When I was 12, I was scared of Minecraft mobs and nighttime. Then, as I got better at the game, I got rid of that fear. Now, Mojang wants to bring it back with the Warden, apparently.

Jardon: It's been given an anti-cheese ranged attack mechanic Wisconsin: *Why are we still here...just to suffer?*

The “18 seconds” is likely to allow some leeway during an escape from a warden. Don’t necessarily need it to blast the player as soon as they climb up a few blocks that are part of the cave generation.

Mojang is going full dark souls with the deep dark

I'm glad Mojang is making the Warden op. Makes it feel like an actual monster instead of a mob you can cheese with dirty strats. Someone probably WILL find a loop around the Warden's mechanics at some point. But this mob genuenly makes me hype to play minecraft again, captures the same fear I felt when I encountered my first enderman. I like the challange too.

When the Warden gets angry, you can’t use the snowball mechanic cause it will endlessly chase you, and it doesn’t matter how far you go, it will chase you until the end of the universe!

In the Patch notes, Projectile Sounds (ie: Snowballs) cant be used repetively. If you throw a snowball, and then throw another within a 5 second timeframe, the Warden will anger to the origin of the snowball, in this case, you. If you release a snowball after the 5 second cooldown, it'll work as normal!

Now we know what it feels like to be targeted by a combustion man just like Aang was in Book 3. You may have a shield, but if only you had Sokka's boomerang

I believe each sound has a cooldown of sorts before you can distract it again, if you make too much noise, ergo throw a snowball too fast, it will just get angry.

I like that they added that attack feature for the warden. It will be much more difficult to fight them in the dark and fully geared netherrite players have some real challenge!

I for one am glad they added the anti-cheese ranged attack feature. Finally some good lactose intolerant representation.

This is the perfect anti-cheese mechanic! While busting through blocks would've been cool and fitting, I doubt they want more mobs with griefing capabilities.

I just thought of this, but now if you're playing multiplayer you can "prank" your friends (a.k.a ruin their lives) by hiding skulk sensors everywhere in their house/base.

Jordan I will say you did miss one thing in the previous snapshot or the one before. The ancient cities have a structure beneath the portal looking structure. You probably don't need to cover it, but if other people haven't seen others talk about the snapshot the area beneath the portal thing is a place to learn about redstone

As someone who's afraid of normal mobs (only got back to playing Minecraft recently) the Warden is definitely something I will avoid. Badly.

The warden: I'm the strongest mob in the game Mojang: Let's just keep making him stronger

After the update “keepinventory” is going to see a _lot_ more use.

Sneak 100 is honestly my favorite part of this Snapshot, gimme all the Skyrim References

Hope you feel well soon Jardon, me and my dad are sick too atm, hopefully we can pull through it together Edit: well shi- I got covid

I am getting increasingly concerned for the use of wardens in Decked Out 2.0. Ravagers could still be kept at bay if you blocked their sight, but this.....this scares me.

Imagine: The warden chasing you, but hopefully you find a block that you can crawl and escape, but then, the warden starts using his ranged attack. You remember that you're in hardcore world 2 years old and the next second is you dying... That's sad.

My idea with the range attack is that wool should be used as a shield/blocker for the attacks, so you can avoid the warden for good

holy frick, just when i thought the warden couldn't get any scarier i hope you feel better soon captain !!

This is insane! Definitely a good boss or gaurd for an adventure map, maybe for a future one of mine

The ranged attack has me very excited to fight The Warden, now that it's seemingly cheeseless have to come up with even more of a strategy, I've definitely got some ideas and the fact it's even more OP is going to make it even more rewarding to kill it, I don't care if your not supposed to it's all about the thrill of the hunt.

Man they REALLY don’t want us to kill this guy

*The OP strategy (also works for the Wither)...* 2-block pit bordered with obsidian and with an obsidian ceiling 1 block above said pit. This sets up for easy End Crystal attacks, which can deal over 80 damage.

Why is Mojang straight up making Allays invincible.... seems a bit broken tbh, why can't we have better regen on wolves or cats or parrots instead?

So this is what they meant by "The Warden will have something against the players that tower up." when they first introduced him. I have been so curious about it. Now my life is complete lol.

Just wanted to let you know that I greatly appreciate you continuing to do what you love to do. I watched your videos a long long time ago and whenever I feel down I always come back here to remind me of how good things used to be. I hope life is treating you well because you deserve it. All love to you cap

Considering it’s a Sonic Boom that goes through walls it should probably go through shields too. Also if the Warden notices it’s taking too long to kill a player if they’re using many shields to avoid being hit it should just do a Sonic Boom regardless.

Now the Warden just needs to be able to dig around to reach you EDIT: People seems to have taken this as a joke suggestion (which is fine ofc) but I mean literally, the Warden should be able to dig into the ground and appear around you if it can't pathfind to you.

