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 book has the equivalent of a level 30 enchantment from an enchantment table, but treasure enchantments are available and the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced. === Trading === {{IN|bedrock}}, librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell enchanted books as part of their trades at novice, apprentice, and journeyman-level, and have {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell enchanted books at expert-level as part of their trades, meaning each librarian villager can sell up to four books. The price ranges between 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book. Based on the level of the enchantment and whether it is classified as a "[[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]]" (meaning they are not obtainable by enchanting, e.g. [[Mending]]), which doubles the cost, or not a price is determined. {{IN|java}}, librarian villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an enchanted book as part of their trades at the novice, apprentice, and journeyman level, and have a 50% chance to sell an enchanted book at the expert level, meaning each librarian can sell up to four books.

See [[Trading#cite_note-enchanted-book-10|trading notes]] for more information on enchantments and prices. ===Drops === Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment, which may be a treasure enchantment.{{only|bedrock}} ===Enchanting=== [[File:Enchanted Book 4x.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple high level enchantments.]] [[File:Similar enchantments.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple enchantments that can be applied to the same item.]] Players can create an enchanted book by enchanting a [[book]] on an [[enchantment table]]. Books have a decreased chance of getting multiple enchantments (specifically, if multiple enchantments would be added, then one is removed at random), and have a lower "enchantability level" than most other items. Treasure enchantments such as Mending cannot be obtained from an enchantment table. === Bartering === Players can barter with [[piglin]]s by using or throwing [[gold ingot]]s, and doing so has a {{frac|5|459}} chance for piglins to give the player an enchanted book with any level of [[Soul Speed]]. Soul Speed enchanted books are only obtainable through [[bartering]], [[chest]] loot inside a bastion remnant, and [[fishing]]. They cannot be obtained through [[enchanting]] or [[trading]]. == Usage == {{see also|Anvil mechanics}} In Survival, enchanted books are the only method to obtain certain enchantments on certain tools, such as Unbreaking on [[shield]]s. Enchanted books have a shine effect on their sprite. To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an [[anvil]], and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of [[experience]]. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil. Enchanted books themselves can be combined to create a single book with increased or multiple enchantments, similar to combining tools or weapons. When combining items, the compatible enchantments from the book in the second slot are transferred to the item from the first slot, keeping the highest level of any type. If two enchantments have the same level and a higher level is available, they combine into the next level. If a book is applied to an item that can't take all of its spells, the appropriate spells are transferred, while the unusable ones are lost. Enchanted books are single-use. Enchanted books do not exhibit their enchantment. For example, a book with Sharpness IV as an enchantment does no more damage than an un-enchanted book, or any non-weapon item, would when used as a weapon. An exception is the Fire Aspect book which can ignite TNT and light campfires and the Mending book if the block mined can be broken by fist.{{only|bedrock}} === Available items === {{See also|Enchantments}} Enchanted books can enchant the usual items that can be enchanted at an [[enchanting table]], but ''unlike an enchanting table'', they are able to boost enchantments such as Sharpness or Thorns to their maximum power, and may apply the following enchantments to items (the table displays only netherite tools and armor, but any type can be enchanted): <!-- do not change the items listed in this table.

The enchanted item can still be used in Survival mode without any loss of enchantments. Enchantments that are normally incompatible are still incompatible; for example, Piercing and Multishot cannot be both applied to the same item, even in Creative mode. If a block is enchanted, it loses the enchantment upon being placed in the world. === Disenchanting === Disenchanting an enchanted book at a [[grindstone]] yields a normal [[book]] and some experience depending on the quality of the book. === Chiseled bookshelf === {{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having an enchanted book in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf. == Sounds == {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted3.ogg |sound4=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted4.ogg |subtitle=Enchanted Book placed |source=block |description=When an enchanted book is placed in a chiseled bookshelf |id=block.chiseled_bookshelf.insert.enchanted |translationkey=subtitles.chiseled_bookshelf.insert_enchanted |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound name=insertvaries>Can be 1.0, 0.85, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted3.ogg |subtitle=Enchanted Book taken |source=block |description=When an enchanted book is removed from a chiseled bookshelf |id=block.chiseled_bookshelf.pickup.enchanted |translationkey=subtitles.chiseled_bookshelf.take_enchanted |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound name=pickupvaries>Can be 1.0, 0.8, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted3.ogg |sound4=Chiseled bookshelf insert enchanted4.ogg |source=block |description=When an enchanted book is placed in a chiseled bookshelf |id=insert_enchanted.chiseled_bookshelf |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound name=insertvaries>Can be 1.0, 0.85, or 1.1 for each sound</ref>}} {{Sound table |sound=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted1.ogg |sound2=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted2.ogg |sound3=Chiseled bookshelf pickup enchanted3.ogg |source=block |description=When an enchanted book is removed from a chiseled bookshelf |id=pickup_enchanted.chiseled_bookshelf |volume=0.8 |pitch=''varies'' <ref group=sound name=pickupvaries>Can be 1.0, 0.8, or 1.1 for each sound</ref> |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Enchanted Book |spritetype=item |nameid=enchanted_book |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showitemtags=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Enchanted Book |spritetype=item |nameid=enchanted_book |id=521 |itemtags=minecraft:bookshelf_books</code> |form=item |foot=1}} === Item data === {{el|java}}: {{main|Player.dat format}} Enchanted books use an NBT tag <code>StoredEnchantments</code> to indicate the enchantment.

Trivia

• 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.
• 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.
