Description

Harder Wardens

 

Wardens gain more HP, deal more damage, and drop better loot and XP or you make the Warden a one hit kill and deal almost zero damage, it's completely up to you. Fully configurable!

 

⚙️ Config (`config/harder_wardens.json`)

Generated automatically on first launch. You can edit it directly or use Mod Menu when both Mod Menu and Cloth Config are installed on the client:

json
{
  "difficulty": "NORMAL",
  "customHealth": 500.0,
  "customDamageMultiplier": 1.5,
  "customLootPreset": "NORMAL",
  "customXpReward": 25

}

Difficulty:

Vanilla Warden baseline: 500 HP, 30 base attack damage. Minecraft clamps minecraft:max_health to 1024, so presets stay below that vanilla limit.

'customHealth' (CUSTOM only):
Maximum HP for the Warden. Default: `500.0`

'customDamageMultiplier' (CUSTOM only):
Multiplier on the Warden's base attack damage. Default: `1.5`
Example: `2.0` = double damage (60 base → 90 on Hard game difficulty)

'customLootPreset' (CUSTOM only):
Which loot table preset to use: `NONE`, `EASY`, `NORMAL`, `HARD`, `NIGHTMARE`, or `INSANE`

`NONE` disables all extra loot drops.

`customXpReward` (CUSTOM only):

How much XP the Warden drops. Default: `25`

Minimum: `0`
Maximum: `100`

Values above `100` are automatically clamped back to `100`.

 

🎮 Commands

/harderwardens reload - OP (lvl 2) - Reloads the config from disk        
/harderwardens info - OP (lvl 2) - Shows current difficulty settings

Note: Existing Wardens keep their current stats after /harderwardens reload. Loot table changes still require /reload or a restart.
