Warden Tweaks
by Kim-Lan
Warden Tweaks changes how the Warden behaves and how strong it is, through a set of server-side config values for the warning system, shrieker spawns, health, experience and melee damage.
What it does
Warden Tweaks lets a server owner adjust the mechanics around the Warden. The warning level cooldown time, the warning level that spawns a Warden, and the maximum warning level can each be set. Whether shriekers that a player places can summon Wardens is also a config option, so servers can keep or remove that behavior.
The mod also covers the Warden's own stats: maximum health, experience points dropped on death and melee attack damage can all be changed. A separate group of options adjusts the mechanics that follow a Warden. The default config file sets the vanilla values, so nothing changes until a server owner edits it. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) installed alongside it. Files cover game versions 1.21.4 – 26.2, with 1.0.0+26.2 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Warning level settings
Cooldown time, the warning level that spawns a Warden, and the maximum warning level can each be set in the config.
Shrieker spawning
A switch controls whether shriekers placed by players can summon Wardens, so servers can allow or block that route.
Warden health and damage
Maximum health and melee attack damage of the Warden can be changed to make the mob easier or harder.
Experience reward
The experience points a Warden gives can be adjusted, which changes the reward for defeating it.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to adjust Warden difficulty, shrieker behavior and rewards on a Fabric server. Players on a server that runs the mod need nothing installed.
How it compares
Harder Wardens is server-side only, open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and built for Fabric on 1.21.11 – 26.3. Warden Drops is also server-side only and open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it targets 1.20.3 – 1.21.1 and changes loot rather than the Warden's stats. Nerfed Warden runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.3, with the server required and the client optional, and is not open source.
