Minecraft:Bedrock Edition guides/The Wild Update

This guide is a simplified overview of all changes in Minecraft:The Wild Update update (Template:BE 1.19.x releases), which assumes at least some familiarity with the Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs updates (Bedrock Edition 1.17.x and Bedrock Edition 1.18.x releases).

Mobs

New

Minecraft:Warden	File:Warden.gif	Summoned when a player triggers a natural Minecraft:sculk shrieker four times.	Template:Drop Template:Xp (when killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf)	The first fully-blind mob. In order to find a target, it relies on vibrations, smell, and contact. Rises out of the floor when summoned. Digs back into the ground when it reverts back to a calm state and doesn't detect a vibration in 60 seconds. Has the highest health out of all mobs in Java Edition. Is immune to fire, lava, and knockback. A warden starts out searching for a target, slowly getting more agitated as it gets more suspicious of a mob. When agitated, it roars and then pursues the target. A warden instantly becomes agitated when hit by another mob. Wardens possess an extremely powerful melee attack, which can also disable shields. Targets that are still being pursued, but are out-of-reach for its melee attack, will be hit with a ranged sonic boom attack, which bypasses shields and armor.
Minecraft:Frog	Template:Animate	Minecraft:Swamp and Minecraft:mangrove swamp	Template:Xp (when killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf)	Spawns when a tadpole grows up. Frogs have three color variations, each depending on the temperature of the biome it spawns in. Temperate biomes spawn orange frogs, cold biomes spawn green frogs, and warm biomes spawn white frogs. Eats tiny Minecraft:slimes to produce slime balls. Eats tiny Minecraft:magma cubes to produce Minecraft:froglights. The type of frog influences the froglight's color.
Minecraft:Tadpole	File:Tadpole JE1 BE1.png	None	None	Spawns when hatching from Minecraft:frogspawn. Grows up into a frog. Possesses the traits of a fish mob, like requiring water, being able to be placed in a Minecraft:water bucket, and flopping around outside of water.
Minecraft:Allay	File:Allay BE1.gif	Minecraft:Woodland mansion Minecraft:Pillager outpost	None	Flies around and follows the player. Looks for dropped items of the same kind as the item given to it by the player. After a while, it brings those items to the player. When a note block is played nearby, the allay will leave the items on top of the note block instead.

Minecraft:Sculk catalyst	File:Sculk Catalyst JE1 BE1.png	Generates in the deep dark. Can be found in ancient city chests. Dropped by wardens.	Hoe (requires Silk Touch)	When a mob dies nearby, the catalyst blooms and sends out a bubbling charge, which spreads a patch of sculk and sculk veins whenever it goes over surface blocks like stone, grass blocks, and netherrack. Bubbling charges only spread sculk veins on other non-surface blocks. Bubbling charges have a chance to create sculk sensors and sculk shriekers when moving on top of sculk. The amount of sculk it spreads depends on how much experience the mob would have dropped.

A natural sculk shrieker can inflict the darkness effect. Each shriek acts as a warning. The warden is summoned on the fourth shriek. Each warning level gets cleared out if the player has not set off a shrieker within 10 minutes. Dying completely clears out warning levels. A sculk shrieker placed by a player or catalyst cannot inflict darkness or summon wardens.
