💠 Warden Forge

Hunting the Warden has never been this rewarding.

Warden Forge turns the deadliest mob in Minecraft into a real endgame goal. Every Warden you defeat now drops 15 to 25 Warden Essence, a glowing cyan crystal you can forge into a full armor set, a complete tool set, and the legendary Warden Scythe, a brand-new weapon with its own special ability.

Dark obsidian-blue metal. Glowing cyan veins. Sculk-inspired design. Everything in this add-on shares one unified, premium look.

💎 Warden Essence

The heart of the mod. A glowing cyan crystal shard with dark sculk veins.

How to get it: kill a Warden. Each Warden drops 15 to 25 pieces. It's all down to you and your luck.

What it's used for:

• Crafting the Block of Warden Essence
• Crafting every armor piece, tool and the Scythe
• Repairing Warden gear in an anvil

💡 A full armor set plus all tools and the Scythe costs 37 Essence, so plan on defeating about two Wardens.

📥 Installation

1. Download WardenForge.mcaddon.
2. Open the file. Minecraft will launch and import both packs automatically.
3. Create or edit a world, then go to Behavior Packs and Resource Packs.
4. Activate both packs. The mod needs the Behavior Pack and the Resource Pack to work properly.
5. Join the world. You should see "[Warden Forge] Scripts loaded." in chat.

⚠️ Updating? Remove the old version first (Settings → Storage → Resource Packs / Behavior Packs), then install the new one.

❓ FAQ

How do I get Warden Essence? Kill a Warden. It drops 15 to 25 each time.

The textures are missing or blank. Make sure the Resource Pack is activated in the world as well as the Behavior Pack. If you updated, delete the old version first.

The Scythe's right-click or the armor set bonus does nothing. Both need the Behavior Pack's script to run. Check for the "Scripts loaded" message when you join the world.

Why doesn't the armor feel stronger than Netherite on paper? Bedrock caps armor protection at 20 points, so the 24 points here match Netherite's cap. The real advantages are the much higher durability and the full set bonus.

🐛 Known Limitations

• The Block of Warden Essence is a regular cube. The tendrils shown in concept art are not part of the in-game model.
• Armor and tools don't glow in the dark. The glow effect is limited to the block (light and particles).
• Bedrock has no attack speed or armor toughness stat, so these aren't part of the mod.
