A Warden is an extremely powerful but easily avoidable hostile mob summoned by sculk shriekers in the deep dark biome. It attacks by swinging its arms downward, dealing the strongest melee damage of all mobs, and can also release a sonic boom attack that immediately strikes the target, piercing through obstacles and deals damage that cannot be reduced except by the Resistance effect. Wardens are completely blind and rely on vibrations, smell, and touch to detect players and mobs to attack, and can therefore be evaded via sneaking, diversions (snowballs, arrows, etc.) and wool.

Spawning

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

Wardens do not use standard mob spawning mechanics. They are instead spawned when a player activates naturally generated sculk shriekers four times and if there isn't already another warden within 24 blocks of it. A warden spawns by emerging 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 emerges after the fourth activation. The light level does not have an effect on warden spawning.

Up to 20 attempts are made to spawn a warden within an 11×13×11 cubic area, which is centered on the shrieker. During each attempt, the game picks a random column from the y axis, 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 (the spawning warden cannot collide with any existing entities or liquids; wardens must not have water inside their spawn block, where their feet go, but they can spawn with water in the second and third block. For example, a pressure plate with water flowing on top is still a valid location).

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

Drops

A warden drops a single sculk catalyst upon death, unaffected by Looting. It also drops 5 experience if killed by either a player or a tamed wolf.

Behavior

A warden is blind and seeks out targets by sensing vibrations 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. A 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 or mobs, wardens become increasingly agitated.

Idle

A warden can fit inside 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 pursue through blocks that are usually avoided by other mobs, including rails, cacti, or magma blocks.

A 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 heartbeat that occurs in tandem with the Darkness effect. The heartbeat speeds up as the warden becomes increasingly agitated. A warden prefers to track down the most suspicious targets, rather than the ones closest to it.

A 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 vibrations from a sneaking player that is moving, jumping, falling or shooting a projectile. A warden has a 2-second cooldown between detecting vibrations.

A 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 pathfinds toward 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 seconds cooldown. A warden can still sniff out sneaking players, despite that they cannot detect vibrations from them.

Suspense

Wardens keep track of how angry they are at each suspect as a number from 0 to 150. When a warden notices a vibration, it adds anger to the player or 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 from the same player/mob 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 modes, the target or warden leaves the dimension, or if the target dies.

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

When it finishes sniffing, a 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. A 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.

A 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, a warden burrows back into the ground and despawns, unless it has been named. If the warden is floating on a liquid, it instead immediately despawns without any burrowing animation. During its emerging/burrowing animation, a warden cannot detect any vibrations, and can take damage only from /kill, though it can still be pushed by entities, pistons, or liquids. Named wardens do not dig or despawn. The only exception to this rule are wardens spawned as part of a team‌ through the /summon command immediately digs and despawn upon spawning, ignoring everything else in the process regardless of whether it spawned with a name, with PersistenceRequired:1 or not.

Attacks

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

The Warden's sonic boom attack

If a warden cannot reach its target, it switches to its ranged attack: a 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 blocks vertically of the warden.

The sonic boom aims directly at the target, making it impossible to dodge, passing through blocks and other mobs without damaging them. A warden takes 1.7 seconds to charge and unleashes the attack, which instantly hits the target as long as the target is within attack range. 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 status effect can reduce this attack's damage.

Sounds

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

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.
					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.

A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water. Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them. Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners. When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried. Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]]. <gallery> File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall banners File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground </gallery> Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s. If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed. === Helmet === {{exclusive|java|section=13}} While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}. === Chestplate === {{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}} While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player.

The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield. {{Crafting |showdescription=1 |Shield |Matching Banner; Ominous Banner |Output=Matching Shield; Ominous Shield |B2link=Banner |type=Combat |description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no pre-existing patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield. }} === Copying === Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner. {{Crafting |showdescription=1 |Matching Banner |Matching Banner |Output=Matching Banner |A2link=Banner |B2link=Banner |Olink=Banner |type=Decoration block |ignoreusage=1 |description=Copies pattern; both banners must have the same base color, and the one having a pattern copied onto it must have no preexisting pattern. }} === Map marker === [[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]] {{exclusive|java|section=13}} {{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker. === Patterns === {{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}} [[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]] A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion). Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]]. A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input. <code><nowiki>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code> {{LoadPage|Template:Banner pattern loom recipes|Loom recipes|h4}} {{LoadPage|Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes|Crafting recipes|h4|transcluded=1}} === Renaming === {{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block. === Fuel === Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner. === Note Blocks === Banners can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds. == Sounds == === Generic === {{Sound table/Block/Wood}} ===

Trivia == * With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted). ** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns. * If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]]. * The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption". ** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''. * [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner. ** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner. ** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side. ** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent. * Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click. *The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner. **Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0. **Illager variant is set to type 1. == Gallery == <gallery> Banners Jeb.png|The first image of banners, as tweeted by Jens Bergensten.

