Players who have been staying up to date with the Minecraft Caves & Cliffs updates are likely aware of The Warden. However, most of them do not know where this dangerous mob lurks.

Once part two of the Caves & Cliffs update launches, the Warden will be found wandering in the Deep Dark biome, which is said to be located at the "deepest depths of the world."

Due to the Warden's extremely dangerous nature, players are recommended to gear up when searching for the Deep Dark biome.

As stated above, the Deep Dark biome will be found in the "deepest depths of the world." More specifically, this biome will likely be located below the y = 0 layer.

If Mojang keeps the biome as it is seen in the image above, players should search for a ravine-shaped cave that consists of Deepslate.

Players will need to have multiple pickaxes to be able to dig this deep.

The Deep Dark biome will have some of the most unique features in Minecraft.

The blocks that may be found in the Deep Dark biome are listed below:

  • Sculk Block
  • Sculk Sensor
  • Sculk Trap (unofficial name)
  • Sculk Chute (unofficial name)
  • Sculk Vein

Out of all of the blocks listed above, the Sculk Sensor seems to be the most interesting. This block can detect if an "action" or "event" is taking place within a range of eight blocks. This action can be a player walking or even a sheep eating grass.

When the sculk sensor detects an action or an event, it will activate and emit a Redstone signal. These sensors will completely change the game for the redstone builders of Minecraft.

The video given below, made by the legendary redstone builder MumboJumbo, discusses whether or not the Sculk Sensor will be a game-changer.

In addition to these wonderful blocks, one of Minecraft's most terrifying mobs will be found in the Deep Dark biome. This mob is simply known as The Warden.

The Warden is the first completely blind mob in Minecraft. It is, by far, the most dangerous mob in the game due to its large amount of health and insane damage output.

Similar to the Sculk Sensor, the Warden picks up on noises and vibrations. It will pursue and kill the player if they make any noise. Due to this feature, players can use projectiles such as arrows or snowballs to distract the Warden as they make their great escape.
