The idea that Jeb is the only one who truly knows the Minecraft lore and refuses to tell anyone else in the studio is really funny to me
yeah, he's probably not the only one but it's really interesting, when will we uncover the lore ? will mojang tells us one day ?
@@LAMAROUX34 I feel like as they realize the internet is really interested in Minecraft lore they will definitely give us more hints to it, as this would just bring more attention to the game
Reminds me of someone from another game.. "Scott cawthon"
@@imn_4 I have a running _theory_ that he told MatPat and now he’s sworn to secrecy (ohoho funny pun)
Most of the game developers in the studio know, at least the ones who continue the lore with the next updates, otherwise only Jeb would be able to come up with an idea for the update. (They've said it so Im not making it up)
People hate on 1.19 but the deep dark is an excellent feature. The Warden was instantly iconic.
i don't think anyone hated 1.19 for what they _did_ add
@@k1j1j1jplayer reporting
@@k1j1j1j Yeah, people hated it not because of what was added, but what wasn't. And half of the update was planned for two updates prior anyways.
@@JoopiterGD Ancient Cities were not planned at the start, it was far newer
@@plumfadoodle4908exactly. The only thing announced was deep dark and some small room. I am extremely grateful that they kept working on in instead of rushing it to put it in 1.18
the stalker is terrifying! I think it would be super interesting if they had some sort of cave structure like trial chambers but it's just a gross wet cave with tons of stalkers in them. This way the player could turn around and leave, or they could stay and try to acquire loot without touching them. If you do touch one, all that are in the vicinity would be able to track and attack. That one block tall feature is absolutely nightmare fuel
suggest it on Minecraft feedback because it's a great idea :D
Or an entity for a warden dimension
That is just nightmare fuel for me.
I felt like the stalker should be in the end and be a mob there😮
the poor 5 year old that sees a chest and not the stalkers 😭
Wait so the heartbeat is actually a heartbeat from one of the creators with a contact microphone??!!!! That really adds to the scary. I like that you guys go fully realistic with the sounds. That's genius!
it's like endermen say "hi!" and "hello" and "hello there"
and whats up@@Gilly2020
How does that make it scarier in any way
@Fastskull Well if you're around the Warden and you know what it sounds like and how terrifying it is when dealing with it just the thought of "hey that heartbeat is actually someone's heartbeat and how they get it to even speed up like that" is pretty terrifying
thats absolutely not genious
I honestly think that The Stalker was a pretty horrifying concept. The fact that it has its own animation for when it crawls in a 1 block gap scared me kinda when thinking of it.
Glad that wasn't added that
Now I really want it in the game... imo it would fit pretty well in the End
@@brickbot2.038 Deeper and darker mod that use him as the boss: ahem
the idea of this horrifying creature going up towards you while you are just casually mining honestly makes it more scarier, bc with the deep dark you stumble upon a creepy place and have the choice to leave. i can see why they scrapped it lol i would never go mining again
cave dwler
Never thought that a cow would cause all of this
Lol I've never seen a comment with 40 seconds on it 😂
My parents said if I reach 30K, they'd buy me a professionaI camera for recording... I'm literally begging you guys!!!!
*DUN DUN, DUN!!!!*
well a cow didnt cause anything because it has been only used to make the darkness effect
*Nether thought
You have no idea how badly I want that Warden plushie.
Me too
Me too
Personally, the Warden will always be my favorite hostile mob in Minecraft. Salutations and congrats to Mojang Studios for working so hard to bring this mob to the Minecraft game. To this day, I never stop experimenting with Sculk and visiting the Deep Dark, everytime I create a new world, and always wish I could give the Warden a big hug.
1:49 Turns out Minecraft had already planned out the Cave Dweller before us
They were always one step ahead
The creator of Cave Dweller said in his youtube video that he inspired to make this mod from the concept of stalker
That would've been so cool, sad they didnt add that function
Fr
one of the mojang developers certainly got inspired by the betweenland’s mod stalker and his deep cave system. the mod got created in 1.6 and the warden got created in 1.19. yeah huge time difference and the deep caves from the betweenlands totally looks like an old version of the deep dark and warden when we look closely.
That cow is definitely not harmless

