Minecrafts Warden Receives Yet More Buffs In The 119 Prerelease

The Minecraft 1.19 release date is it seems, in the near future. Let it sing The next big update has a chunk of exciting things to look at, including the likes of frogs, the new mob made of allay, and the terrifying Minecraft Warden. Each brings something a little bit different to the game, but in the case of the Warden, at the very least, it seems Mojang really wants it to scare us.

If you don't believe us go through the most recent notes for Minecraft 1.19 pre-release 3. that almost immediately followed pre-release 2 presumably because of the Warden's requirements. While the majority of the notes are about bug fixes, there's some Warden changes that are worth noting. The first is that if a Warden gets stuck in a liquid, it will now angrily die instead of digging. We don't know exactly how it is able to angrily despawn but it's something that we're excited to witness.

Another significant change, and it was the one that specifically was added to version 3 of the prerelease, is that Wardens' Sonic blast attack now avoids damage reduction with armour spells such as Protection. This makes Warden slightly more intense because it shows Mojang would prefer this enemy to be avoided instead of being getting cheesed.

While many of the smaller bugs are quite specific, it's worth noting that mobs appear to appear more frequently in Nether Portals, which means they're ripping through the fabric of space and time often. Mojang is working on stopping this in a later version however they "will not be making any changes to this prior to the release of 1.19."