1.19.0 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Debug Stick|Debug Stick]]<br/>{{about|the item|other uses|Debug}} {{exclusive|java}} {{Item | image = Debug Stick.gif | rarity = Epic | renewable = No | stackable = No }} The '''debug stick''' is an [[item]] used to edit the [[block states]] of [[block]]s. It is visually identical to a regular [[stick]], but with a glint (as if [[Enchanting|enchanted]]). == Obtaining == The debug stick is obtainable via [[commands]] such as {{cmd|/give}} or {{Cmd|/item}}, or the Creative inventory if the player has the appropriate permissions. It can be obtained only in worlds with cheats on. == Usage == The debug stick can be used to change block states. {{control|Hitting}} the block allows players to select the block state key they wish to change, for an example, switching between the ''conditional'' and the ''facing'' block state keys for a [[command block]]. {{control|Using}} the block allows them to cycle through the valid values for the block state key, again as an example, the player can make the command block face, ''down'', ''east'', ''north'', ''south'', ''up'', or ''west'' if they chose the ''facing'' block state key. {{control|Sneaking}} while {{control|hitting}} or {{control|using}} cycles through the block state keys or values in reverse order. It is notable that {{Control|using}} debug stick directly on an interactive block without {{Control|sneaking}} uses the block itself instead of the stick.<ref>{{bug|MC-200199}} </ref> The debug stick cannot be used while in Survival or Adventure mode. It works only in creative mode with cheats enabled. In modes other than Creative, it acts like a regular item — although when {{control|using}} it on a block, the player swings the stick as if interacting with it (but nothing happens). == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Debug Stick |spritetype=item |nameid=debug_stick |form=item |foot=1}} === Item data === <div class="treeview"> * {{nbt|compound|tag}}: The item's '''tag''' tag. {{:Player.dat_format/Debug Sticks}} </div> == History == {{History|java}} {{History||1.13|snap=17w47a|[[File:Debug Stick.gif|32px]] Added debug sticks.}} {{History||1.16|snap=20w10a|Debug sticks are now capable of editing [[fire]] due to its added hitbox.}} {{History||1.19.3|snap=22w44a|The debug stick is now available in the creative inventory, but only if cheats are enabled.}} {{History|||snap=22w45a|Moved the debug stick behind the Operator Utilities tab in the creative inventory.

Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down. Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five. The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second. == Behavior == Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are: * The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]]. * A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]]. * An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window. ** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped. * A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside. The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it. Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]]. When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size. Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks. Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface. Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}} If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there. Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]]. Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command. === Damage === Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items. === Despawning === Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}. Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]]. == Sounds == {{Edition|Java}}:<br> Item Entities use the Ambient/Environment sound category for entity-dependent sound events. {{Sound table |nocat=1 |sound=Pop.ogg |subtitle=Item plops |source=player<!--Even when not picked up by player--> |description=When an item is picked up |id=entity.item.pickup |translationkey=subtitles.entity.item.pickup |volume=0.2 |pitch=1.6-3.4 <ref group=sound>0.6-3.4 for using {{cmd|give}} and items from advancement rewards</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=fizz.ogg |nocat=1 |subtitle=Burning |source=ambient |description=When an item is destroyed by [[lava]], but not [[fire]]<ref>{{bug|MC-36538}}</ref> |id=entity.generic.burn |translationkey=subtitles.entity.generic.burn |volume=0.4 |pitch=2.0-2.4 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |rowspan=2 |sound=Pop.ogg |source=player |description=When an item is picked up |id=random.pop |volume=0.25 |pitch=0.6-2.2}} {{Sound table |source=player |description=When an item is dropped |id=random.pop |volume=0.3 |pitch=0.55-0.75}} {{Sound table |sound=fizz.ogg |source=block |description=When an item is destroyed by lava, but not fire |id=random.fizz |volume=0.5 |pitch=1.8-2.4 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{editions|java}}: {{ID table |generatetranslationkeys=java |displayname=Item |spritename=items |spritetype=env |translationtype=entity |nameid=item |foot=1}} {{editions|bedrock}}: {{ID table |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=bedrock |displayname=Item |spritename=items |spritetype=env |translationtype=entity |nameid=item |id=64 |foot=1}} === Entity data === {{see also|Chunk format}} Dropped items 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]]. == History == {{History|java classic}} {{History||0.24 Resource Test|In the first public mention of item entities, {{ytl|OP3jzMWJmu8|this early video of Minecraft (Classic 0.24) by Notch}}, they were referred to as "resources".<ref name="resources">{{ytl|YIm_AKUbqh8}} Early video of Minecraft (Classic 0.24) by Notch referring to item entities as "resources"</ref>}} {{History||August 4, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/155882307/a-video-showing-what-i-did-today-are-vids-like|Items were showcased by [[Notch]] in a blog post.}} {{History||0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST|Added items to the game. |Items currently take the form of destroyed [[block]]s. |Items currently pulse white (similar to the selection cursor).<ref name="resources"/> |Instead of appearing as shrunken down blocks, items use pixels the same size as block pixels.}} {{History|java indev}} {{History||0.31|snap=20091231-2|Dropped items don't spin and don't glow white anymore. |Dropped items now appear as shrunken down blocks. |Items no longer prevent the placement of blocks but instead are moved to the nearest chunk. {{info needed}} |Non-block items added (as sprites); they now rotate to face the [[player]].}} {{History||?|Dropped items now spin again.}} {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|[[File:Oversized items.png|100px|right]][[File:In awe at the size of these fluids.png|100px|right]] A bug causing many item forms of blocks to be displayed at the {{frac|1|2}} scale rather than {{frac|1|4}} was fixed.

