The Deep Dark is expected to be a horror-themed biome with plenty of chests. It will introduce the new sculk block as well as the Warden, a blind mob that will sense players through vibrations rather than sight.
Mojang has teased that it wants to make the Deep Dark “as big, dark, deep, and absolutely terrifying as possible”, which is why the new biome has been delayed.
