Minecraft is home to numerous AI-driven entities called mobs. Players often farm resources from them by killing them. However, introduced with the 1.19 update, the Warden is a mob that is not worth slaying, as it does not drop any items. It was designed to be a mob that everyone fears and avoids.
However, Minecraft players are notorious for doing the unnecessary just because they can. This article delves into the easiest way to defeat the Warden.
Guide to defeating the Warden in Minecraft
For those who may be unaware of this mob, the Warden is a blind creature that can only be encountered in the deep dark caves.
Warden spawning mechanics
The mob does not spawn on its own; instead, it emerges from the ground when a naturally placed sculk shrieker block is activated by a sculk sensor.
Sculk blocks can be found in the deep dark cave biomes. You can easily spawn a Warden by simply activating a sculk sensor block, either by walking on it or moving around it. The vibrations caused by this action will activate the sensor, triggering a nearby shrieker block.
Once triggered, the shrieker block emits a distinctive shrieking sound, and eventually, a Warden will emerge by digging up from the ground.
Health and attack statistics
The warden is feared as one of the most challenging mobs to defeat due to its substantial health pool and the significant damage it can inflict with each attack.
Designed to be a mob everyone should avoid, the warden boasts more health than even the boss mobs in Java Edition. With two hundred and fifty hearts, the warden's health surpasses that of any other mob except the wither in Bedrock Edition.
This blind creature is capable of dealing damage through both melee and ranged attacks in Minecraft. Its melee strikes can inflict a maximum of around twenty-two and a half hearts of damage, while its ranged attacks can deal up to seven and a half hearts of damage.
Easy way of defeating the warden
Despite the mob's significant danger, it possesses a rather silly flaw. Due to its movement speed being less than the player's, the Warden is a relatively easy mob to confine. Given that most mobs in Minecraft cannot jump over two blocks, trapping it in a 2x2 hole becomes a straightforward task.
Nevertheless, this action marks only the initial step. Once trapped, you must proceed to eliminate it using a bow and arrow while maintaining a distance of at least 16 blocks away from the warden, as this is the range of its ranged attacks.
Preparing the hole before summoning the Warden will streamline the process. Sneaking can prove helpful in preventing inadvertent summoning, as it won't trigger the sculk sensors. To speed up the process, players can utilize a bow imbued with enchantments like Power, Punch, and Flame.
