Main Mobs
The add-on includes different creatures with their own abilities and behaviors.
Hollowed
An old concept of the warden that spawns naturally in the deep dark and that reacts to vibrations. It can investigate sounds and disturbances, making careless movement dangerous in areas where it lives
Infested
A powerful creature that can break blocks while chasing its target. It can tear through terrain in front of it, making walls and underground hiding spots much less reliable. It also has armor-piercing damage. Infested can deal heavy knockback when he is attacked and has a very powerful long-range sonic boom.
Stalker
A dangerous hunter that spawns naturally in the deep dark and that can track vibrations and investigate where they came from. It also has a sonic boom-style, allowing it to threaten players from a distance.
Prowler
A hostile Sculk creature that investigates suspicious activity and vibrations. It actively searches its surroundings instead of simply wandering around.
Harasser
A large and powerful combat mob designed to pressure players during fights. It can give blindness. Its high health and strong attacks make it especially dangerous when encountered alongside other sculk creatures. It also has a powerful sonic boom that can give mining fatigue or weakness.
Lurker
A dangerous sculk creature that specializes in surprising players. Can give blindness. Its behavior makes it a threat while exploring dark areas, forcing players to pay attention to their surroundings.
Constellation
A powerful Sculk creature with high health and heavy melee damage. It is one of the stronger enemies in Warden Origins and can make encounters with groups of mobs much more dangerous. Also has 2 sonic boom attacks that are very dangerous
Shattered
A hostile Sculk creature that spawns in groups and attacks players if too many noises are made.
Batface
A deep dark creature that responds to vibrations and investigates disturbances. It can also appear alongside other dangerous creatures, adding another threat while exploring, and has a zombie bat attack.
Warden
The Warden remains one of the most dangerous creatures in the Deep Dark. Warden Origins expands on the Warden theme with new equipment, materials, abilities, and creatures inspired by its mechanics.
Other mobs
There's a bunch of other mobs that are simple and easy to complicated smart and hard mobs to deal with that also spawn inside the dimension.
Exploration
Explore the custom dimension and discover different areas and dangerous creatures.

Warden Origins — Complete Player Guide
Addon: Warden Origins
1. What this addon is
Warden Origins is a Deep Dark/Warden-themed Bedrock addon built around a custom dimension, custom biomes, procedural caverns, dungeons, cities, monsters, Warden equipment, special crafting materials, and utility items.
The main progression loop is:
- Build and activate the custom portal.
- Enter The Depths (
deepcav:the_depths). - Explore newly generated cavern terrain and biome regions.
- Fight the Deep Dark mobs and collect their materials.
- Find special chests with loot.
- Craft Warden equipment, charms, hearts and utility items.
- Use the stronger gear and special mechanics to push farther into dangerous regions.
The addon is not just a texture pack: much of its behavior is controlled by Bedrock Script API code, including portal travel, dimension generation, spawning, Infested combat, armor abilities, tools, the Sculk Transmitter and several structure systems.
2. Installation and basic setup
Import the .mcaddon into Minecraft Bedrock normally.
The pack declares a minimum engine version of 1.26.0 and uses the Bedrock Script API, including the beta @minecraft/server and @minecraft/server-ui modules. Use a Bedrock version that supports the APIs declared by the pack.
Warden Origins contains both a Behavior Pack and Resource Pack and they are designed to work together.
3. The custom dimension: The Depths
The main world added by the addon is:
deepcav:the_depths
It is a very large, script-generated cavern dimension. Terrain is generated around explored areas rather than being one small fixed map, so exploration is the intended way to reveal more of it.
Base cavern regions
The underlying cavern generator contains six main regions:
| Region | Theme | Typical feel |
|---|---|---|
| Glowshroom Grotto | Mushrooms / glow flora | The least monster-focused region |
| Sculk Hollow | Sculk / Deep Dark | Stalker-family danger |
| Crystal Cavern | Crystals / stone | Sculk and Shattered pressure |
| Emberdeep | Heat / ash / volcanic materials | Fire-themed hostile mobs |
| Frostgrotto | Ice / frozen cavern | Hollow-family monsters |
| Murkmire | Dark swamp/murk cavern | Mixed hostile mobs |
These larger zones are what give the dimension its strongest Warden Origins identity.
