WardenStaff
by Landy4s
WardenStaff gives players a staff as a reward for defeating the Warden, a weapon built around the Warden's own Sonic Boom ability.
What it does
Defeating the Warden has a 70% chance to drop a Warden Staff, which the vanilla game otherwise never rewards. Echo Cores have a 30% chance of dropping from the Warden, in amounts of three per kill. Getting the staff first means finding an Ancient City deep underground and summoning the Warden there.
Using the staff fires a Sonic Boom that deals damage in a line, and nearby mobs are knocked back when it is used. The staff has a 15-second cooldown between uses. The mod is built to match vanilla balance and progression, so it does not add new dimensions, structures or ores. Fabric API is required, and the code is not open source. The mod is published for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Warden Staff reward
The staff is the only item the Warden can drop, giving a clear reason to defeat it.
Sonic Boom attack
Activating the staff fires a Sonic Boom, the same ability the Warden uses against players.
Echo Core upgrade
Three Echo Cores turn the staff into a version that fires three waves in a spread.
Knockback and cooldown
Nearby mobs are pushed back when the staff is used, and a 15-second cooldown limits how often it can fire.

What the author says
A simple Vanilla+ mod that finally gives you a reason to defeat the Warden. The Warden is one of the strongest mobs in Minecraft, but defeating it normally gives you no unique reward. This mod changes that by adding the Warden Staff, a powerful weapon that lets you use the Warden's own Sonic Boom ability.
