Warden With Loot is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod that fixes the Warden's thin reward. In vanilla the boss leaves a single sculk catalyst. Here it drops a spread of valuables and 300 experience points, and it unlocks a new advancement line. It must be installed on the server; the client is optional.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt: Minecraft 1.19 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies, optionally Modify Player Data; some builds for 1.21.2 to 1.21.9 require Modify Player Data.
What the Warden drops
From the 3.0 line on Minecraft 1.20.2 and later, the extra drops are stored in one or two bundles. The Warden also drops loot equivalent to an Ancient City chest. Every bonus drop requires a player-killed Warden.
- Sculk Shrieker, 10% chance, with an enchanted glow and a unique name color. It keeps its Warden-summoning ability.
- Echo Shard, with a low chance of a Recovery Compass directly.
- Disc 5 Fragment, with a rare chance of a complete Music Disc 5.
- Random Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite ores.
- A chance of the Warden or Silence Armor Trim Template on 1.20 and later.
- A Swift Sneak I to III book, or a level 30 to 50 enchanted book.
- Golden Apples and Enchanted Golden Apples.
New advancements
Ten entries sit under the Adventure tab, including Abyss of Silence, The Awakening, Return to Silence, Ancient Relics and Echoes of the Empty City. Defeating the Warden also keeps Sculk Shriekers quiet around you for 10 minutes, but only when Modify Player Data is available. Advancement text ships in 22 languages, and only Chinese and English are creator-written.
Install as a mod or a datapack
The mod route needs the loader that matches your Minecraft version. Put the file in the mods folder and launch with that loader's profile; the install guide for Java mods covers the steps. If you would rather skip a loader, the same content is published as a plain datapack. Both routes cover the same range of releases.
Questions about Warden With Loot.
4 questions
Does Warden With Loot need to be on the server?
Yes. The server side is required, while installing it on the client is optional. Use the build for your loader, or the plain datapack if you would rather skip a loader. Either way, the extra drops only appear when a player kills the Warden.
What does the Warden drop in vanilla Minecraft?
In vanilla the Warden drops only a single sculk catalyst. Warden With Loot adds extra drops, Ancient City chest-equivalent loot and 300 experience points, all gated on a player kill. The extras include Echo Shards, Disc 5 Fragments, ores, golden apples and enchanted books, and from the 3.0 line on 1.20.2 and later they come in one or two bundles.
Can I use Warden With Loot as a datapack instead of a mod?
Yes. The same content is published as a plain datapack as well as loader builds for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Pick the datapack if you do not want to install a loader.
Do Warden farms still give the extra loot?
Bonus drops require a player-killed Warden. The creator designed the mod for survival and adventure play instead of automated farms, and asks players to keep farms ethical and play fair so the loot stays magical. The bonus drops cover the Sculk Shrieker, Echo Shards, Disc 5 Fragments, ores and golden apples.