Warden Origins biome guide
Dark Sculk
4. How to enter The Depths
The custom portal uses Reinforced Deepslate as its frame.
Portal requirements
- Frame:
minecraft:reinforced_deepslate - Activation: Flint and Steel or Heart of the Deep
- Minimum outside frame size: 4 × 5
- Larger frames are supported, up to the portal controller's maximum dimension.
- The inside must be an open area; solid blocks inside the portal space will prevent valid activation.
Light/activate the frame with the accepted activator. The custom portal block appears once the frame is recognized.
Traveling
Stand inside the custom portal for about 4 seconds. A Nausea effect is used while the travel timer is running, then the addon teleports you into The Depths.
Your return location is saved by the addon so that you can be sent back toward the place you originally entered from when returning through the custom portal.
Important
Breaking a Reinforced Deepslate frame next to the connected custom portal can deactivate/clear the portal. If a portal stops working, check that the frame is still intact and valid.
5. Exploring the dimension
The best way to experience the addon is to keep moving. The dimension uses chunk-based generation and saves generated areas, so new regions and structures appear as you explore farther.
Several special systems are intentionally uncommon. A long exploration trip is expected to be much more rewarding than staying close to your entry point.
The dimension also removes normal vanilla hostile-mob spawning and uses the addon’s custom spawning system instead. This is why the creature population feels different from a normal Overworld cave.
6. Loot
Procedural dungeons
The dungeon system defines eight dungeon themes:
- Warren
- Geode
- Trials
- Catacomb
- Spire
- Cinder
- Frost
- Mire
These are assembled from multiple structure pieces as you explore. Each theme has its own entrance, room pieces.
7. How mob spawning works
The addon has multiple spawn systems instead of one universal mob list.
Spawning is affected by the current cavern region/biome, local mob caps and the type of environment you are in. This creates distinct monster populations in different parts of the dimension.
8. Stalker family
The Stalker family is the signature Dark Sculk enemy group.
Stalker
ID: warden_evo:stalker
Health: 90 HP
Melee damage: 15 HP, plus Blindness for about 5 seconds
Stalker uses Warden-like vibration/anger mechanics and can switch between close-range combat and a sonic boom attack.
It can also spread/propagate Dark Sculk effects around kills and has special movement states such as lying low and fitting through 1 block gaps.
Fighting a Stalker
Do not assume distance makes you safe. Its ranged sonic attack gives it a way to pressure players that try to stay back. Once it is also transformed, it's speed is super fast.
Prowler
ID: warden_evo:prowler
Health: 90 HP
Melee damage: 15 HP, plus Blindness for about 5 seconds
Prowler behaves similarly to Stalker, using close combat and a ranged sonic attack and participating in the Dark Sculk vibration system.
Lurker
Health: 260 HP
Melee damage: 18 HP, plus Darkness for about 5 seconds
Lurkers are much tougher than Stalkers/Prowlers and are one of the heavier Dark Sculk threats.
They also use a ranged sonic attack and Warden-like sensing mechanics.
They also can give blindness to you.
Harasser
Health: 260 HP
Melee damage: 18 HP, plus Blindness for about 5 seconds
Harassers combine melee pressure with a sonic attack. Their ranged attack can be used out to roughly 15 blocks and they can apply area Blindness effects.
Constellation
Health: 260 HP
Scale: about 1.4×
Damage: 18 HP, plus Nausea for about 25 seconds
Constellation is a heavier ranged Stalker-family enemy. It uses sonic attacks and has a special burst mode that can fire multiple sonic attacks.
Gemless versions
The addon includes Gemless Stalker, Gemless Prowler, Gemless Lurker, Gemless Harasser and Gemless Constellation variants.
