Warden Madness
by Lingski
Warden Madness lets players take on the role of the Warden, the deep dark mob from Minecraft, with its sonic boom and boosted stats.
What it does
Players can start a challenge in which they become the Warden itself, and a Warden weapon built around the sonic boom is available as part of that play. The Warden in this mod is far stronger than a normal player, with roughly ten times the strength, speed and durability, and about 250 health. It resists lava and fire for longer and survives drowning better than a regular character.
Sound and sight work the way the Warden uses them. Players sprinting make noise that the Warden can hear, while wool blocks their footsteps and stay silent. A player who is blinded can only see people making a sound, whether by running, stepping or setting fire to something. Triggering the transformation uses a simple trigger item, so the change into the Warden can be started from inside the game.
The server must run the mod, while a player may leave it out. Warden Madness is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and also works as a data pack. Files cover 1.19 – 1.19.4, with 1.2.0+mod for 1.19.4 as the latest file. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, so the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