Oh, I'm sure he's not....right?
I remember Minecraft once shared a picture of the warden, where he looks like he just wants to hug.
"Sympathy for the monster", that quote fits The Warden
They truly ate with the development of the Warden and Ancient Cities. One of the most fleshed out and polished experiences added to Minecraft in recent history.
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging ..
ye
They were making a super complex and giant structure, the most complex mob AI they ever did, and then all of those super complex blocks in the cities. They did great with all of them.
Reminder that it took 3 updates to complete
in concept, yeah. personally, though, I think the warden is the worst-designed mob, gameplay-wise lol
I love how there’s visible void textures in the hollowed’s design in the hands feet and chest. Give a whole new factor of lore they were trying to work in before the warden was finished

You’ve done an amazing job at making the warden. I love making liminal bases within the ancient cities. He along with the deep dark creates a lovely horror experience within an already lovely game. You simply outdone yourself with this concept.
what i like is how the cave just feels dark and empty but at the same time not, this also mix beautifuly in with the horrifying cave sounds!
5:14 the transition tho😮
Reall
If the warden folded through holes I would have quit Minecraft completely 😂
What about Filling the holes with blocks😀
I really do love the mystery surrounding the warden, the cities, and sculk in its entirity. What is it, how did it get there, why is the warden so hostile? Its so intriguing and I never expected something so foreboding and ominous to ever be in vanilla minecraft lol
Modding community is gonna love this one
ye 😅
To think the warden was what caused the ancient builders to flee the cities. Disc five tells us that the wither had found the ancient builders, the ancient builders built a portal to escape then out came the warden, the warden kills the wither and after that the warden reeked havoc causing the ancient builders to flee to the end. But that's just a theory, a game theory, thanks for reading
Gud.
The cities were made after the sculk. They have wool roads because the sculk and the warden predate the cities. So the warden cannot have come from the portal.
@@cosmopoiesecriandomundos7446 no when the sculk and the warden came from the portal some ancient builders stayed behind in the city and they found out the warden was blind and relies on sound, so they started placing the wool roads to absorb the vibrations. That would explain why there are wool roads.
Besides the ancient builders wouldn't of purposely build a city with a dangerous mob going around
Watch matpats videos about the warden he goes into depth to explain what happened
Its interesting bc when you summon those two mobs together and made them fight, warden always win with the sonic blast
It’s been years since I’ve played Minecraft. They have numbered discs that reveal lore now??
"A blind sad scary looking creature alone and who you may not want to encounter"

It may not be as iconic as a Zombie or Skeleton, but the Warden has risen the ranks of my favourite mobs to Rank 1 almost immediately.
You all did such a great job with this one, the Deep Dark and everything within it is just amazing.
I am hoping to see some extensions on this in future updates!
I feel like the uniqueness of the Sculk biome has a lot of potential.
The warden came out great! Truly a staple of the game. Still, I think it would be a cool idea to create some sort of resource pack to show off the concepts like the Hollowed, could be fun!
The Warden was the original Cave Dweller.
The stalker reminds me quite a bit of the original cave dweller in mechanics and lokks
@@ultranovva true especially with the crawling thing
no, the stalker was
@@ultranovvawe’re not talking about the same stalker, this one was in a mod from 1.6

Literally cave dweller but java
I like the Warden's design so much that it drew me into playing Minecraft. Absolutely my favorite mob
Where is my april fools ?
Blud re the date
2:45 THE HOLLOWED WARDEN COULD BREAK BLOCKS
that's too op, but I still prefer the hollowed than the warden cuz it's scarier and cooler
It can break blocks! Definitely needs to be able to be used in Horror maps
In my opinion, Warden should have the ability to destroy blocks. Or what I think would be cool and spectacular is if he could walk through blocks like in the animated Warden trailer.
@@BattleSteel25 no thanks that's the last thing we want 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀
All the technical minecrafters are biting their lips to this idea and would 100% try to incorporate this into a farm of some sort. You know deep in your heart they would 😂
3:44 Steve died in a sec
That really shows how strong the warden is 😢💀💀
I love the warden so much. It’s perfect, and the pulsing rythmons sounds really get you feeling stressed. The vibe is immaculate
this is one of the things that I don’t think the average Minecraft commentator doesnt even think about, that there is a whole design process to actually making these mobs and it takes an extremely long time to fully develop it and you can’t just put it into the game and say oh, this is a finished product
the ancient city soundtracks and audios are just tiptop, i love it 🔥🔥🔥

