The warden is a hostile mob summoned by sculk shriekers in deep dark biomes. It has the highest health and deals the highest melee damage of all mobs. It can also fire ranged sonic boom attacks that bypass blocks and almost all damage-reducing items, including enchanted armor. The warden is completely blind and relies on vibrations and its sense of smell to detect players and mobs to attack. And can be scary if you have diamond armour or less.

Spawning

The warden emerges from the ground after being summoned by sculk shriekers

Wardens do not use standard mob spawning mechanics. Instead, they are spawned when a player activates naturally generated sculk shriekers four times, and if there isn't already another warden within 24 blocks of it. When a warden spawns, it emerges from the ground near the shrieker that summoned it, taking about 6.7 seconds to do so and being completely invulnerable until fully emerged.

The warning count for sculk shriekers is specific to each player, rather than each sculk shrieker. This means that the player can activate four different shriekers in different locations, and a warden still emerges after the fourth activation.

Up to 20 attempts are made to spawn a warden within a 11×13×11 box, which is centered on the shrieker. During each attempt, the game picks a random Y column, then the game picks the topmost block in that column with a top surface with full collision, and the block above must have no collision. Unlike other hostile mobs, light level does not have an effect on warden spawning. Like other mobs, the spawning warden cannot collide with any existing entities or liquids.

In Java Edition, warden spawning can be toggled on or off with the game rule doWardenSpawning.

Drops

Wardens drop a single sculk catalyst upon death. They also drop 5 experience if killed by either a player or a tamed wolf.

Behavior

The warden is blind and seeks out targets by listening and by sniffing.

After spawning, wardens wander randomly around the world and move toward nearby vibrations originating from players, mobs, and non-mob sources including projectiles and minecarts. The warden also periodically sniffs the area around it, allowing it to zero in on targets even if they don't create vibrations. As wardens sniff, pick up vibrations, or are touched by other players/mobs, they become increasingly agitated.

Passive

The warden can fit inside of any space that is 1 block wide and 3 blocks tall, allowing it to chase players and mobs through small corridors.

Wardens are immune to damage from fire or lava, and do not take knockback. They can pathfind through blocks that are usually avoided by other mobs, including rails, powder snow, and magma blocks.

The warden, whether angered or not, gives 12 seconds of Darkness to all players within a 20 block radius of it every 6 seconds. The souls in its chest make a low, throbbing heartbeat that occurs in tandem with the Darkness effect. The heartbeat speeds up as the warden becomes increasingly agitated. The warden prefers to track down the most suspicious targets, rather than the ones closest to it.

Detecting mobs

The warden listens to all vibrations within a 16 block radius, except those from other wardens, armor stands, dying mobs, and players in Creative or Spectator mode. Like with sculk sensors, they cannot detect a player who is sneaking and is also walking, falling, or shooting a projectile. The warden has a 2-second cooldown between detecting vibrations.

The warden is aware of all targetable entities within a 49×51×49 box around itself. If the warden has a targetable entity, is not investigating any disturbances, and is otherwise idle, it will pathfind towards the closest entity, prioritizing players over mobs. While pathfinding, the warden can begin a 'sniff' behavior and animation. This takes around 4.2 seconds, and has a 5-10 second cooldown.

Anger

Wardens keep track of how angry it is at each suspect as a number from 0 to 150. When the warden notices a vibration, it adds anger to the mob that caused the vibration. It adds 10 anger if the vibration was from a projectile, or 35 anger for other vibrations. However, if two projectiles are heard by the warden within five seconds, it instead adds the full 35 anger toward that player/mob. Wardens do not add anger toward a mob/player if the projectile was shot from more than 30 blocks away, although the projectile does count toward the counter of two projectiles. Anger decays at a rate of 1 per second and immediately clears if the targeted player switches to Creative or Spectator mode, the target or warden leaves the dimension, or if the target dies.

The warden adds 35 anger toward any mob that directly touches it. This effect has a 1-second cooldown.

When it finishes sniffing, the warden adds 35 anger to the nearest mob or player within 6 blocks horizontally and 20 blocks vertically, a cylindrical volume centered on the warden.

Once a warden reaches 80 anger with a target, it roars for 4.2 seconds, adds another 20 anger, and pursues the target. In this angered state, the warden chases the target normally despite being blind. The warden also enters its hostile state and adds 100 anger if directly attacked by a mob. If the attacking player or mob is within 5 blocks, it skips its roaring animation altogether and immediately gives chase.

The warden is biased toward player vibrations, attacks and contact - even if a warden is angrier at another mob, it still attacks the player first as long as they have angered the warden as well. This is not true of any other mob.

