Details
Size	In Java Edition: Height: 2.9 blocks Width: 0.8 blocks

The warden is a hostile mob summoned by sculk shriekers which is able to do both melee and ranged attacks. Wardens are completely blind and thus rely on vibrations and their sense of smell to identify moving entities, and deal the most non one-off damage of any mob in the game.

Spawning

Wardens do not use traditional mob spawning mechanics. When a player activates any sculk shrieker three times, and there isn't another warden within 48 blocks, and the light level is lower than 11, a warden emerges from the ground. Up to 20 attempts are made to spawn a warden within a 11×13×11 box centered on the shrieker.

The warning count for sculk shriekers is specific to each player, not each sculk shrieker. This means that the same player can activate three different sculk shriekers just once, and a warden spawns on the third activation.

Drops

Wardens drop three experience points when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior

Wardens are blind and wander randomly, even through rails. The warden's hitbox can fit inside a corridor 1 block wide and 3 blocks tall. This allows them to chase foes pathfinding precisely even in small cave corridors. Wardens are immune to knockback and to damage from fire and lava. Water does not slow down a warden and a bubble column has no effect on an aggravated warden. A nearby vibration agitates the warden, which moves toward the location where the vibration originated. It can also smell the area around it, allowing it to zero in on an entity's location. The more vibrations a mob or player makes, the more agitated it grows.

The warden roaring at a baby chicken.

The souls on its chest creates a low throbbing heartbeat sound, in tandem with the Darkness effect. The animation and sound speeds up gradually as the warden becomes more agitated. Wardens prefer to track down mobs that it finds most suspicious, rather than the closest one.

Once a warden reaches a high enough level of agitation, it roars and pursues the target. In this alerted state, the warden pathfinds to the target normally, regardless of vibrations made. If a mob or player collides with a warden, or attacks it first, the warden immediately enters its angry state.

Apart from players, a warden tracks down and attacks all other mobs, excluding other wardens. The warden can also follow vibrations made by non-mob entities such as projectiles or minecarts.

After sixty seconds of being "calm" and not detecting any vibrations, the warden burrows back into the ground and despawns. The warden is completely invulnerable while emerging or burrowing, including damage from /kill, though it can still be pushed by entities, pistons or liquids.

The warden's melee attack disables shields for 5 seconds, and deals an exceptional amount of damage, enough to instantly kill a player wearing unenchanted full netherite armor on Hard difficulty. If the target is still on its search radius and on high ground or hiding behind walls, a warden can charge up a ranged attack called a "sonic explosion." This guided attack can pass through blocks, and is visible with the formation of green-blue particles that are quickly projected out of the warden's chest. It deals the same amount of damage as its melee attack and also disables shields for 5 seconds on impact.

History

Java Edition
2020					Concept art was created with earlier designs for the warden, then known as the "stalker".
					The original "stalker" design was programmed into the game.
					A second version of the "stalker" could transform into a form that was less wide and tall when chasing an entity or player, while its regular form was meant to disguise as a treasure totem. This was considered too goofy and insufficiently scary, and was scrapped.
2020					Concept art for a "hollowed" design was created.
					This "hollowed" design was programmed into the game.
					It was ultimately considered too gory for Minecraft, so it was scrapped.
October 3, 2020					The warden is announced at Minecraft Live 2020.
October 6, 2020					A set of teaser images of the warden's size and behavior were released on Brandon Pearce's Twitter.
October 16, 2021					A revised texture and new behavior was shown at Minecraft Live 2021.
November 26, 2021					The warden is revealed to have a sense of smell; it can detect and pathfind toward the general location of a player or mob through a "smelling" action. It also prioritizes smelling the player or mob that it is most suspicious of, rather than the one closest to it.
December 18, 2021					Showed warden emerge behavior.

The compass points to spawn when viewed in any way, including as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]], in a player's hand, in an inventory or the crafting table, or in an [[item frame]]. The direction the needle points to is relative to the player who is viewing it. In [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], the compass' needle spins and points in random directions. The compass can be used on a [[lodestone]], after which it is named lodestone compass by default and points to that lodestone as long as the compass is in the same dimension as the lodestone, but if the compass is taken to a different dimension, it spins randomly, as a normal compass would in the Nether or the End. If the lodestone is destroyed, it also spins randomly, even if the lodestone is replaced afterward. However, if a lodestone compass is placed in storage, the lodestone can be broken and replaced without the compass losing the attunement, as long as the compass remains in storage while the lodestone is missing. A lodestone compass appears [[enchanting|enchanted]], similar to the [[Enchanted Golden Apple|enchanted golden apple]].

