The Secrets of Minecraft: How We're Making the Warden

War! Dens! What groundbreaking videogame could bring everyone’s two favourite things together? Why, your old pal Minecraft of course! Discover why we gave the warden (coming to Minecraft 1.19) a sense of smell but not a nose, what we almost named it instead, and the most terrifying concept art ever. Enjoy!

It would be cool if when you use a name tag labelled “William” on a warden it becomes a dancing warden

[DrBreyn]

4:03 "You will never have to encounter the Warden"
- Oh I know exactly what I will try to bring to the surface for my friends

[Triggered]

I love how Mojang doesn’t take themselves too seriously

[stabby]

There NEEDS to be an achievement for killing the Warden called “Prison Break”

[YelloWool]

Seeing all the old designs is really cool, holy…

[xisumavoid]

Amazing video! Loved the concept art <3

0:56 These guys are really self-aware and I really enjoy that

[supercat]

Idea: naming a warden “William” will give it a tophat and neutralize it. If you were to then play a music disc, it dances.

"the most horrific feature in Minecraft"

"The combat"

This has me wheezing xD

[psy]

Narrator: "Let me introduce Minecraft's most horrific feature yet."

Phantom: *Laughs in insomnia*

[gwenethp]

I'm really glad they didn't do the trypophobia design, even as someone who loves body horror. If they did do it I'd hope they'd allow for an alternative for those who suffer from tryophobia.

[MadnessIncVP]

M.A.R.I.L.L.A: _”Where’s your soul?”_
Meanwhile, in Subcon Forest, Snatcher tells Hat Kid (who he has admitted he “will tolerate”) a tale of the time he visited the Minecraft world.

[gavalant]

Narrator: "time to talk about Minecraft's most horrific feature yet"
Marilla: *"The Combat!"*

This hits hard for every pre 1.9 PvP player...

[Marcotz]

If you place a jukebox with a disc, Warden will dance, and then you can explore the dark biome.
Can't wait for the update Minecraft.

[TheAdvertisement]

1:34 "a six-sided snitch" is the most underrated line.

[_zbenja]

-allow me to introduce you to minecrafts most horrific feature yet
-the combat
I almost spit out everything from laughter

[cob]

If the skulk used the trypophobia design, it would genuinely become a true horror game.

[crisperstorm]

Wardens cool, wish the sensor still looked like the original reveal it was so creepy and twitchy before

[kangaroot_]

I actually had a dream this night about the 1.19 update. I was just mining for diamonds and found the biome, i fell down and the sculk sensor went off and i ran to the biome. There were like 5 wardens and i hid, found a chest, and found 40 enchanted iron ingots, an enchanted diamond chestplate and some nice iron boots. (don't ask) it was a double chest (again, don't ask) and i created a perfect distraction when they ran after me. I just placed down a jukebox and played chirp on it and ran away... Then i woke up
