Mobs



 * Voted to be in the update during Minecraft Live 2021.
 * Can find dropped blocks or items for a player.
 * Picks up dropped items in loaded chunks and will be able to carry up to a stack at a time, and cannot duplicate items or take items out of chests. It will drop the items that it collects when in range of a note block that is being used.

 * Variants depend on the temperature of the biome.

 * Are eaten by frogs.




 * Grow up into frogs.
 * Can be held in buckets.
 * Frog type dependent on which temperature a tadpole grows in.






 * Will spawn in the new Deep Dark city generated structure.
 * The first fully blind mob (bats, despite relying almost exclusively on echolocation, still have basic eyesight).
 * Will now have a sense of smell. It will detect a player if they get too close, regardless if they made any vibrations.
 * When sensing movement, it moves toward the source of the movement.
 * It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.
 * It does not attack other Wardens.
 * When attacked, it path finds toward the player.
 * Seems to follow the same rules as the sculk sensor when detecting noise.
 * When it detects a vibration, the growths on its head rattle and light up, similar to the sculk sensor.
 * If any projectile (e.g. egg, snowball, arrow) lands near the Warden, the mob inspects the location where the projectile landed, due to the projectile creating movement and noise. This feature can be used in order to cause a distraction.
 * Does not detect players that are sneaking.
 * Can detect players that are invisible.
 * When aggravated for long enough, the warden follows the player continuously, regardless of any other distractions.
 * Will burn in direct daylight.
 * Incredibly strong, doing damage, bringing players wearing full netherite armor from full health to  health points.
 * It is the only mob that spawns in Deep Dark cities.
 * Will spawn from sculk blocks, appearing to rise out of them, when a sculk shrieker is activated a certain amount of times.
 * A mob designed to be extremely difficult, intended to be fled from.
 * Has a way to counter the strategy of building up 3 blocks to avoid attacks.
 * At least as fast as the player's walking speed.
 * Seems to have knockback resistance.
 * The warden's chest has a glowing core that appears to brighten and dim in tandem with the ambient lighting of the deep dark city generated structure.
 * The core creates a low throbbing sound as it pulses. The sound and animation seem to speed up rapidly when the warden notices a player.
 * Is about 3.5 blocks tall, making it one of the tallest mobs in the game, exceeding the iron golem and enderman in height and width (the same).
 * Can be summoned by Sculk Shriekers; a Warden will rise out of the ground nearby if too many are activated.
 * Can "smell" entities meaning that it will follow entities that are very close, regardless if they make vibrations or not.