They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]]. ==Obtaining== A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each. {{Stonecutting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |Name Tag |Name, 16; Tag, 16 |description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]]. }} {{Stonecutting |showdescription= |Name; Tag |Bit, 16 |foot=1 }} To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits. A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible. "Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]]. {{Crafting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |A1= Bit;  ; Bit; Bit |B1=  ; Bit; Bit; Bit |A2=  ; Bit; Bit; |B2= Bit;  ;  ; Bit |A3= Bit;  ; Bit; Bit |B3=  ; Bit; Bit; Bit |Output= Right Curly; Left Curly; Left Square; Right Square |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Tag |String |Output= String Tag |description=String tags must be named in an [[anvil]] to set their value. |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Tag; Tag; Tag |; Stick; Stick, 64 |;  ; Stick, 63 |Output= Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |description=Only 1 stick is consumed. 128 and more sticks make [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|two's complements]]: 128 sticks = <code>-128b</code><br> 129 sticks = <code>-127b</code><br> ⋮<br> 254 sticks = <code>-2b</code><br> 255 sticks = <code>-1b</code> |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |Output= Short Tag; Int Tag; Long Tag |description=Shorts and Ints can be combined the same way, even mixed.

When compound tags contain identical names, only the latest of the corresponding values is used. |ignoreusage=1 |foot=1 }} "Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named. All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: *A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>. **Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags. **An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>. *A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>. **Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags. **An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>. **"Name" items cannot be used in a List. The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want. ==Usage== Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]]. In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements. In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist. ==Trivia== *This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit. *Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data. *The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}. ==History== {{History|java}} {{History||23w13a_or_b|[[File:Tag.png|32px]] Added tags.}} {{History|foot}} ==Gallery== <gallery> Tag.png|Tag Bit.png|Bit Byte Tag.png|Byte Tag Double Tag.png|Double Tag End Tag.png|End Tag Float Tag.png|Float Tag Int Tag.png|Int Tag Left Curly.png|Left Curly Left Square.png|Left Sqaure List Tag.png|List Tag Long Tag.png|Long Tag Name (23w13a or b).png|Name Right Curly.png|Right Curly Right Square.png|Right Square Short Tag.png|Short Tag Sssyntax Error.png|Sssyntax Error String Tag.png|String Tag </gallery> == References == {{reflist}} {{items}} {{jokes}} [[pt:Tag (item)]] [[Category:Joke items]]</li></ul>		beta 1.19.0.20			Wardens are now available without enabling experimental gameplay.

Trivia

• Some previous names being considered for the warden were the stalker and the hollowed.
  • The stalker iteration was tall, asymmetrical and it had a glowing core. It occurred in totems throughout the deep dark. The stalker would stand completely still to any trick players into taking its core and aggravating it, and could transform into a one block high form to prevent players from digging away. That iteration, specifically its appearance and transformation mechanic, felt clunky and was more goofy than scary, so it was scrapped by the Mojang devs..
  • The hollowed was designed with the intent of inciting trypophobia and had white flesh with holes in it. That iteration was deemed too gory by the developers and had to be toned down.
  • In the sixth episode of “The Secrets of Minecraft” it was jokingly revealed that the warden's personal name is William, similar to how the Ender dragon, the Wither, and player characters all have personal joke names. The word was also jokingly broken down into the words: war and den.
• Brandon Pearce (kingbdogz) stated in a tweet that the souls in the warden's chest is incredibly important to its lore.
  • Kingbdogz also stated that the warden is inspired by the "monster" heard at the end of the 11 music disc.
• Coincidentally, in the spinoff game, Minecraft: Story Mode, there is an unrelated character also named The Warden.
• Although the warden is supposed to be blind, spectating it reveals that it still has normal vision.
• There are no advancements associated with killing the warden. The warden is intended to be a natural disaster that is almost impossible to kill and best avoided. Therefore, killing a warden doesn't count for the Monster Hunter advancement, nor is it needed to receive the Monsters Hunted advancement.
