New sculk features

This drop after the summer drop will introduce:
Sculk worms, which dig tiny holes within a radius of 200 blocks within the deep dark biome, spawn rate will increase when closer to the deep dark. They will deal half a heart of damage and draw XP from the player when they attach to the player. They will also have 1 heart and can be shaken off by jumping.
Sculk cores, which are things that when encountered, music will play similar to the minecraft dungeons raid captain encounter music. When you see them, a fight will start almost like a raid but with sculk minions that spawn from the ground like the warden but have 7 hearts and deal 1 heart of damage to the player and 1 damage to the sculk core, which has 100 health. Sculk sentinels will look like the creaking but made out of deepslate and with sculk veins. Sculk sentinels have 15 hearts and will deal 5 damage to the core.
If you succeed in defending the core, you will get sculk tools which have 500 durability, mine their preferred block type in 0.75s, and give you XP when mining. They will also give you an extra 10% of your XP when broken (capped at 15 levels to stop exponential level numbers). Maybe try building up on this and maybe add some more! I would like you to comment on this with some extra suggestions related to this!

    No sculk tools, maybe Warden Core Half 2, crafted together with Half 1 (gotten by killing the warden) to make Warden Core, which lights Ancient City Portal?

    This is better suited for a mod.

    It clashes with the game play enforced by the Warden, and mimics that of the Trial Chambers. New tool

    The lore it adds doesn't make sense. Skulk is a strange, soft growth, so skulk tools make no sense. The Warden kills anything that makes a sound in the Deep Dark, so more mobs makes no sense.

    If the Deep Dark needs anything else (and I'm not saying it does), then it should be something that explains or adds lore to the existing elements. It's set up for a possible future 4th dimension with the large gates in the End Cities, but it doesn't benefit from being Trail Chambers all over again.
