lumen beetle kind of a mechanic that we really don’t have otherwise

Plus i mean how amazing is it to just have a whole bunch of lumen beetles flying around this is just awesome i am the lumen king and this is my army also regarding the lumen beetle let me know what you think they could actually drop because as of right now they really

Don’t have any item drop but still how fun is it to get nausea and slowness you know i never thought i would say that but let me know what your thoughts are on everything in this biome and what blocks you think should be added and what you think should maybe be removed

Now i’m sure by now you are probably pretty curious about some of the blocks that we’ve got hidden all over the place surely you can kind of put things together these are the glowing vines and of course we’ve got the glowing kelp but there’s also new coral blocks which

As you can see here look just like this and they actually go really well with blocks like prismarine i’m one for blocks anytime that we can get them in minecraft i know sometimes it’s weird to add them if they don’t really have any particular use but more than anything they just bring

Atmosphere to an area and like i said they go well with prismarine so these would be a great way to decorate say an ocean monument as an example and they also put out light which is something that i think we definitely need more of but there’s actually a really unique

Block that i’m going to leave to you to decipher exactly what you think this could bring to the game my friends this is a luminite crystal a very rare crystal seeing as you can only find it in this biome which is pretty rare on its own you can see that they actually shift

Colors and they are the only thing in this biome that do so i think they are amazing i think they’re really cool i just don’t know exactly how they could be used simply put you could use them maybe in brewing to create some sort of potion

Perhaps you could use them to make some very cool glowing items or even use them to make luminite armor which i think sounds really cool maybe that could be the one and only source of armor in minecraft that could glow well my friends that is going to do it for the

Lumen cavern which as i’ve said is the exact biome for the glow squid a lot of people were upset when the glow squid won the vote because simply put they did not think it could bring a lot of cool content into minecraft and i’ll admit i didn’t vote for the

Glow squid either but as you can see there are a lot of really cool possibilities now i actually do plan on releasing this as a mod very very far down in the future once we actually have 1.17 as an additional pack to the update but that being said if you haven’t already

Make sure to check out my glow squid ideas video where i talked about throwable glowing ink sacks and a whole lot more it’s the perfect companion to this video you can click the icon in the top right corner now to see that i mean come on why wouldn’t you

Want something as amazing as throwable ink sacks just look at this and honestly in this biome this would be really cool as well if it just generated like this i also love the idea of a fish that glows but i really don’t know how that would look especially considering there’s already

So many glowing things to look at but still just imagine a tropical fish pet that actually glows that would be really cool you know what else would be cool air i need air oh there we go too many times i keep doing that all right my friends that is going to do it
