Overview
The warden is blind and hunts entirely by vibration, so sneaking, wool floors and thrown snowballs to misdirect it are the real mechanics. It hits for 30 on Normal, enough to kill a player in full netherite in two blows, and its sonic boom ignores armour, blocks and enchantments entirely at up to fifteen blocks. It cannot be outrun in a straight line and it digs after you. Do not fight it: sneak past, and never break a sculk shrieker without Silk Touch.
In Minecraft, Warden is classified as a boss mob. It has 500 health points, or 250 hearts. On Normal difficulty each hit costs you 30 damage.
It is worth 5 XP.