@@AtopaxOnVr the warden gonna get him if he keeps yapping like that
Kinda unfortunate that the Warden had to be dialed back so much for the sake of not traumatizing little kids. Its symmetrical design and lumbering walk just make it look goofy rather than scary and it's not even all that dangerous, you have 7-10 business days to get away from it during its spawning sequence.
Yer I agree
Hollowed looks really cool. Is it in a mod?
there might be a texture pack for it if you look, dont take my word on it though@@gfghdgfghd6391
It would actually be cool to see the stalkers back as a helping hand for the warden, as in the stalker being this also blind creature that is passive and what it does is warn the warden and flee from the player and from other mobs, and instead keep a distance. That'd be neat
i feel like the only problem of the warden is… it’s not scary because of one thing : by over elaborating it, they ended up making him too expected. they made it like every third time they activate a shrieker he spawns and chase you and if you crouch, sniffs you. the problem is : it’s too expected. the player will just know « don’t ever make any noise here and it will be fine » « but when he uncovers you, run on wool or die » when you hear about it, it just seems worthless. the player know exactly what they shouldn’t do at anytime because of the shriekers and his sniffing ability. it would have been way better if it was a rare mob that can appear in the ancient cities(or near abandoned houses with loot) anywhere’s and at anytime, but still rarely. and couldn’t sniff the player, so it would have been just way scarier. yes removing one of his abilities would have made it way scarier because the player shouldn’t make noise, but wouldn’t know exactly when. just near some structures or in the deep dark. like that the snowball trick from the trailer would have been interesting, but it would conflict one thing from the sense of players : they wanna go fast, but doesn’t want to die. so this could have been the most interesting mob in minecraft history, not only this angry strong and flawless neighbor that chase you if you’re way too noisy in his apartment. so yeah, i think mojang should have made it simpler to make it better, to like what he’s been in the legendary 1.17 trailer more than he’s right now.
_This is the story of the _*_scariest Mob in Minecraft history_*
Me: "Ah, Big Salmon?"
Mojang: "No, just Beef."
*slow clap*
3:14 It would be very interesting one day for you to work on a mob that has this end portal effect, it's a very interesting and innovative concept since we've never seen a mob like this before
Could the fact that they are expanding the game's story be a possible hint at what we'll see in the Minecraft movie?!

5:39 Narrator: The Warden is a hostile mob living in the Deep Dark, and who you may not want to encounter.

Decked Out II is a testament to just how solid the Warden and its mechanics are.
Also, the Hollow is absolutely terrifying, and I don't even have the phobia! That mouth and those sounds, woof! That thing belongs in a a different game all together, or my nightmares. 😬
I heard a theory about the deep dark: Once upon a time, there was an underground civilisation. Then the Warden came and wiped them all out, destroying the whole city. The souls of the slaughtered villagers were taken by the skulk catalysts and were turned into Skulk. That explaines the Skulk in the caves, the destroyed City, but leaves the portal for another story.
Hear me out Minecraft. Those first two warden ideas are AMAZING. I would absolutely love a separate difficulty called “spooky” or some other word that allows both of them to spawn. So players who don’t want such a horror experience can toggle it on and off.
YES! YES! You're a genius!!
GENIUS!!!
i swear minecraft can add the literal demon and agness will still say its "sorta cute" 😂
I love how she said the warden is misunderstood. She's so sweet!
the warden is just misunderstood 💔
I'm sad that the warden never got some of that cool "End Portal" like texture, It would have given it more depth and make it look like theres an entire new dimension inside of it, further hinting at the "Deep Dark Portal" but I guess that's the reason that the warden doesn't have that texture as well.
Trypophobia is not just the fear of holes, not only is a phobia not just a fear, but trypophobia is more a disgust than an actual fear