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".
• Brandon Pearce considers the warden as something entirely new as it isn't a boss or a mini boss or a regular enemy but a force of nature: "when a tornado is barreling towards you, you don't try to kill it - you run away! The warden is exactly the same."
• Brandon's thought process on finally giving the warden a drop after he was heavily against it was the warden should never drop something that is important or hard to get that would be worth going through the trouble of fighting it. In this case, fighting a warden is not worth a sculk catalyst. This change was made for renewability farms and tech players.
• When Chi Wong was working the warden's digging animation he wanted to make sure the timing was right and make sure while it was going down, it's not going down like an elevator, but it actually digs, and the feeling Chi wanted to convey with it is it has tons of rage, it is annoyed, and it wants to go down.
• The warden is the most concepted and worked through mob in Minecraft in terms of sound design. When Brandon was first developing the warden, sound design was important to him, and the warden was designed with that in mind.
• While designing the warden, Brandon wanted to hear the player's "heartbeat" as the warden got closer for anticipation but he thought that it felt out of place and didn't make sense to hear the player's heartbeat. His solution was for something else to make the heartbeat, and thus the warden gained a heartbeat. It was also a design choice to mimic some really interesting sound design without breaking immersion. It also adds more to the warden itself and lore reasons as to why a warden has a heartbeat.
• 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 Studios gameplay 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 metaphorical 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.
• The warden also had a number of other mechanics and abilities planned:
  • If the player managed to get out of the warden's attack and pathfinding range but still be within its detection range, the warden would use 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.
  • The warden would destroy blocks or burrow through them. The former was rejected due to the developers wanting to limit the number of "destructive" mobs there are in the game and the latter was rejected due to being too difficult to implement.
  • The warden could hide the player's hunger bar and health bar.
  • Brandon Pearce wanted the warden to be immune to damage to discourage players from fighting it, but he didn't think that would work for a sandbox game.
• The warden would originally burn when exposed to daylight.
• In the Bedrock Beta/Preview 1.18.30.32 the warden would dig back down when exposed in daylight but it was changed so the warden doesn't dig back down but stays when exposed to daylight in Beta/Preview 1.19.0.20.
• The warden and sculk were inspired by Lovecraftian horror as the developers wanted to make something that wasn't in the traditional scary like jumpscares and etc. but in a mysterious and unknown scary.
• In the fifth episode of Minecraft Now, it was revealed by Jasper Boerstra that the warden went through over 175 different concept iterations and they have explored everything because they wanted the warden to be something really special and also for it to be scary, beautiful, ugly, cute, and have some empathy.
• 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, the ender dragon or the 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, who appears in the eleventh and final episode leading into Around the Minecraft World in 80 Biomes.
• Brandon Pearce stated in a tweet that the souls in the warden's chest is important to its lore.
  • He also stated that the warden is inspired by the mystery 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.
• Even if the player wears a full set of Netherite armor and all four gears contain Protection IV resulting in a 80% damage reduction cap, the player will still more likely to die first as the Warden only needs to hit the aforementioned player exactly four times, assuming no potion effect is in play.
• An interesting fact is that if you invert the colors of the axolotl, the color palette is like that of the warden. It is unknown if this is intentional or a coincidence.
