Getting‐Started

Getting Started

Installation

1. Install Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.248
   • Download from neoforged.net
2. Download the latest sculkecho-x.x.x.jar from Modrinth
3. Place it in your mods folder
4. Launch the game

Your First 10 Minutes

1. Press V — your first Echo Pulse. The world lights up in colored dots.
2. Walk into a cave — press V again. Watch the stalactites appear before you see them.
3. Find a mob — at infection stage 3+, mobs glow red (hostile) or green (passive) in your sonar.
4. Get hit by an infected mob — watch the HUD: INFECTION starts climbing.
5. At infection 100 — the sculk becomes part of you. New abilities unlock.

Controls

Key	Action
V	Echo Pulse (sonar wave)
G	Cast Sculk Soul (requires Symbiosis)
H	Summon infected allies (requires Symbiosis)

Tips

• Stand on sculk blocks to regenerate Hive Favor faster
• Use /sculkecho fog off for screenshots without the infection vignette
• The Sculk Merchant spawns in Deep Dark — trade echo shards for rare items
