Tier 1 Warden
by Frogvis
Tier 1 Warden changes how the Warden fights, giving it PvP tactics such as splash potions, TNT minecarts, pearls and wind charges.
What it does
The Warden gains item use. It can drink splash potions for strength, place TNT minecarts, throw ender pearls toward distant players, and use wind charges to launch itself off the ground. Its sonic boom no longer applies darkness on its own, and it can perform a fake mace smash attack. Players meet a Warden that plays more like a combatant than a scripted boss.
The mod is built for survival and multiplayer worlds where players want a harder Warden fight. Because the Warden can still grief through its new items and attacks, it stays dangerous even when mob griefing is turned off. Tier 1 Warden is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and the Fabric loader is required. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, but the project is not open source.
