Minecraft Snapshot 22w15a

Let me tell you a little story about hubris. Well, not so much a story as a lament. Because some of you have been thinking that the warden was a little too easy. I won’t name names, but I know you’re out there. Why else would we be adding ranged attacks for this already terrifying mob? Was the sniffing not enough? When will it end? Not today, apparently. Enjoy a new terrifying warden along with more advancements and technical changes.
