Warden's artwork and game implementation revealed by Minecraft developers

At Minecraft Live 2021, Mojang announced their plans to move deep dark caves and all of its features to The Wild Update. One of the most anticipated mobs, the Warden, has been delayed and will release with version 1.19 update.

During the live stream, developers shared a new look of deep dark caves and its exclusive structure - deep dark cities. However, there wasn't much revealed about the Warden other than the fact that sculk catalysts can summon this horrific mob.

On the official YouTube channel, Mojang has released a new video for the series "The Secrets of Minecraft." This time, the video focused on the Warden, and it showed some horrifying artwork of the mob from its early development stage.

Minecraft 1.19 The Wild Update: New information about the Warden

In the recent video, the show's hosts shared some old sculk blocks and Warden designs. The entire deep dark cave biome is created to feel out of the world. The atmosphere and the blocks do not have any similarities with the Overworld.

When developers were coming up with design ideas for sculk blocks, they thought of blocks straight out of 'Stranger Things,' or inspired by trypophobia and creepy bones. However, if Mojang had added these textures to Minecraft, the game would have to change its age rating.

Since the Warden would have textures similar to sculk blocks, the mob looked frightful in the development stage. Though the latest Warden design is scary enough, the old textures looked terrifying.

There is no need to fight the Warden

Warden isn't like any other mob in Minecraft; its strength matches, and may even go beyond, boss-type mobs like the Ender dragon and the Wither.

It will prove to be a more formidable foe than boss mobs. However, fighting this mob isn't necessary. The Warden is native to deep dark caves and won't appear anywhere else in the world.

Even if players mistakenly stumble inside this terrifying cave biome, they won't have to face the Warden straightaway, as it only appears if players decide to stick around for too long.
