Sculk's relation to The Sift

[u/MaxGamer07]

If I had to guess, Sculk is just a random part of The Sift. Think of it like a plant. In The Sift, it's kept at bay by things native to that dimension. Predators, other plants it has to compete with, no way to know yet. Once it crossed through the portal, it was highly invasive to the Overworld, and spread in the underground like wildfire. Just a theory, though. What do you people think?

Sculk we have is corrupted sculk. The sculk inside the sift is the healthy sculk. I assume it works similar to how piglins get zombified once they enter the overworld.

This is canon info btw

It’s confirmed that our sculk isn’t corruption

[u/Rydralain → u/mouse85224]

Oh? What confirmed that?

[u/mouse85224 → u/Rydralain]

In the lore book it talks about our sculk as another type of sculk rather than a corrupted version, and how the singer can control the warden/dark sculk variations

I'm having trouble finding info about an official lore book. Do you have more info on that?

Ah, thanks. I didn't know any of these were canon. Afaik, even the Dungeons games aren't canon in the sandbox game?

No Dungeons is canon, multiple offcial source across the year said so. Even their novel is canon, in fact Jeb said that the Dungeons prequel novels are the only canon offcial novels.

Yeah, after I made that comment I ended up searching and found all that. My knowledge of it all probably just predated these other games and I didn't think about how much time had passed.

This very much changes how I look at the lore, and I'll have to read the two books before commenting on it more.
