Echo of the Deep
by Boomjiro
Echo of the Deep changes the Warden fight in the Deep Dark, with a smarter Warden and a sculk-amethyst weapon called the Echo Glaive.
What it does
The overhaul makes the Warden harder to avoid: it reacts to vibrations, remembers locations it has sensed, and can break through walls that players try to use as hiding spots. Players can still escape by staying silent long enough, and blindness keeps the Warden from seeing them. Sculk vials are used to weaken Wardens, extract sculk and purify it into rare components for forging. Vanilla Backport is an optional dependency. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.1 as the latest file from 2026-08-10, under All rights reserved.

What the author says
Face a more intelligent Warden that reacts to vibrations, remembered locations, damage, and obstruction. If you hide behind cheap tunnel tricks, the Warden may try to break through and reach you — but it still remains faithful to its blindness. It cannot see you, and if you stay silent long enough, you can still…
