Minecraft has a whole host of mobs, from the humble fish to the Ender Dragon itself. They fall into one of two categories: friendly and hostile. Where does that leave the Warden, then? What kind of mob is it? More importantly, can the Warden spawn in Peaceful mode in Minecraft?
Can the Warden Spawn in Minecraft’s Peaceful Mode? Answered
Let’s put that question to rest immediately: No, the Warden cannot spawn in Minecraft if Peaceful Mode is activated. So, if you have control over the difficulty and you’re not prepared for a Warden attack, you can toggle Peaceful Mode to make it disappear.
As to why this happens, it’s pretty simple, and we alluded to it earlier. In Minecraft, the Warden counts as a hostile mob. Scratch that—it’s a very hostile creature and will actively seek out other mobs to attack, from cows to you. It’s like a ping-pong ball going back and forth between mobs to harass.
How to Defeat a Warden in Minecraft
If you’re up for a challenge, the Warden can be defeated with a bit of ingenuity and a full set of Netherite armor enchanted with Protection and Netherite weapons.
- Build a trench.
You want this trench to be, at minimum, two blocks deep. Add trap doors around the edge of the trench and keep them open. Coax the Warden into the trench.
- Attack it from below.
Now build a second tunnel leading to the Warden. You’ll create a 1×2 window that’ll give you enough reach to attack the Warden’s feet.
- Finish it off with arrows.
Eventually, the Warden will wise up and start attacking you with ranged attacks. That’s your cue to step back until you’re outside the Warden’s ranged attack range. Attack it with arrows until it’s dead.
Well, not only do you know that Wardens can’t spawn in Peaceful mode in Minecraft, you know how to defeat them. To be honest, killing them doesn’t offer practical rewards, but the bragging rights are worth it. You’ll want to learn how to enchant, though, and we can help with that, too!