@@kylevaughn thanks bro
@@grumpy58 yeah that wasn't cool
@@grumpy58in this world you can't really put anything anywhere without offending/scaring someone
I like to imagine the wardens as ancient golems which should have protected the residents of the ancient cities, but once the sculk wiped away everything, the golems were just left there to be slowly infected and turned in to what we see now. This could explain why you can't farm them outside of the deep dark and why they're the only living beings other than the sculk infection itself.
I actually made a theory similar to this when the warden first came out
Or… it is an axolotl golem Frankenstein lookin thing that was infected by sculk that was infused with the souls of the ancient builders
Then how can it have a sense of smell?
@@sboy2044 that's the only hole in my theory, another theory that i have is that instead of golems, they were some sort of magic mech suit worn by the ancient dwellers in an attempt to protect themselves from the sculk, only to be unalived and infected.
@@crazyitalianguy000in my theory they are golem sized villagers who were infected,hence why iron golems with plants/moss over them in villages exist(5:14 kinda supports my theory but I think they mimicked wandering trader,still they sound the same with villagers)
I think it’s genuinely so wonderful that a developers heartbeat is in the game!
sounds exiting 😈😅😂
The Stalker is such a cool name, and I love the fleshy design of The Hollowed, I wish they could've taken the 1 block idea from The Stalker and still kept The Hollowed design, or maybe given the Warden different variants.
4:45 CUTE...
meh :3
At 4:50, wait, so that's its mouth?!... I always thought it was the hole of some kind of hood or balaclava, and its face was behind it, in the shadow, which was why it couldn't see.
Even knowing this, I still can't see anything but a hood now...
I thought it was its nose. 😔
SAME
I thougth those were his eye sockets or something
@@waniyahayt2078blind character, eye sockets ???
@@VilactDoesntSayShitYourselfNow No i meant like its eyeballs fell out of its sockets and thats why it looks so hollow
5:22 the warden is a villager corrupted by sculk thats my theory lol
i think its an axolotl, it has those things in the head and if you revert the color pallete you will see the pink axolotl becomes blue and the warden, pink
The warden Is a thing made out of sculk and bones to protect the sculk
These ideas make me really think they were just like “let’s traumatize our younger players.”
you probably never seen mlp do you ?
back in the summer days before the ancient city was revealed, i and others used to talk regularly all about what could become of the deep dark, all of the horror possibilities, wardens lurking the corridors of a cave ruins. and when the city was revealed, we all lost it, absolute chills. amazing work, devs! 🎉
I love how there’s visible void textures in the hollowed’s design in the hands feet and chest. Give a whole new factor of lore they were trying to work in before the warden was finished
😍😄😄😍
I really like seeing these in development footages of things already in-game
Would love to see the Stalker and the Hollowed some day, even if only as a mod
The Stalker is actually in a mod! It's called Deeper And Darker. It also adds a whole new dimension and a few new uses for sculk
I love the idea of the stalker being able to essentially crouch.
Those first two mods sounded dope, wish they had some version of either, we need more horror
My favorite idea of the lore behind what the warden is and where it came from was due to a RUclipsr known as Owenjuice and his role in a series based of the origins mod, he gave a sense of extremeness to the warden and the deep dark it was intriguing, the portal frame in the ancient city had been given a Horror induced meaning like no other.
Dang, I don't think a cow is harmless. Once, I was pushed off my mob grinder by my pet cow, bean.

Stop being hoax guy
@@Officially3DSFan Imagine taking this as face value
The dwellers XD
Official confirmation... 1.19 is NOT Caves and Cliffs part 3, its _actually_ a Nether Update part 2 (because apparently the ideas for the Warden started with 1.16, as well as the Allay too).
The Stalker randomly attacking and bending to follow you into tunnels is TERRIFYING
I wish you could somehow befriend hostile mobs. I've been playing for over 10 years, and have always felt this way. There should be some Extremely Dangerous method of getting an item that can allow you to tame/befriend any hostile mobs. For example, the endermen... They're friend shaped :3
They always say "hey!" and ask you "what's up?" or "what's this", with a block in hand. They're so cute, at least to me!! And I think it would be nice to befriend them! Maybe they could help you with terraforming, you could, for example, mark an area to flatten in the plains and they'd help you pick up all the blocks!
And whatever the item is that you get to befriend the hostile mobs, you would need like 10 of them to befriend the warden (assuming you could survive long enough to use the 10 items on them!!!) Maybe the warden could use sculk sensors to warn you that creepers or other hostile mobs are nearby! That way you can focus on your build without getting an explosive surprise from behind!
And maybe... JUST maybe... You could work really hard and get enough taming items to tame the ender dragon. But not the first one, oh no. That one's untameable. You could use it on the dragon egg, tame and hatch it in the overworld. You'd still need the end crystals and the whole setup though!
That’s actually a pretty cool idea