Idk. Seems like it's too easy to die now. Imagine just trying to run away from it, it gets stuck, and then you get 1 shot from it. He says it had crazy range

Yo new Minecraft snapshot, gotta love it. Also hey Captain if ya see this, I used to watch your content alot as a kid and I just wanted to thank you for all the time you've put into your stuff. Also not gonna lie your Mianite series (probably misspelt it it's been awhile) definitely was one of the things that got me into storytelling and roleplay- so thank you!

Prot IV netherite players- I am invincible Warden- Allow us to introduce ourselves!

Hope you get better CaptainSparklez 🙏

warden is just raw nightmare fuel bro

Well, Looks like we're making Rooms full of dispensers with arrows in them for farms!

sandbox: a video game with a gameplay element that provides the player a great degree of creativity to interact with, usually without any predetermined goal. Nothing less sandbox than forced linear gameplay.

I hate how OP Warden is. Not because it's strong, but because we don't have the gear to combat that. They introduce a new material much stronger than diamond, then they make it practically useless against the Warden. I feel like their idea if making the game interesting and/or challenging is just adding overpowered bosses that one shot you. They need to balance it out, maybe make a better fighting system, add more weapons, make fighting feel like a role much like in Terraria or something to compensate for how beefy the Warden is

This is actually sort of annoying, not because I intended to cheese the Warden's mechanics, but because I intended to use him as a security system behind a piston door that would release him if a wrong password was entered. Now, that's not gonna work because he'll just shoot through the door.

I wonder if there will be a way to weaponize Wardens in mob farms… That would be something to look forward to trying. Also, hope you get better soon, Cap!

I think the reason why the Worden was ignoring the snowballs was because everytime you place you're shield on defense mode, it makes a sound that reaches the Worden. 🤔 (There was little sparks of blue going to the Worden every time he put his shield up)

bro every once in a while i take a look at jordan and it makes me happy, that smile, him growing up, me growing up, its just, i dunno a good feeling to know hes still loved and viewed after all these years

Feel like they need to change the attack passing through walls. You should be able to go somewhere the Warden can't get to you without it "cheesing" *you.*

hope you feel better soon :)

Hope you feel better soon Cap!

Thx for the update Cap. Get some rest and feel better. 🙏

I actually like how your voice sounds now. You should try to get sick more often!

With the snowballs space them out more than 5 seconds or the warden will get angry at you

I hope you feel better soon!!! Also these are very cool features. I'm very excited, especially for the allay!!!

5:18 I can already see this being a part of Twitch Rivals advancement bingo Allays being fixed is great news! Nice to hear that Mojang is actively improving their work.

This will make the Warden a MUCH bigger threat! Also, get well soon, Jordan!

This is so cool! I wonder if it'd be possible to trap the warden Get well soon cap!

Hope you feel better soon, Captain

“When the squad hops into town” feels like it’s a Easter egg reference to where Naruto summoned himself along side his toad buddies to fight against Pain in the crater within the village hidden in the leaf

Speedie recovery Cap and thanks for the snapshot enjoyed it alot 😀 👍

Hope you do get better, Jordan! Plus cool video as always!

Hope you feel better soon 💕

Fun fact the warden was insired by the monster in disc 11 and has 250 heart and will stop at nothing

That's crazy, I love it. I really wanna see speedruns of people beating the warden :D

personaly making the wardon tough is great, make him a challenge, but this might be just a little to far.

i hope you feel better!

it should be able to climb and tunnel as well. just imagine, you tower up and it begins to climb your tower. if you block off the warden climbing it'll do the boom attack. if you have a thick wall between you and the warden he will tunnel through. just imagine, you're eating some food and trying to regen when his head pokes through the wall

Is it just me, or does sick jordan sound like jordan doing an older brother character voice?

Yeeaahhh... my happy butt is staying on the overworld, thank you 😆 Also, hope you feel better soon Cap ♥️

My plan for the warden is to pearl hang before I encounter it, bc of the darkness effect turning render distance down to 2 or 3 won't do much, but if im about to die i can just switch up my render and teleport right away.

Feel better soon! Glad to see them up the difficulty with the warden. It definitely looks more fitting now.

They should do something similar to iron golem tbh

As excited as I am for this update, I do feel like we're straying further and further from what Minecraft should be.

i hope u feel better jardong and take care thank you for making this video even tho u are sick.