Treat these as alternate versions of the corresponding Stalker-family creature rather than completely separate gameplay classes.
They don't have sonic booms so they are easier to run away from.
9. Shattered family
Shattered
ID: warden_evo:shattered
Health: 60 HP
Melee damage: 10 HP
Extra effect: Slowness for about 2 seconds
Shattered are common hostile mobs in several dimension regions. They use Warden-style vibration/anger behavior and often appear in groups.
Groups can be as large as 7 Shattered in the natural spawn system.
A small portion of groups can contain a Shattered Leader.
Shattered Leader
Health: 140 HP
Melee damage: 27 HP
Extra effect: Wither for about 5 seconds
Scale: 1.25×
Leaders are much more dangerous than normal Shattered and act as rare upgraded encounters.
Shattered Head
The Shattered Head is a special trophy item/block.
When a Shattered is killed by a player it has a super rare chance of dropping its head
10. Hollowed family
Hollowed
ID: hollowed:hollowed
Health: 600 HP
Melee damage: 35 HP
Extra effect: Blindness
Hollowed are heavy Warden-like monsters. They use vibration/suspect/anger behavior and are capable of breaking blocks while pursuing a target.
They also have a Darkness aura around them and are adapted to survive in water.
Hollowed can be encountered naturally in Hollow/Frostgrotto areas and can also be associated with Hollow shriekers.
Infested
ID: hollowed:infested
Health: 850 HP
Melee damage: 7 HP
Infested is one of the addon’s largest monsters by health, but its melee hit is intentionally much lower than Hollowed’s.
The reason why he deals 7HP of damage is because his meele attacka are armor piercing.
Infested knockback retaliation
This build also has the Infested retaliation effect:
- Horizontal knockback: 3
- Vertical knockback: 2.25
When something hurts the Infested, the attacker is pushed away heavily.
Infested block breaking
While pursuing a target, Infested can break a large selection of blocks in its path, including many stone/deepslate blocks, ores, logs, doors, trapdoors and other terrain blocks.
Some of this behavior is native entity block-breaking, with a separate sonic/block interaction script also present for certain dimensions.
Headless
ID: hollowed:headless
Health: 350 HP
Melee damage: 35 HP
Extra effect: Blindness for about 10 seconds
Headless is an additional Hollow-style enemy in the addon. It has Warden-like sensing, a Darkness aura and extensive block-breaking behavior.
It can break blocks similar to infested.
It is available as addon content but is not part of the main natural spawn pools inspected for the current release.
Other Hollow variants
The pack also contains several specialized Hollow/Warden variants:
- Batface — 500 HP, 30 damage + Blindness
- Injured — 500 HP, 30 damage + Wither
- Leaky — 250 HP, 20 damage + Hunger
- Faceless — 600 HP, ranged/melee sonic combat, about 1.1× scale
These variants are especially associated with Hollow/Frostgrotto-style content and shrieker systems.
11. Other Deep Caverns mobs
The dimension also contains a large common sculk roster, including:
- Sculk Spider
- Sculk Zombie
- Sculk Creeper
- Dark/Sculk Skeleton
- Sculk Centipede
- Sculk Snapper
- Sculk Leech
- Shriek Worm
Sculk Leech
Sculk Leeches are small support enemies. A successful hit on a player can drain 5 experience points.
They will also soon be used as support mobs by the Stalker Boss.
Shriek Worm
Shriek Worm is a largely stationary hostile creature that attacks nearby players within a short range.
Its active attack range is about 5 blocks, making it dangerous when you walk directly into its space.
Currently it is bugged and does not attack anything.
Sculk Snapper
Sculk Snapper has a tameable/sittable-style system in the pack. Tamed Snappers can be sat and used for help. Can be certain meats and echo shards
12. Sculk shriekers and vibration gameplay
The addon has a custom shrieker system.
Hollow shriekers are tied to the Hollowed family and can summon Hollowed-style creatures, including variants such as Batface.
