Mojang: “We’ve made Minecraft harder than ever!” Ilmango: “Hardest decision… farm Warden, or just turn them off completely “

The update has literally just come out and he already figured a way to stop the only danger in it.

I just built this in hardcore and I gotta say that it's working perfectly, I have been running around an ancient city triggering so many sculk sensors and no wardens spawned. Thank you!

There is a special place in my heart for technical builders who do tutorials in survival. Well done.

this works because the warden gets tired of you phoning him every 10 seconds and puts his phone on silent

Defo building this, so smart 👏

Mojang: *adds warden* Ilmango: *removes warden*

Illmango is out here solving world hunger, while I'm stuck figuring out how to design a 3x4 piston door on bedrock.

Yes disabling Warden spawning still works in Java Edition 1.20.1. I built this and it worked for the Ancient City I built it in but the chunk loader didn't keep wardens from spawning in Ancient Cities 1000's of blocks away. Subsequently, I built it in the spawn chunks and it has disabled all Wardens in my world. Also I recommend The Archivists farm to disable the Warden as its even easier for 1.20.1.

I would also consider grabbing a comparator output with a 200+ tick pulse extender to verify whether the shieker is still screaming, and automatically turn off the system when it stops working. The benefit of this being you could also optionally set up an ender pearl stasis chamber and have it bring you back if it manages to break.

I am going to call this a "Shrieker Muter" It's catchy, and applicable.

I literally spent all week trying to get this to work and I was going to make a video on it but then I see this lol. This is insane, it's so much simpler and smaller than the one I came up with

aaah, he acutally _meant_ 'simple' .. this being ilmango, I was half expecting smth like .. first you gotta get an elder guardian killed by the ender dragon, then you need two dozen name-tagged charged creepers ..

A love letter to ilmango and his content: For years minecraft has been the game I always seem to come back to, and everytime i return after a long break theres always a plethora of new content to stress over. But with ilmango holding my hand it always feels easier. No matter the farm, simple or complex, ilmango has an answer. No matter the challenge, easy or enduring, ilmango has resolve. No matter the update, wild or deep, ilmango has a solution. Cheers to you sir for constantly pushing the technical bar on behalf of the minecraft community. Your passion is truly cherished. Thank you

pretty good thumbnail tbh

I can't wait to see DocM77 use this exploit to take a leisurely walk through the new Hermitcraft Decked Out once it's done 😜

super glad youre finally doing a tutorial in survival you finally get the taste of the pain of digging and or misplacing blocks its also much better for those who want more than just concept/idea showcases

it works in 1.20 if anyone is wondering why it isnt working, first off check your nether (while your making it) if the comparator is activated (While building farm) make sure to take the items out of the hoppers in the nether side if there are any and replace and observer and comparator and trap door. and for anyone wondering you are suppose to hear warden sounds / Im assuming if you hear crawling out of the ground sounds then run and get to somewhere safe i guess.

As someone who really struggles to build things, I REALLY appreciate the step by step survival tutorial.

I feel like the subheading to this article would be: Minecraft devs despise him for this technique

Survival building tutorials are much more relateable

People like Mango keep the community progressing ❤️

I believe this is your BEST tutorial yet! Thank you…❤️. Explained perfectly.

Thought about this the moment I saw your previous video. Very cool stuff.

I've just cleared out an ancient city but fortunately, I missed one of the shriekers so I'll try this. Most of the loot isn't that great but I got 6 Notch apples (the first I've found in this world) and one Swift Sneak III book so it would be good to get more of those. It would also be entertaining to be able to walk around an ancient city without being on edge all the time. Excellent work as always, Ilmango. [Edit] This wasn't 100% effective. I built this and it did work but not perfectly. I made sure the chunk loader was working and went to the second nearest ancient city to my base. I was able to loot the whole city safely but two wardens did spawn at apparently random intervals over the course of about 40 minutes. Mostly the shriekers remained silent despite setting off numerous sensors but twice shriekers did shriek and summon a warden. The chunk loader was still working because without my doing anything, it was back to business after the wardens despawned. It wasn't a big deal but don't be too complacent using this.

Much appreciated for the survival guide! really helpful for average player like me. Don't sweat it even if you forgot some materials, we understand that you don't play survival that much.

This will be perfect for when I update my world! Thank you so much, much love

I love the memy titles/thumbnails. First you did crystal math and now this. I love it!

"Hope you have an extra Comparator and Observer" Me: To the Ancient City Redstone Room

11:45 u could use moss to instamine this area. It’s much faster

wow! just wow, i am a scardy cat. eg: around beta; i turned off mobs for 8 months until i had the cahunas to take them on. I will definitely do this! you are; and continue to be a massive legend.

Tested in version 1.20.6 and still works, great video and explanation.

Oh wow, It actually works perfectly. This is great, I can finally not worry about the one thing that can still kill me in my hardcore world! Btw this still works great in 1.20.1, and the only thing I changed was the chunk loader to the one shown in IanXoFour's Lazy mob switch (Silver fish) because I saw some comments saying that his was a bit unreliable when at a far distance.

