Warden in deep dark caves

What Does the Warden drop in Minecraft? – Answered

The warden has been one of the, if not the, most anticipated mob in Minecraft’s history. Moreover, it has been delayed twice, which has helped build the hype for deep dark caves and its habitant, the warden.

The Wild Update will finally add the warden to Minecraft. Players will find this monstrosity in the deepest and darkest areas of the Overworld, i.e., deep dark caves. Mojang created the warden to make the caves far more dangerous and scarier than in current versions.

Defeating the warden will be much more grueling than the Ender Dragon and the Wither. This is because the warden has a whopping 500 health points. Many players wonder if battling the warden will give some rare items.

Does the Warden drop rewards in Minecraft?

Update: The Warden now drops one sculk catalyst upon death in Minecraft 1.19 update. It always drops one sculk catalyst and is not affected by the Looting enchantment.

Unfortunately, the warden drops no items after dying in Minecraft. Players will only get three experience points from defeating the warden. There is no hidden reward for defeating the strongest mob in Minecraft.

Mojang Studios wanted the warden to be a terrifying mob that would protect the deep dark caves and ancient cities from outsiders. However, if it dropped valuable items, players would have a reason to battle the horror of deep dark caves.

While exploring deep dark caves, players can avoid summoning the warden by sneaking. This way, players can safely get sculk blocks or investigate the mysterious ancient cities.