The general design is similar to the Warden concept: vibrations attract or activate dangerous creatures, so careless mining, fighting and movement around sensors/shriekers can make exploration harder.
13. Stalker Boss
ID: warden_evo:stalker_boss
Health: 750 HP
Damage: 35 HP
Movement: about 0.3
Scale: 1.5×
The Stalker Boss is a special encounter rather than a normal natural spawn.
Summoning
The way the boss is summoned is through a craftable spawn egg using the following
- deeperdarker:reinforced_echo_shard
Using 9 can get you a compresseed echo block:
deeperdarker:compressed_echo_block
By using 5 compressed blocks in a plus formation you can get the boss spawn egg.
Boss reinforcements
Not currently but soon every 45 seconds, the boss support script can add:
- 4 Shattered
- 4 Sculk Leeches
This means the encounter becomes progressively harder if the boss is left alive for a long time.
Drops
The inspected loot configuration gives the Stalker Boss:
- 5 Sculk Hearts
- 1 Nether Star
- 4–7 Warden Ingots
The Drops will change soon as they aren't really useful.
14. Angel variants and other extra entities
The resource/behavior packs also contain special entities such as:
- Angel Warden (
warden_evo:angel_warden) - Angel Shattered (
warden_evo:angel_shattered) - Other Warden/Deep Dark variants
These are present in the addon, but the current release does not place them into the normal natural spawning flow described above. They should be treated as special/extra entity content unless another addon system explicitly summons them.
15. Warden armor
Warden armor is one of the main progression rewards.
| Piece | Protection | Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Warden Helmet | 18 | 2000 |
| Warden Chestplate | 30 | 4000 |
| Warden Leggings | 24 | 3500 |
| Warden Boots | 18 | 2000 |
Full-set bonus
Wearing the complete Warden armor set gives scripted combat bonuses including:
- Strength
- Speed I
Warden Helmet
The helmet provides Water Breathing.
It also gives you immunity to blindess and darkness.
Warden Chestplate
The chestplate provides Fire Resistance.
Warden Leggings
The leggings are just normal leggings.
Warden Boots
The boots have special sculk interaction behavior, including removing sculk vein beneath the player and producing experience effects.
16. Warden tools
The Warden tool set is intended to be stronger and more specialized than ordinary Netherite equipment.
| Tool | Damage | Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Warden Sword | 12 | 5000 |
| Warden Axe | 10 | 3800 |
| Warden Pickaxe | 8 | 4000 |
| Warden Shovel | 7 | 3200 |
| Warden Hoe | 8 | 3000 |
Special Warden tool behavior
The tools have scripted utility beyond their normal Minecraft functions.
- Breaking blocks can produce extra experience.
- Kills can trigger sculk-related block effects.
- The axe can strip wood.
- The shovel can create grass paths.
- The hoe can make farmland and has special sculk-mining behavior.
- The pickaxe is especially useful for hard Deep Dark materials.
Some block interactions intentionally alter normal Minecraft drops to support the addon’s sculk-themed progression.
17. Crafting Warden equipment
The pack supports both direct crafting and Netherite-to-Warden smithing upgrades.
The main upgrade material is the Warden Ingot.
Warden Ingot recipe
The Warden Ingot uses:
- Sculk Bone
- Reinforced Echo Shards
- Heart of the Deep
The completed Warden gear can then be made directly with Warden materials or upgraded through the addon’s Warden smithing template system.
By using any netherite armor (Not Weapons) and a warden ingot along with a warden upgrade template, you can make the warden armor.
Empty.
19. Charms and passive utility items
Several Deep Caverns charms work simply by being carried in your inventory.
Ember Charm
Effect: Fire Resistance
Useful in Emberdeep and around lava/fire hazards.
Frost Charm
Effect: Night Vision
Useful in dark ice/frozen cavern sections.
Murk Charm
Effect: Water Breathing
Useful in water-heavy Murkmire areas.
Deepheart Amulet
Effect: Regeneration
A general-purpose survivability item for long cave trips.
These are inventory-based utility items rather than a normal armor slot item system.