For the thumbnail and title alone you deserve a like lol

Yooo, this is so good. Shot Ilmango, I got 11 Notch apples in 30 mins in my Hardcore World with this method. Works amazingly.

Love it! SciCraft -- cheesing MineCraft since 2014

I'd speculate that a different shrieker would have a chance of activating if it also had a skulk sensor that was the same distance away and activated on the same tick, but testing would be needed to confirm

How many people heard of this story? - Thief intentionally triggering a security system multiple times across multiple nights - Police/Workers of the place shows up to nothing - Police/Workers assume the system is broken and either disarm it or just ignore it. - Thief free to rob the place however they want. This is us with the Warden rn

Great job! I like the survival tutorial.

Also this survival tutorial is both really funny and really cute I loved it mango xd

You (and those you work with, won’t discredit them) are geniuses, this makes looting cities a lot easier and less time consuming. Thanks a ton!

Interesting trick :D Thank you for always sharing your knowledge about minecraft xD Mojang people are crying.

Loved the survival tutorial. 👍

fantastic. thanks for including the tutorial too

Thank you so much for this! I just built this in my world and its so nice knowing that no wardens can spawn.

ilmango is the only KZfaqr I'll watch clickbait from.

ilmango is simply too OP for MC. Period. Great video!

Been loving the new thumbnails lmao

If your dropper doesn't work properly, try to move it to another position. For example if it's in the left of the portal and doesn't work, try to put the dropper to the right of the portal, idk if I'm explaining well :(

Built this in my survival world and it works as intended, although I was scared by the warden noises for a while afterwards.

I came onto youtube to AFK for 10 mins because me and my friend had just set off 2 shriekers, and the first thing I see is this? Perfect timing

Thanks for the tetorial this is so useful

I had to re shoot some arrows into the wool because they disapeared/maybe I picked them up somehow??. Either way, once I re shot the arrows and closed it up its started working. Im looting the whole area now without any pesky wardens. BTW my server is on Java, it was 1.19 but I updated to 1.20.1 a few days ago. Found this Ancient Ruins and built this DE-WARDENER contraption all on 1.20.1. Hope this helps someone else as well. GL and Ty Mango as always =)

"This will probably be the last tutorial on this channel" famous last words

I **LOVE** you doing a "survival" tutorial... although it's not really necessary... But I guess just cuz I'm a fan of yours. Also: Would this work without the chunk loader if built in spawn chunks if you somehow had a AC in there? (i think my current seed WOULD have had one, but I updated from 1.18, I looked at it as a fresh 1.19 generation, just cuz I was curious, but didn't keep it because I didn't want to start a whole new world)

imagine if mojang makes the block place/break sound quieter when you're sneaking for consistency with not activating skulk sensors; i would love small details like this

Wardens just keep spawning when I go to a different shrieker

If this isn’t working for someone and you built in 1.19 and updated it to 1.20, then make sure there are items in the dropper to load far away chunks. Also, try replacing the sculk sensor and it should work. If it doesn’t work, and you built in 1.20 then make sure you made no mistakes while building it.

That tutorial reminded me of the "block battle" shorts on youtube where the entire point is that someone explains so confidently something that they just completely made up and isn't even a thing but the confidence makes people doubt themselves

Wake up babe, new ilmango tech.

Ilmango!! Your literally looking at mojang with smirked faced right now,you just keep making the warden way easier to handle and now your making these thing, your just a legend.

Side note, but I got the swift sneak enchant the day the update dropped and have been absolutely loving it with building. Flash forward to present day and I’ve begun a new world and holy smokes, it made it seem forever to build my mob farm.

ahh, thought it would have to do with the warden mob cap or something, but yeah, this is genious!

Literally the best thumbnail Ever😂

This mechanic could be used to make fairly simple wireless redstone, shame you can't move the shriekers that are able to summon.

UPDATE: So I'm an idiot. I made a copy of my hardcore world so I could spectate what was going on and after an hour of troubleshooting and checking my build, I gave up and assumed I'd have to rebuild it from scratch. For some reason, while laying in bed to go to sleep (obviously still frustrated af), I had the idea to check that the area I had dug out was the correct size. After all, in spectator mode, I observed the first warden always spawning in the area I had dug out and illmango never mentioned a warden was supposed to be down there. Checked today and sure enough, I had only dug out 6 blocks from below the shrieker, not 7. Once I removed the extra layer, replaced the arrows (they easily get picked up through the wool so always good to do this last), it worked beautifully. Another thing to note... my chunk loader wasn't working on the nether side. I don't know much about redstone but I had dug out an area so the redstoney stuff was all hanging except for the blocks placed in this tutorial. When I placed blocks below and on the side to mimic the way it was in the soul sand in the video, it began to work. Figured I'd mentioned this in case anyone else runs into a similar issue. Ugh, so bummed this didn't work in my harcore world. Especially after it took so MUCH time to link the portals since the ancient city is so close to my base and kept linking to my nether roof portal. The chunk loader is working, sticky piston with arrows were working, everything looked good! But as soon as I started walking around the same ancient city, shriekers kept going off and calling the warden. After reading the comments, it's possible the shrieker and chunk loader aren't in the same chunk but I'm feel too defeated to check right now.

