A Sculk Shrieker is a block of redstone that can be activated by a redstone pulse from a redstone signal source or a redstone sensor. It activates when it receives a signal caused by the vibrations of a player’s action. This includes running, walking, jumping, flying, mining, etc. Once activated, it will apply the Darkness effect to all Survival Mode players within a 40 block radius.

Activate a Sculk Shrieker
You can activate a Shrieker in several ways. Noisy actions like digging, using an elytra, or jumping will do the trick. The sensors on a Sculk Shrieker then send a signal to its Sculk sensors which causes the “warning level” to go up. Alert levels decrease by one every 10 minutes if no other triggering activity occurs.
That’s all there is to it. Pretty much the only purpose of these blocks is to get you into trouble or if you’re looking for a fight, get a Warden your way.
Aspect of the Warden via a Screaming Sculk
Each time a Screaming Sculk is activated, it adds 1 to the “warning” level to alert the keeper. The warning level is player-specific, not per Screech Sculk, meaning that the same player can activate a different Screech Sculk each of the three times, and a Warden still appears on the third cast, even if a particular Screech Sculk has been activated once. If a player does not activate any Sculk shriekers, the alert level decreases by 1 every 10 minutes.
When a player’s alert level reaches level 3, Sculk Howler will attempt to summon a Warden after Sculk Howler has finished. Up to 20 attempts are made for a Guardian to appear in an 11×13×11 square centered on the Shrieker. If there are no other Guardians within 48 blocks and if the light level is below 11, a Guardian emerges from the ground.
What to do with Sculk Shriekers
You can find Sculk Shrieker in the Deep Dark biome. A Deep Dark biome spawns underground, typically in the mountainous region. You have to dig in the dirt to find this location, and it usually spawns between Y=-1 and Y=-64. When you reach this location, there is a chance that Sculk Shrieker will appear.
When you find one, the item will release a ringing-like sound when you trigger it using a sculk sensor, redstone signal, or if you get close. Also, you will see a distinct sound echoing off the top of the object. If you activate the Sculk Shrieker three times, it will summon a Warden, provided there are none already spawned nearby.
How to avoid or manage guardians in Minecraft
In Minecraft, you can crouch or sneak into the deep dark biome to avoid guardians. If you’re sneaking into a deep, dark biome, it doesn’t cause vibrations. While you have to watch out for theft sensors, they are hidden traps in the dark biome. If you walk on the sensors, they also give a warning signal to the egg keeper in Minecraft.
If the guardian in Minecraft finds a player and the player wants a quick trick to save, then the good trick will run as fast as a player to the nearest light source.
