Additions

Items

Minecraft:Spawn eggs

• File:Warden Spawn Egg JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Warden spawn egg

Mobs

File:Warden.gif Minecraft:Warden

• The first fully blind mob (bats have basic vision, both in game and in real life).
  • Has a sense of smell. It can detect and path find toward the general location of a player or mob through a "smelling" action.
    • Prioritizes smelling the player or mob that it is most suspicious of, rather than the one closest to it.
  • Has a sense of vibration. When sensing movement, it path finds toward the source of the movement.
    • It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.
    • When it detects a vibration, the growths on its head rattle and light up, similar to the Minecraft:sculk sensor.
      • If any projectile (e.g. Minecraft:egg, Minecraft:snowball, Minecraft:arrow) lands near it, the warden inspects the location where the projectile landed, due to the projectile creating significant vibrations. This feature can be used in order to cause a distraction.
    • Does not detect players that are sneaking.
  • Can detect players or mobs that have the Minecraft:Invisibility effect.
• Becomes more suspicious of a player or mob as it detects its location more through vibrations and/or smelling. When it suspects the target enough, it identifies its exact location, which aggravates it, causing it to pathfind toward the target to attack regardless of outside distractions.
• Spawns when a player activates sculk shriekers three times.
  • It is the only mob that spawns in the deep dark biome.
• "Emerges" from the ground when spawned by Minecraft:sculk shriekers.
  • Digs back into the ground when it doesn't sense any vibration after 60 seconds.
    • Like how Minecraft:name tags prevent despawning, name tags can also prevent wardens from being able to burrow back to the ground.
    • Wardens don't dig back when they're in water.
• Has Template:Hp health points and does Template:Hp damage on Normal difficulty, bringing players wearing full netherite Minecraft:armor from full health to Template:Hp health points.
• Is about 3.5 blocks tall, making it one of the tallest mobs in the game, exceeding the Minecraft:iron golem and Minecraft:enderman in height and width (the same).
  • Wardens have long melee reach, being able to hit the player when on top of a four block pillar, thus making it capable of countering certain cheese tactics, such as pillaring.
• Wardens disable shields when they hit the players with their fists.
• The warden doesn't qualify as a target for the advancement "Monster Hunter" and isn't needed to receive the advancement "Monsters Hunted" due to its role.
• Warden's chest has a glowing core that appears to brighten and dim in tandem with the Darkness effect.
  • The core creates a low throbbing or "heartbeat" sound as it pulses. The sound and animation speed up rapidly as the warden gets more suspicious of or closer to attacking a player or mob.
• Is immune to Minecraft:lava and can float up lava columns very fast.
• Is immune to knockback and never slows down in water.

Non-mob entities

Template:Animate Minecraft:Boat with chest

• Function similarly to Minecraft:minecart with chests, but in boats instead, so player can take a journey on the water and carry things.
• Crafted by combining a Minecraft:chest with any Minecraft:boat.
• Opening its inventory or breaking it makes nearby adult Minecraft:piglins angry.
• Breaking it drops itself (as opposed to a Minecraft:minecart with chest, which splits into its components), and all its items.
• Can hold only one entity.
• The chest on the "Boat with Chest" is 1 pixel smaller then a normal chest.

Gameplay

Minecraft:Effects

• File:Darkness JE1 BE1.png Minecraft:Darkness
  • A status effect triggered by the Minecraft:sculk shrieker, causing the player's camera to dim in brightness, thus limiting the vision of players.
  • Lowers the gamma down at an equivalent of “Moody” while having this effect.

Minecraft:Enchanting

• Added the Minecraft:Swift Sneak enchantment.
  • Has three levels.
  • Can only be applied on Minecraft:leggings.
  • Allow the player to walk faster while sneaking, up to 75% of normal speed at level III.
  • Currently cannot be obtained in Survival.

General

Minecraft:Options

• A new accessibility slider has been added in the options menu called “Darkness Pulsing”.
  • It controls how dark the Darkness effect gets when a warden or Minecraft:sculk shrieker gives it to the player.

Particles

• Added a new particle: shriek, for the pulse that is admitted when triggering a sensor.

Minecraft:Tags

• Added the chest_boats item tag.
  • Contains all types of Minecraft:boat with chests.
• Added the warden_events_can_listen game event tag.
  • Contains the contents of the #vibrations event tag (except flap), sculk_sensor_tendrils_clicking and shriek.

Minecraft:Sculk shrieker

• Added functionality.
  • Has the ability to "shriek", emitting ring-like/sonic particles.

    • Sculk shriekers summon Minecraft:wardens only if there isn't one within 48 blocks.
  • Gives players the Darkness effect when activated.

    • Player has 4 levels of Template:Nbt (0-3). Every time a shrieker is activated, the level increases by 1, and never decreases.

• Currently does not drop when broken, even when using Minecraft:Silk Touch.

Items

Minecraft:Boats