Warden: THE VIDEO IS FINISHED! GET OUT!
yeaaaaaah i agree with you on not adding the hollowed that would scare the souls out of the 5 year olds who are casually mining dimonds
5:12 imagine the Warden being a villager from the ancient city that turned into the warden because of the sculk that infested the city which made everyone abandon it
2:40 What is that again?🤨
Trypophobia
Mmmmiiiinnnnneeecccrrraaaffftttt is cool :)
4:27 Ah. The Taken Blight.
1.22 should be a HUGE nature Update including the promised Birch, Savanna, Badlands and Desert Updates; the losers Moobloom, Crab and Penguin; Seasons; Athmosphere features; new biomes and mobs, the villager profession of Beekeeper and mob variants we see in the Spinoffs (Mossy Skeleton and Mossy/Icy Zombie, Cluckshroom/Moolip, Wooly Cow/Horned Sheep and cosmetic variants of farm animals)
Minecraft should really add more Deep Dark exclusive mobs. I already have three ideas based on the Sensor, Shrieker, and Catalyst:
Sludger, the Guided Ears of the Warden. It would like to weep, but it has no eyes
Appears as a sloppy pile of skulk, with a Sensor as a head. Chunks of deepslate may be visible. Passive
Scuttler, the Rickety Ceiling Crawler of the Deep. It would like to listen, but it has no ears
Appears as a skinny, long limbed entity with a Shrieker for a head, with an eye inside if instead of the two souls, taller than the player. Afraid of literally everything, so it hides on the ceilings. Passive
Summoner, the Ordained High Ruler of the Skulk. It would like to scream, but it has no mouth
Appears as an over-the-top Pope staff, forking into four ends at the top for the Catalyst to comfortably sit in. Oh so very very hostile
2:39 also the fine print, lol
5:57 why is nobody talking about this clean transition
I think the stalker would still be cool to see as it’s own thing, hopefully in a mod or add-on. I like that crawling animation.
I think Minecraft should add Copper Golems too, Because I think this is a "Copper Based Update".
You know that in this update, Minecraft added alot more varieties of Copper blocks.
Y’all should make the stalker mob too. Just a creepy mob that can spawn in any cave and just hunt you down. It can be connected to the warden or not, but it’s a cool idea
Minecraft needs some more horror in it besides 2 music discs
Brother, add the stalker, its concept is fascinating, a mod that can sneak around and even go through a block would be the best for Minecraft. That feeling of fear and feeling watched that previously existed in the game was beautifully indescribable, it seems to me that the stalker (the first warden design in Minecraft) is something that the game needs, a hostile mob that reminds us of the fear we felt before in the game something that makes us make a decision whether to enter or not enter that place, the lights turning off the sounds produced by whoever is chasing you, stalking you and passing through blocks where the player would not fit is simply beautiful something that would undoubtedly give a lot of To talk about the game, currently we have wanted a mob like this, please mojang listen to the community and give such a wonderful mob a chance.
Finally history reveal 0:17
Will there be a special April 1st edition?
yes, about potatoes 😅
I knot this i play it
That purple End Portal/Gateway texture on the Hollowed's 'inner' rendering is actually pretty weird to see moving around on a mob. Hope that finds another home someday.
I've been spending a lot of time there. Also that original Warden looked insane.
I have so much love for the horror aspects, even if they're softened up.
1:27 this looks like very similar…
Were you inspired by Siren Head?
I love how before the warden exploring the caves was scary but nearly no singular mob would have us running out of it. Then the warden comes around and 90% of interactions are like "Dude... theres a warden here, we gotta go!"
What made the warden special is the incentive. Many games input difficult enemies or obstacles not for the player to overcome but to consider their actions. There wouldn’t be much fun exploring the ancient ruins if I didn’t have to watch my step and be careful. A mob that doesn’t drop special loot either, the never ending boss, it sounds pointless but I think it’s quite smart and puts a bit of challenege
The combination of Deep Dark, Sculk, Ancient Cities, & the Warden... 🔥🔥🔥
