The Warden mob has also received quite a few updates.This article will talk about some of the most impactful changes to the Warden in the newest Bedrock Beta version.Note: This article is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinion.Minecraft Bedrock Beta 1.19.0.26: 5 important changes to the Warden5) No sniffingOne of the most terrifying sounds to hear when evading or sneaking around a warden was the investigative sniffing sound it emitted as it was searching for the player. In the latest version of the Bedrock beta program, the sound has been removed. Wardens no longer emit a sniffing sound when searching for a target.4) Heightened sense of smellIn this update, Mojang has made it so that the warden mob can smell players in its territory from a further distance. This makes the mob even more terrifying, and emphasizes the fact that the mob is meant to be sneaked past and not engaged with.3) Enters “angry” state against all mobs that happen to bump into itIn earlier updates, the warden used to transition to an “angry” state whenever players would run or accidentally bump into the mob. In Bedrock Beta 1.19.0.26, all entities have this effect on the mob. Be it a zombie, a player, or even another warden, the mob will get angry and hostile towards that mob.2) Entities can push the WardenIn earlier updates, entities could not push the warden mob. This was a sign that showed just how powerful the mob was. However, a change was introduced in the Bedrock Beta 1.19.0.26 version of the 1.19 beta program, allowing any mob to push the warden.1) Ranged attackOne of the most powerful changes to the warden mob in this update is the addition of a powerful ranged attack . The “sonic boom” attack deals a large amount of ranged damage to any entity it hits. The attack is especially useful against players who try to evade the warden by using blocks to get up to a safe distance, or by hiding behind a block or structure like a wall.When the warden uses this ranged attack, the mob’s ribcages open up and emit a wave-like ranged attack. One blast of sonic boom attack is enough to bring a player with full netherite armor down to three hearts. However, the ranged attack can only be used to hit one target at a time.
