The Guardian is an underwater hostile mob. It also has a larger, grey, mini-boss variant called the Elder Guardian.
Spawn
Guardians only spawn naturally in and around ocean monuments. They require water to spawn.
Guardians spawn less often in ocean open to the sky than they do in covered areas (i.e. inside the monument). Specifically, spawning will fail 95% of the time if the spawning water block is below Y=63, all blocks between the spawning water block and Y=63 are liquid or fully transparent, and the block at Y=63 has a view of the sky. Above Y=63, spawning will fail 95% of the time if the spawning water block has a view of the sky.
Drops
Guardians drop 0 to 1 prismarine crystals, 0 to 2 prismarine shards, and 0 to 1 raw fish.
Guardians have a 2.5% chance of dropping a rare drop when killed by the player. The chance of which fish you get is identical to catching fish: 60% chance for raw fish, 25% chance for raw salmon, 2% chance for clownfish, and 13% chance for pufferfish.
Looting increases the maximum prismarine shard drop by one per level. The chance of getting a raw fish drop is 50% with Looting I (2/4), 60% with Looting II (3/5), and 67% with Looting III (4/6). The chance of getting a rare drop is also increased by 0.5% per level.
The prismarine crystals drop will only happen if the common raw fish drop fails, with the same chances as the raw fish drop. This works out to a base chance of 22% (2/9), Looting I giving 25% (4/16), Looting II dropping down to 24% (6/25), and Looting III giving 22% (8/36), which is the same as the base chance.
Behavior
Guardians swim around in water, attacking any players or squids that come into sight. They swim in abrupt charges, moving their tail rapidly when doing so. When swimming, their spikes retract. When not swimming they sink slowly and their spikes extend.
The Guardians' eye follows and stares at any nearby players, and always looks directly at its target. The eye still follows a completely unarmored player under the effects of a Potion of Invisibility, but the Guardian won't attack them. However, Guardians still attack squids under that same status effect.
When out of water, Guardians angrily squeak at the player while flopping about. They do not suffocate in air and can live indefinitely out of water. They will quickly move towards the nearest water source, at which point they swim away.
Combat
Guardians have two methods of attack: a laser and a defensive thorn-like attack. Unlike most other hostile mobs, a Guardian will not follow the player if they move out of sight. Instead, it will simply continue swimming until the player becomes visible again, and will then start to charge its attack.
The laser takes several seconds to charge, doing no damage in the meantime, and changing from purple to bright yellow. Once charged, the beam abruptly ends and deals 6
damage in Normal difficulty. Guardians will swim around for a few seconds before firing again. If the target comes near the guardian while it is firing its beam, it will stop firing and swim away until it is at a comfortable range, at which point it will continue attacking. The beam cannot be dodged, and has a maximum range of approximately 15 blocks. Once the player is out of range, or if the beam is obstructed by solid blocks, the guardian's beam will disengage from the player, and deal no damage.
It seems that the Guardian's laser attack is not fully affected by armor damage reduction. While a Guardian does 9
of damage (hard difficulty) to an unarmored player, it deals 5 to a player in diamond armor - one would expect that the attack would get reduced to 2 of damage. That means that while Guardian attack stats do not look very impressive, it still deals more damage to players wearing armor than other mobs with higher stats, although using enchanted armor can still reduce damage further.
Guardians deal 2 damage each time it is hit when its pufferfish-type spikes are extended. If cornered, the Guardian will usually extend its spikes and fire at the player, even at point blank range.

A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}}
Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment.
=== Crafting ===
Most tools can be obtained through crafting.
{{:Crafting/Tools}}
=== Upgrading ===
[[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading.
{{Smithing
|head=1
|Netherite Upgrade
|Diamond Pickaxe; Diamond Axe; Diamond Shovel; Diamond Hoe
|Netherite Ingot
|Netherite Pickaxe; Netherite Axe; Netherite Shovel; Netherite Hoe
}}
== Usage ==
=== Best tools ===
{{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}}
Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold.
=== Item durability ===
{{main|Durability}}
Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite.
Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners.
=== Item enchantability ===
Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold.
=== Smelting ===
{{main|Smelting}}
Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s.
{{Smelting|showname=1|head=1|Any iron tools|Iron Nugget|0,1}}
{{Smelting|showname=1|foot=1|Any golden tools|Gold Nugget|0,1}}
; Fuel
* Wooden tools can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per tool.
* A [[fishing rod]] can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5{{only|java|short=1}}/1{{only|bedrock|short=1}} items per fishing rod.

== Issues ==

== Trivia ==
* Gold tools are actually ranked as superior to diamond tools on the [[Legacy Console Edition]]'s crafting screen.
* Wooden tools can be burned in a furnace regardless of its durability; this means the player can burn a wooden tool that has only 1 use left.

Trivia
- A guardian's eye is actually the "head" part of the mob's model. This gives the illusion of a dynamic eye.
- Underwater, Guardians emit deep, growl-like sounds, but on land they emit high-pitched squeaks. This probably reflects the fact that water can alter sounds.
- Guardians' laser-beam attacks are affected by the Potion of Strength, which normally only affects melee attacks of mobs.
- When placed or spawned on a slime block, Guardians will start bouncing and continue, each bounce higher than the last, until each bounce brings the Guardian to 17 blocks height.
- In the image of the 3D model, 'jeb' is written on the picture.
- If summoned with {NoAI:1}, the Guardian's eye still follows the player.