20. Heart/gem combat items
The addon includes several throwable heart/gem projectile items associated with the major Warden creatures.
Their projectile effects are sonic-blast style attacks that can damage nearby targets and apply Darkness.
The inspected values are approximately:
| Heart/Gem | Blast damage |
|---|---|
| Stalker Heart | 25 HP |
| Warden Heart | 50 HP |
| Hollowed Heart | 75 HP |
| Sculk Heart | 250 HP |
The Sculk Heart is the highest-damage projectile of this group.
These are obtainable by killing one of the stalker variants, the warden, and the hollowed family, but the chances are so low it's very rare to get.
21. Magic Gem Crystals
The addon contains special Magic Gem Crystal blocks and related gem systems.
These are connected to the Dark Sculk/Stalker ecosystem and are part of the addon’s special resource and structure design.
Gem items also appear in mob variants and loot tables, so they function as both collection materials and combat/progression items.
Realistically it's kinda useless.
22. Sculk Transmitter — how to use it
The Sculk Transmitter is the addon’s remote-storage utility.
It comes in multiple colored variants, but the variants use the same basic function.
Linking one
- Hold an unlinked Sculk Transmitter.
- Use it on a supported storage block.
- The transmitter records the target container's dimension and position.
- The addon keeps the destination chunk available for the remote-storage system.
Supported storage includes:
- Chest
- Trapped Chest
- Barrel
- Colored Shulker Boxes
Opening the remote container
Use a linked Sculk transmitter to open its remote-storage interface.
The UI supports inventory viewing and remote item management, including taking items and depositing selected items.
Re-linking
Sneak while using the linked transmitter on another supported container to link it to the new target.
Unlinking
Sneak + use without linking to a valid container can clear the transmitter's stored target.
This makes the item useful for long mining trips: one physical storage chest can be accessed from somewhere else in the dimension without walking back to it.
24. How to obtain the important items.
Reinforced echo shards are dropped by the mobs:
The stalker, prowler, lurker.
They all have a chance of dropping one.
Sculk Bones: They are obtained by killing shattered
Heart of the deep: Obtained by killing the warden.
Warden ingot: Either crafted or found in chests very rarely.
Warden Smithing Template: Either crafted or found in chests.
Sculk transmitter: Using sculk paste and a reinforced echo shard, Sculk paste is obtained by killing sculk crepers, dark skeletons and sculk zombies.
25. Deep Caverns resources
The base dimension adds several material families, including:
- Deepshard
- Glowspore
- Raw Gem
- Emberite
- Sulfur
- Cryolite
- Frostiron
- Bog Iron
- Witch Crystal
- Marsh Essence
- Cavern Berries
- Spore Caps
- Deepheart materials
These resources are used across the dimension's weapons, charms, foods/materials and progression recipes.
26. Practical progression route
A sensible way to play the addon is:
Early exploration
Enter The Depths and gather the basic cavern materials while learning which biome you are in.
Mid-game
Craft charms early because their passive effects are useful for surviving specific environmental hazards.
Warden gear stage
Collect Reinforced Echo Shards, Sculk Bones, Hearts and other Warden materials. Build Warden armor and tools once you can support the material cost.
A full Warden set is particularly useful against sonic-based enemies because of its stacking sonic resistance.
Late exploration
The Stalker Boss is a separate high-end encounter and should be treated as a dedicated boss fight rather than a normal cave mob.
27. Survival tips
Watch the biome
The biome itself tells you what kind of enemy pressure to expect. Sculk Forest is Stalker-family territory; Hollow and Infest areas are much more specialized.
Treat shriekers as hazards
Do not casually trigger custom shriekers while already fighting another mob group. Their role is specifically to increase local danger.
Keep escape routes
The addon contains several enemies that can break blocks, use sonic attacks or apply Darkness/Blindness. Fighting beside a one-block-wide tunnel can be much more dangerous than fighting in open space.
Use the charms
Carry the charm that matches the environment you are in.
