How to sneak past the Warden in Minecraft

In Minecraft, the Warden is perhaps the most terrifying hostile mob you can encounter. It spawns in the Deep Dark, and if you are caught between the Warden and a hard place, the wisest choice would be to choose the latter, as defeating this dangerous enemy is one of the most difficult things in the game. It has the strongest melee attack and packs a whopping 500 health points.

While there are many strategies you can use to defeat this mob, it is best to avoid the Warden and just sneak past it. This article will explain how to do that without invoking the rage of the dweller of this Deep Dark dweller in Minecraft.

How to avoid pissing off the warden by inMinecraft

Before we get into the sneaking part, you will need to know some key things about the mob. Although the Warden lacks vision, it has the best hearing ability, making it very difficult to hide from this large and scary mob. It can hear any movement up to a radius of 16 blocks. This means you cannot move fast or make any noise even when you are 16 blocks away from it.

But things get worse when you realize that it can also sniff you when you are anywhere within six blocks of it. Regardless of whether you move or stay as still as a statue, the Warden will still detect you. All of these things are important to keep in mind, as you need to avoid getting too close when sneaking past it.

Here's how to sneak past the Warden

Considering this mob's strengths and weaknesses, you need to keep the sneak to the maximum and noise to the minimum when the Warden comes out into the Ancient City. Since it reacts to the least amount of sound, using the sneak move to walk around is your best option. As mentioned before, stay at least six blocks away from it because it can sniff you out even if you are not moving.

Some items can be used to improve your chances of not getting detected. For example, wearing leggings with the Swift Sneak enchantment in Minecraft makes you move even quieter.

Many players choose wool to dampen their sound. Unfortunately, that does not work well and barely adds anything. In fact, placing wool while the Warden is out can become a big issue. You could accidentally make noises when putting down wool blocks.

Another thing that goes without saying is to avoid sculk sensors, which detect movement and send the information to the nearby sculk shrieker. Keep all these things in mind and you are good to go. If the Warden still does detect you, just run as fast, or climb as high as you can.
