What is a Warden in Minecraft?

Warden is a powerful hostile mob that resides below the overworld in the Deep Dark biome. It is also the first blind mob of Minecraft that relies on vibrations, smell, and audio cues to find its prey.

Warden only spawns within the Deep Dark biome. It is a new biome of Minecraft 1.19 update and is located below the overworld. You can find it only below the height level below Y=-15. Moreover, the most common location where the Warden can be summoned is the Ancient City. It’s the main structure that generates in this biome and has amazing loot within it.

If you somehow are unable to find the biome even after mining and exploring, there is an unconventional way. You can enter the following Minecraft command in your chat section to locate the Deep Dark biome:

Unlike other hostile mobs, Warden doesn’t spawn naturally even in its home biome. The Warden only spawns if the sculk shrieker block detects your presence three times. You can get away with making accidental noise and vibrations two times. But when you do that for the third time, the Sculk Shrieker will summon the Warden.

This block also gives you the darkness effect each time you trigger it, making it even harder to navigate the already dark area. So, make sure to keep the Potion of Night Vision handy to get some of your vision back.

How Does the Sculk Shrieker Work?

The sculk shrieker follows these game mechanics to function:

Once you have triggered the sculk shrieker, it takes about 5 seconds for the Warden to start spawning. It digs its way out of a nearby solid block and immediately starts searching for the player. If you accidentally touch the Warden on spawn, it will immediately target and attack you in Minecraft 1.19. So, make sure to keep your distance and run away when it spawns.