After 60 seconds of being "calm" and not detecting any vibrations or sniffing any mobs, it burrows back into the ground and despawns, unless the warden has been named. If the warden is floating on a liquid, it instead immediately despawns without any burrowing animation. During its emerging/burrowing animation, the warden can take damage only from /kill, though it can still be pushed by entities, pistons, or liquids. Named wardens do not dig nor despawn.

Attacks

The warden's melee attack has a cooldown of 0.9 seconds and disables shields for 5 seconds, dealing 16 × 8 to 45 × 22.5 HP depending on the difficulty.

The warden's sonic boom attack

If a warden cannot reach its target, it switches to its ranged attack: a powerful sonic boom. It does so when the following are true:

• It has been 10 seconds since the warden detected the target
• It has been 5 seconds since the warden last used a melee or ranged attack
• The target is within 15 blocks horizontally and 20 block vertically of the warden.

The sonic boom directly attacks the target, passing through blocks and other mobs without damaging them. The warden takes 1.7 seconds to charge up, then unleashes the attack, which instantly hits the target as long as the target is within attack range. It cannot be dodged. The attack takes an additional 1.3 seconds to cool down before the warden can use melee attacks again for a total of 3 seconds. The sonic boom is visible via green-blue particles that are projected out of the warden's chest. This attack bypasses shields, armor, enchantments, blocks, and even the wither armor of the wither. Only the Resistance effect can reduce this attack's damage.

Sounds

Java Edition:
Wardens use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Advancements

There are currently no advancements associated with killing a warden. The warden is intended to be a natural disaster that is nearly 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.

History

2020					Several pieces of concept art were created for the warden, known at the time as the stalker.
					A prototype of 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 iteration got scrapped as it was considered too goofy and insufficiently scary.
2020					The stalker was renamed to hollowed.
					Several pieces of concept art were also created for the hollowed design iteration.
					A prototype of the hollowed design was programmed into the game.
					This iteration was ultimately scrapped, as it was considered too gory for Minecraft.
October 3, 2020					The warden is announced at Minecraft Live 2020.
October 6, 2020					A set of teaser images regarding the warden's size and behavior were posted on Brandon Pearce's Twitter.
October 16, 2021					New spawning conditions and textures for the warden were revealed 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					The warden's emerging animations were showcased.

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.

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>		Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1			Added wardens.

It can also hold [[Item|items]] and be posed (but these are not possible in [[Survival]] in [[Java Edition]]). == Obtaining == An armor stand can be broken by quickly {{control|attack|text=attacking}} it twice, dropping itself and any armor placed onto it. === Crafting === {{Crafting |A1= Stick |B1= Stick |C1= Stick |B2= Stick |A3= Stick |B3= Smooth Stone Slab |C3= Stick |Output= Armor Stand |type=Decoration block }} === Natural generation === Two armor stands are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one equipped with an [[iron helmet]], the other with an [[iron chestplate]]. == Usage == [[Player]]s can use armor stands to hold [[armor]], [[mob head]]s, [[carved pumpkin]]s, and [[elytra]]. [[Commands]] can be used to give them other [[item]]s. The stand does not have a GUI, so players interact with it directly. Armor stands are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to [[banner]]s or [[sign]]s. Armor stands are [[entity|entities]], allowing them to be pushed by [[piston]]s, moved by flowing [[water]], pulled with [[fishing rod]]s, pushed by players (with knockback), and bounced by [[slime block]]s. {{Control|use|text=Using}} armor on the stand places the armor if done on a bare spot. Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand removes the armor and places it in the highlighted hotbar slot. It is not possible to take or place items from the armor stand's hands unless playing on Bedrock Edition. Armor, mob heads, or carved pumpkins can be automatically placed on armor stands with a [[dispenser]]. Armor stands can be customized further to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, dual wield and other things by summoning them using {{cmd|summon}} with [[Chunk format#ArmorStand|NBT tags]]. In maps heavily using [[command blocks]], armor stands can be used to keep [[scoreboard]] objectives that are 'global' to the map, run [[commands]], etc. {{IN|bedrock}}, the pose of the armor stand can be changed by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Pose|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while sneaking, or by using a redstone signal. There are 13 possible poses. Armor stands can also hold items by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Equip|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while holding an item that cannot be worn. ;<nowiki>Below are the poses: {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" !