They should add a wrench/screwdriver style item. + Echo Shard SONIC SCREWDRIVER

I'm so happy they did this, I remember a while ago that I came up with a concept about how the Warden should shoot a projectile if It cant reach the player, however, there are a few things I hope It can do In the future. 1) After It detects a player that is up high rather than straight away firing projectiles it will attempt to climb the wall (Similar to a spider but slower) however If it can't climb the wall because maybe the player has built slightly over the edge of the wall it will then fire its projectile at the player, 2) If you completely block off the warden in a tunnel and there is no other path for it to take to follow you, It would be cool If it infected the wall with skulk veins and will be able to pass through the walls covered in skulk vein in a similar fashion to how it came out of the ground. I want the warden to be as overpowered as possible and I don't want it to be cheesed in any way, While the projectile going through walls is great and all, I still want the warden to be able to chase you, Additionally, I think that its projectile rather than going through walls should follow along the walls, This way you can see it coming if you are in a narrow tunnel with lots of sharp turns similar to an actual sonic wave?

i would love if the warden would be able to burrow back into the ground when players try to hide underground, since the underground is the wardens domain it only makes sense and then of course it would chase you underground like what if it just randomly appeared in your tunnels underground from hole that is burrows down from to find you.

Hope you feel better soon captain!

the heartbeat speeds up as it gets angrier, and if it's very angry then it will get angry at you for throwing a snowball instead of chasing it. that way, you cant just constantly throw snowballs to distract it

The sonic blast goes through walls but somehow can't go through shields, only disabling them instead

Jardon: The Warden is now 10x scarier! Me: Nah, maybe just 2x or 3x! Warden: *sonic booms Jardon GOOD, even through blocks!!* Me: ... Yeah ok 10x sounds about right!

I like how the Sneak 100 Advancement references Skyrim The Advancement fits so well with it.

Hope you get better soon!

I feel the warden needs its new attack to be re-balanced. This is what I suggest: It deals maybe half Damage, its knock back is doubled and when blocking with a shield, you only prevent damage and reduce knock-back. You still take at least 2 blocks knock-back. Also the attack should be aimed at the place the warden last heard you, as The wardens smell sense is for when it is not aggravated. Whilst its find to be an aoe attack, the attack should move in a narrow cone shape, if it does not do so already. A wall 3 blocks thick should prevent this attack from penetrating it, and the attack should not be able to penetrate more than 1 1 or 2 block thick walls. Blocks which are not full blocks (e.g stairs, cauldrons, fences) do not have any effect, as well as transparent blocks (e.g leaves and glass) A 1 block thick barrier would be all that was required if that wall was made of wool blocks, however. In addition to this re-work, I also propose the warden be given the ability to dig through walls, similar to the warden’s spawning and despawning animations. This would be a better way to counter players hiding behind walls. I also think that when the warden enters its rage state, it shouldn’t just know your location, it only knows that if you do something that makes noise at your location. Even if its angry, it should still chase snowballs and mobs just as much as it should chase you. Perhaps another ability it could have, would be a stomp ability. This would send out a signal to all skulk blocks connected to the one the warden is stood on, and will feed back the location of any entities currently stood on another connecting skulk block. I want the warden to be Op with varied and clever abilities that the player has to think about to overcome. This change doesn’t do anything other than make it harder to cheese the warden by just giving it an impossible to dodge ranged attack. I don’t just want to fear the warden, I want it and its mechanics to intrigue me.

This is great. But can wool save you? What about wool armour? Or a special head enchantment against the warden? Or is this a permanent deterrent?

Hope you get well soon

theyre easy to underestimate. i went into a city with full prot 4 netherite and the thing still obliterated me. also i was sneaking the whole time it was spawned and it still sniffed me out. just run as fast as u can in the opposite direction when you hear one spawning

Ok so they gave a mob a mechanic of being attracted to sound and then just made it able to sniff you and chase you and is virtually impossible to beat Yeah i remember seing that mojang want to make all deaths preventable but this is virtually impossible to beat

Real talk idk if the loot u get from deep dark chests is like worth it anymore. Like I can just go to the end kill the push over of a dragon and then just find end city stuff. I understand it's supposed to be a challenge and all which is actually really cool it just doesnt seem rewarding u know. Like tell me when would u go down to the deep dark before the very endgame (for like a final challenge) where the loot is now obsolete. I think they need to rethink the reason for players to go down there so that they are actually encouraged to take on the challenge

get better soon captain

capt, I think Mojang made it so it can triangulate your position by the snowball pattern if you throw more than one in the same spot

20 blocks is kind of much, you already cant see from darkness debuff, and it does insane damage. It should be 10-15 max. 20 just seems.. A bit much?

All this for a compass that tells you where you died

i hope you feel better soon king

I thought a soul spitter would be cool, but the sonic boom is better.

how much health does the warden have again?

Imma just die when the warden spawns

Get well soon Mr. Captin

Hope u get better soon, great video!

I’m never gonna want to go mining ever again

The warden is just more advanced now because people complained it was too easy

Love your videos! Get feeling better!

this Reminds me of the 1.11 woodland update snapshot bro! Makes me happy :)
