Deep Dark
Deep Dark — biome.
Obtaining
Natural generation
The deep dark is an underground biome built around sculk. Its placed features include amethyst geodes, sculk veins, deep-dark sculk patches, glow lichen, and the usual underground ores. Cave, extra-underground-cave, and canyon carvers can still open passages through the biome, while no normal creature group is registered in its spawner lists.
The biome record also includes monster rooms, gravel and clay disks, the standard ore passes, tall grass, plains trees, flowers, mushrooms, pumpkins, and top-layer freezing. The sculk vein is placed 204–250 times from the bottom up to Y 256, while the deep-dark patch gets 256 attempts across the same vertical range.

Exploration
Sculk sensors, catalysts, and shriekers make movement and vibration control important. Exploring with care helps avoid escalating a shrieker response while looking for ancient-city resources.
Sounds
The deep dark uses the dedicated `minecraft:music.overworld.deep_dark` background track. The biome record gives it a 12,000–24,000 tick delay and no separate creative or underwater track.