Any [[armor]] on the stand drops when the stand is broken. Armor stands can display [[enchanting|enchanted]] and all forms of [[dye]]d armor. The effects of most enchanted armor have no effect when on an armor stand, with three exceptions: * [[Frost Walker]] creates [[frosted ice]] blocks on [[water]] as usual if an armor stand is pushed with a [[piston]]. * [[Depth Strider]] slows the movement of the armor stand when being pushed with water. * A [[player]] may take damage from hitting an armor stand that holds armor enchanted with [[Thorns]]. Armor stands are not damaged by [[cacti]] but can be broken by [[arrow]]s. An armor stand destroyed by an explosion or a firework does not drop as an [[item (entity)|item]]. Armor stands in water and [[lava]] at the same time are not consumed by the lava. {{IN|be}}, armor stands can be affected by [[status effect]]s. They can be 'killed' by [[Harming]] and [[Decay]] [[splash potion|splash]]/[[lingering potion]]s, lava, [[fire]], and [[campfire]]s, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, yielding no armor stand item. If an armor stand is equipped with an item or armor, that item or armor is considered as "naturally-spawned equipment" with an 8.5% chance of dropping when the armor stand "dies" from the [[Instant Damage]] or the [[Wither (status effect)|Wither]] status effect. If the dropped item is any form of [[weapon]], [[tool]] or armor, it drops in a badly damaged state because the game considers it as "naturally-spawned equipment".<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-24341}}</ref> The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player. {{IN|java}}, it is possible to create an armor stand with arms using the {{cmd|summon}} [[command]]. It is also possible to change an armor stand without arms into a stand with arms by using the {{cmd|data}} command. The commands are as follows: * <code>/data merge entity @e[type=armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=1] {ShowArms:1}</code>, which changes the nearest armor stand into an armor stand with arms. * <code>/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1}</code>, which summons a new armor stand with arms shown. *<code>/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Rotation:[0.0f]}</code>, which summons a new armor stand that faces a desired direction (dependent on changing "0.0f" to other numbers like "90.0f" or "180.0f", otherwise it faces the same way as a default armor stand). == Sounds == {{edition|java}}:<br> Armor stands use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events. {{Sound table |sound=Armor Stand hit1.ogg |sound2=Armor Stand hit2.ogg |sound3=Armor Stand hit3.ogg |sound4=Armor Stand hit4.ogg |subtitle=Block breaking |source=Friendly Creatures |description=When an armor stand is damaged |id=entity.armor_stand.hit |translationkey=subtitles.block.generic.hit |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Armor Stand break1.ogg |sound2=Armor Stand break2.ogg |sound3=Armor Stand break3.ogg |sound4=Armor Stand break4.ogg |subtitle=Block broken |source=Friendly Creatures |description=When an armor stand is destroyed |id=entity.armor_stand.break |translationkey=subtitles.block.generic.break |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Stone dig1.ogg |sound2=Stone dig2.ogg |sound3=Stone dig3.ogg |sound4=Stone dig4.ogg |subtitle=Block placed |source=Blocks |description=When an armor stand is placed |id=entity.armor_stand.place |translationkey=subtitles.block.generic.place |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Wood dig1.ogg |sound2=Wood dig2.ogg |sound3=Wood dig3.ogg |sound4=Wood dig4.ogg |subtitle=Block placed |source=Friendly Creatures |description=When an armor stand falls onto a block at a high speed{{Info needed}} |id=entity.armor_stand.fall |translationkey=subtitles.entity.armorstand.fall |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Armor Stand hit1.ogg |sound2=Armor Stand hit2.ogg |sound3=Armor Stand hit3.ogg |sound4=Armor Stand hit4.ogg |source=neutral |description=When an armor stand is damaged |id=mob.armor_stand.hit |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Armor Stand break1.ogg |sound2=Armor Stand break2.ogg |sound3=Armor Stand break3.ogg |sound4=Armor Stand break4.ogg |source=neutral |description=When an armor stand is destroyed |id=mob.armor_stand.break |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Stone dig1.ogg |sound2=Stone dig2.ogg |sound3=Stone dig3.ogg |sound4=Stone dig4.ogg |source=neutral |description=When an armor stand is placed |id=mob.armor_stand.place |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Wood dig1.ogg |sound2=Wood dig2.ogg |sound3=Wood dig3.ogg |sound4=Wood dig4.ogg |source=neutral |description=When an armor stand falls onto a block at a high speed{{Info needed}} |id=mob.armor_stand.land |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Armor Stand |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Item |spritename=armor-stand |spritetype=item |nameid=armor_stand |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Armor Stand |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Entity |spritename=armor-stand |spritetype=entity |nameid=armor_stand |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Armor Stand |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Item |spritename=armor-stand |spritetype=item |nameid=armor_stand |id=552 |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Armor Stand |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Entity |spritename=armor-stand |spritetype=entity |nameid=armor_stand |id=61 |foot=1}} === Item data === {{el|java}}: {{main|Player.dat format}} <div class="treeview"> * {{nbt|compound|tag}}: The item's '''tag''' tag. {{:Player.dat_format/Entity Spawners}} </div> {{el|bedrock}}: : {{IN|bedrock}}, armor stands have no additional item tag. : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Item format]]. === Entity data === Armor stands have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the [[entity]]. {{el|java}}: {{main|Entity format}} {{/ED}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format]]. == Video == Note: This video is outdated as Zoglins now attack armor stands <div style="text-align:center">{{yt|tCFkdTfCleQ}}</div> == History == {{History|java}} {{History||1.8|snap=August 5, 2014|slink={{Tweet|SeargeDP|496666952530538498}}|[[File:Armor Stand (pre-release).png|32px]] [[File:Armor Stand (item) (pre-release).png|32px]] [[Searge]] tweeted a image of an armor stand.

