A Cure for Sculk

In Minecraft sculk acts like something alive, creeping across surfaces when given chance. Its spread is tied to how the catalyst reacts after mobs die nearby. Though its never labeled as a disease, its behavior is very similar to one, making it logical that it should have a cure.

An idea for this feature could be glow berries. It could work by turning them into a splash potion or create blocks that act as the opposite of sculk, removing sculk when exposed to stimuli. By doing this, glow berries finally have a purpose past just decoration, as well as pushing players towards the lush caves in the search for a cure.

As the sculk continues to get updated it becomes a larger and larger part of the game and a way to reverse its growth seems like a clear step towards its final form. With this change it doesnt just affect the sculk's place in the world but also stregthens its connection to the whole underground world

  Could be sound based, like using a bell or a goat horn. Causes damage to sculk (making blocks break), which is why the Warden attacks things that make sound
