So in 22w12a, two changes were made to the Sculk Shrieker that I have some concerns about,
You can no longer use Silk Touch to obtain it
Catalysts no longer create more Shriekers
While you could argue that making the Shrieker impossible to collect ensures that griefers don't purposely summon Wardens in other people's houses, I feel that these changes make the Shrieker basically useless outside being a threat to the player.
My hopes with this block are that it stays as a threat, but can also be used to add atmosphere to builds via scary sounds or the Darkness effect, so here's some changes I'd make to this block if I could:
I'd make Silk Touch work on the Shrieker again, so you can collect it, and also make Catalysts able to grow them again, but maybe only in enough darkness, or inside the Deep Dark biome itself!
Another change I'd make to the Shrieker is it will only able to summon a Warden if the block itself is within a Deep Dark biome, but still do the Sound and Darkness regardless of location, this block still works with Redstone after all.