Ilmango goated for all eternity

I love the title and thumbnail 😂

That thumbnail is hilarous

Ilmango has designed a Warden Switch.

I was worried for a second when I kept hearing warden noises fairly close to the build, but it is working

Ilmango has really been upping his title and cover image game lately.

So I tried to build this on my server. But it works the opposite of the intended purpose- It summons one Warden for every other Shrieker I touch. I realized that the Shrieker needs to be in the same chunk as the Nether portal (Aka chunk loader) for it work, otherwise the chunk will not load properly. It will cause you to summon the Warden once you touch any other Shrieker. This happens as soon as you step out of the machine parameter.

so we just have to build this machine multiple times to prevent warden frm spawning in multi player? so if there are 10 players in the server and we build 10 of these will the warden stop spawning for all of them?

Thanks a lot works like a charm

Nice machine. The deactivating the warden is gonna be fun. Would each player on the server have to activate their own Warden Switch/built it?

Between the neutering of the Warden and the abysmal global bad-word ban system, I swear Mojang need to start thinking more defensively and spend some cycles trying to anticipate this stuff instead of just implementing ticket features for points from their PM; Minecraft players are absurdly clever and will abuse absolutely anything presented.

Mojang: Here a new mob that has alot of hp, hits like a truck, has a ranged attack that goes through blocks but don't worry it's blind... but it can smell you ilmango: no

Ich finds immer schön deutsch-englische youtuber zu schauen haha

Mad lad strikes back

Now I know what Docm77 is gonna do when HC will update to 1.19

How does this farm work on a server? You mentioned you need multiple machines for multiple players, but how are those players "synced" to a specific machine? Is it that the farm uses their own arrows? Can then just shoot their arrows into the same machine so you don't need to build multiple?

Thank you for making An actual tutorial, if I was to build it myself, I'd probably spawn at least 3 wardens and die at least 6 times before getting iz right

ilmango is just a god amongst men, he is unstoppable

Ultimate cheese for the warden lmao

Why do arrows hitting wool trigger a sculk sensor when wool is supposed to muffle sound? Should we use a different block for the arrows in case that gets patched?

Minecraft: we gave you a new monster Ilmango: what monster? where?

This worked in a hit and miss manner - watched another video which adds a skulk sensor on either side of the shrieker - now it's 100% reliable!!!

Hey there, I found this really helpful, but I am having some issues. for some reason, the items in the hopper (overworld) are not getting replenished when one goes through the portal, and also, when I go out of a certain range of the machine, its stops working and sculk shriekers work.

IMPORTANT!!!! whenever you leave and return to your world, you must replace or go through the arrows, because otherwise the warden can spawn again

God Ilmango did it again :)

When the word is out that mango is inventing new devices, not even regular mobs dare to get close

Great video!!! I tried this on Bedrock but the arrows into wool didn't work but a trident into the sticky piston without the wool did work. I could not get the portal chunk loader to work. So it only worked for me within simulation distance of the setup.

Hey Mango! I just want to say thank you for this amazing design but also ask a few questions: So, I made this Warden switch into a warden farm aswell (portal based) and I've been using a carpetmod bot to chunkload it. There has been 3 occasions where I was terrified to death by warden spawning in my singleplayer hardcore world and I just want to know if the carpetmod bot is the problem, or maybe I built the design wrong (which I'm pretty sure I haven't). Anyways, thanks again and dw I got away from the warden and didn't lose my world haha

This is how you play Minecraft with adding some artistry to it!

If you're having reliability issues with this in 1.20.4, you can try making it more reliable by ensuring the entire contraption is within a single chunk. I was having reliability issues with this on a 1.20.4 fabric server. Ensuring everything is within the same chunk (shrieker, sensor, arrows, piston, hopper clock, chunk loader, etc.) increased the reliability to ~99%. Previously the arrows and the sensor & shrieker were in 2 different chunks. I was able to raid 8 ancient cities with just one warden spawning whereas previously I got several spawns while raiding a single ancient city.

So for a multiplayer server would you need one contraption for each player online or what exactly is the stipulation there?

I just watched the entire video and thx for the tip! 👍🥰

Waiting for a new version of this contraption :)

Thank you Ilmango, and happy new year. I can confirm this still works in 1.19.3. I had built this back in September 2022 and couldn't get it to work as any ancient city i visited, a warden would spawn. The issue I had was there were 2 wardens spawned in around the cave near the ancient city where i built the switch. Killing them (God bow from a safe distance) seemed to be the answer to the problem. Any one having issues check to see you don't have a warden spawned in as it may be constantly killing other mobs around it.