In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors. == Usage == A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen. === Placement === Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the chalkboard. 1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards. === Text === When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor. While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line. After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered. === Interaction === Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them. Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving. Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Stone/BE}} == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Block |spritename=chalkboard |spritetype=block |nameid=chalkboard |id=230 |form=block |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name}} {{ID table |displayname=Item |spritename=board |spritetype=item |nameid=board |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name |id=454 |form=item |foot=1}} === Metadata === {{see also|Data values}} Chalkboards uses the following data values: *Slate: 1 *Board: 2 *Poster: 3 <!--{{/DV}}--> === Block states === {{see also|Block states}} {{info needed}} <!--{{/BS}}--> == History == {{History|pocket alpha}} {{History||v0.16.0|snap=build 1|[[File:Chalkboard Slate.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Poster.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Board.png|32px]]<br>[[File:Chalkboard_Slate_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Poster_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Board_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] Added chalkboards, likely as an accidental addition. |Chalkboards can be obtained and placed using the {{cmd|give}} and {{cmd|setblock}} [[command]]s respectively.

Trivia

• Although the warden is supposed to be blind, spectating it reveals that it still has normal vision.
• The concept for the warden was originally planned for the Nether Update as a "blind piglin that could only respond to sounds" that could be found within a "new biome".
• Some previous names being considered for the warden were the shade, the stalker, and the hollowed.
  • The shade was a vaguely humanoid translucent mob with glowing eyes. It was meant to be a more ambient mob, which would stand in darkness with only its eyes visible and would slowly fade away as the player approached it. It would also imitate the noise of other mobs, making it sound as though they were right behind the player. Rather than an iteration on the warden, by then called the "stalker", the shade had come to be a completely separate mob to the stalker, though in some concepts it was meant to be sort of complementary, living in the Ancient Cities and helping the stalker by tricking players into alerting it. It was eventually scrapped due to a feeling that it would grow to become annoying rather than creepy, and so the team could better focus on developing the stalker.
  • The stalker iteration was tall and asymmetrical with a glowing core (sometimes referred to as a chest crystal). It occurred in totems throughout the deep dark. The stalker would stand completely still to trick players into taking its core and aggravating it, and could transform into a form one block high form to prevent players from escaping through small tunnels. This iteration, specifically its appearance and transformation mechanic, felt clunky and was deemed more goofy than scary, so it was scrapped by the Mojang developers. The vibration-sensing aspect, which was developed in this version, however, was passed down to and refined in the later iterations.
  • The hollowed was designed with the intent of inciting trypophobia and had white flesh with holes in it. According to Brandon Pearce, its design was an experiment to see how far the boundaries of Minecraft could be pushed and to try and draw a line as to what would be acceptable. The design had to ultimately be toned down multiple times due to said methaphorical line being crossed, and after many back-and-forths between the developers, the directors and art team, a design similar to the current one was landed on.
• Originally, should the player manage to be out of the warden's attack and pathfinding range, but still within its detection range, rather than using its ranged sonic boom attack, the warden was supposed to have a "mind-altering" attack that would cause the player to move erratically (walking forward would cause the player to go backwards, etc.) and deal damage overtime. The mechanic was eventually scrapped due to being deemed too complicated.
  • Other mechanics that were considered were having it destroy blocks or burrow through them. The former was rejected due to the developers wanting to limit the amount of "destructive" mobs there are in the game, and the latter was rejected due to being too difficult to implement.
• In the sixth episode of The Secrets of Minecraft, it was jokingly revealed that the warden's personal names are "Jonathan" and "William", depending on the scene, similar to how the player, ender dragon, and wither all have personal joke names. "Warden" itself was also jokingly broken down into "War! Dens!" in the description.
  • "Jonathan" can be seen on a blackboard for name suggestions alongside "the stalker" and "the hollowed".
  • It jokingly explained that the name "warden" was the result of calling it "William" and spelling it wrong.
    • In the tenth episode, both names were used when Narrator spotted the warden behind him. He mistakenly called the warden Jonathan before correcting himself as William, foreshadowing Jonathan Minecraft from the eleventh and final episode.
• Brandon Pearce stated in a tweet that the souls in the warden's chest is incredibly important to its lore.
  • He also stated that the warden is inspired by the "monster" heard at the end of the music disc "11".
• Coincidentally, in the spin-off game, Minecraft: Story Mode, there is an unrelated character also named The Warden.
