The redstone mechanisms in Minecraft have relied on visual and physical movement for years. But all that is about to change with the release of the Minecraft 1.19 update. This update brings a family of sculk blocks to the game, and one of them is the sculk sensor. This block is the informant for the Warden in Minecraft 1.19 but can also make your Redstone machines effective. That is, as long as you know how to use the sculk sensor in Minecraft. So let's not waste time and learn everything you need to know about the sculk sensor.

First, we'll go over the history and mechanics of the sculk sensor and jump right into how it works and its use with Redstone through the table below.

A skulk sensor is a skulk block and Redstone component that senses vibrations around it and emits Redstone signals. This block also sends signals to the Warden and reveals the source of the detected vibrations. It also lights up slightly after detecting the vibration and while emitting the signal.

As for the vibrations, the block picks up almost all movements and activities in the game within a radius of 9 blocks. But it doesn't detect the Warden, other skulk sensors and sneaky players. In addition, it ignores vibrations if there is a block of wool between the sensor and the vibration source.
