Updated January 26, 2025 by Jacqueline Zalace:The Warden will always be quite a formidable Minecraft foe.
What Is The Warden?
The Warden is ahostile mob that can only spawn in the deep dark.
It’s incredibly tanky, having250 hearts of health.
It can also unleasha lethal sonic boom attack.
More on that later.
It’s alsovery sensitive to vibrations, and will pathfind in the direction of anything it hears.
It can alsopick up players' scents, increasing the chances of it locking onto them.
Where Does The Warden Spawn?
This only applies to natural Shriekers found in the Deep Dark though.
If you move to another biome and place one, the Warden will not be summoned.
How Does The Warden Spawn?
How Do Shriekers Work?
As their name suggests,Sculk Shriekers let out a blood-curdling scream when activated.
There’s an even worse effect of Shrieker activation, though they summon the Warden.
How Do Shriekers Summon The Warden?
You’ll then have your three-Shrieker leeway back for exploring the Deep Dark.
Because of this,the state the Warden spawns in is the calmer of its two states.
The calm state begins to change whenever the Warden picks up vibrations.
It can hear any vibrations around it in a 16-block radius and pathfinds towards them as it hears them.
Thisincludes sounds from players, mobs, and objects such as projectiles and minecarts.
At this point, the Warden essentially pathfinds as if it can see its target.
What Are The Warden’s Attacks?
Once the Warden hears you make more noise, it will change directions though.
We suggest taking a few stacks of snowballs with you, ensuring that you don’t run out.
This really is your best hope, as the Warden’s attacks are formidable.
Can You Kill The Warden?
The short answer is yes, but this is a difficult process.
If you aren’t up to the task, then we highly suggest fleeing.
If you do want to fight the Warden, we suggest bringing the following items.
As mentioned earlier,the Warden has 500 HP,or the equivalent of 250 hearts.
For reference,the Ender Dragon has 200 HP,which is less than half.
