It would be cool if when you use a name tag labelled “William” on a warden it becomes a dancing warden

Seeing all the old designs is really cool, holy…

I love how Mojang doesn’t take themselves too seriously

There NEEDS to be an achievement for killing the Warden called “Prison Break”

"the most horrific feature in Minecraft" "The combat" This has me wheezing xD

4:03 "You will never have to encounter the Warden" - Oh I know exactly what I will try to bring to the surface for my friends

0:56 These guys are really self-aware and I really enjoy that

Idea: naming a warden “William” will give it a tophat and neutralize it. If you were to then play a music disc, it dances.

Amazing video! Loved the concept art

Wardens cool, wish the sensor still looked like the original reveal it was so creepy and twitchy before

I'm really glad they didn't do the trypophobia design, even as someone who loves body horror. If they did do it I'd hope they'd allow for an alternative for those who suffer from tryophobia.

M.A.R.I.L.L.A: _”Where’s your soul?”_ Meanwhile, in Subcon Forest, Snatcher tells Hat Kid (who he has admitted he “will tolerate”) a tale of the time he visited the Minecraft world.

If you place a jukebox with a disc, Warden will dance, and then you can explore the dark biome. Can't wait for the update Minecraft.

Narrator: "Let me introduce Minecraft's most horrific feature yet." Phantom: *Laughs in insomnia*

-allow me to introduce you to minecrafts most horrific feature yet -the combat I almost spit out everything from laughter

1:34 "a six-sided snitch" is the most underrated line.

"Allow me to introduce you to Minecraft's most horrific feature yet." "The combat!" Never have I seen a funnier, well delivered, self-depreciating joke in my life. Mojang, you have all my respect.

I actually had a dream this night about the 1.19 update. I was just mining for diamonds and found the biome, i fell down and the sculk sensor went off and i ran to the biome. There were like 5 wardens and i hid, found a chest, and found 40 enchanted iron ingots, an enchanted diamond chestplate and some nice iron boots. (don't ask) it was a double chest (again, don't ask) and i created a perfect distraction when they ran after me. I just placed down a jukebox and played chirp on it and ran away... Then i woke up

“Time to talk about Minecraft’s most horrific feature yet.” “The combat!” That got me laughing

Narrator: "time to talk about Minecraft's most horrific feature yet" Marilla: *"The Combat!"* This hits hard for every pre 1.9 PvP player...

Seeing the Warden rise up from the ground in the Minecon clip was the scariest thing I've ever seen come out of Minecraft. You literally can't hide or run which makes it so scary

i wonder why they would consider designing the sculks after a phobia. then, the people with the fear might not want to interact with the sculks since it triggers their phobia.

The reason they called it the “warden” is because of its purpose. What “warden” means is somebody in charge of protecting something or to take care of something.

The warden looks so tame compared to the early versions of it.. we almost had an scp in the game o-o

So excited for the warden!

0:17 ....did...Did Marilla just threaten to dox us?

The absolute wave oc relief I just felt knowing Skulk textures were almost Trypophobia themed 💀 I loved all of the design ideas but that one has my skin crawling 😂 I LOVE the blues in the one y'all went with tho

If the skulk used the trypophobia design, it would genuinely become a true horror game.

I love that they're acknowledging the terrible combat, not many devs seem to be able to take jokes about their own game

3:34 . I love this design more than the confirmed one.

“Allow me to introduce you to minecrafts most horrific feature yet” “The combat” I couldn’t stop laughing at that lol

We had Jean for the Ender Dragon, Simmons for the Wither, and now William for the Warden. Nice.

New rare mob that can spawn exclusively in the Deep Dark: A skeleton with no weapons, named simply "Narrator".

I love this style of video presentation for design concepts! The sense of humor shows the mindset of the dev team is still very much in tune with the community, something both unique to this game, and essential to its success. Well done!

5:10 you know someone is gonna make "I survivied 100 days in hardcore in the deep dark"

the early warden design is SO SCARY WHAT

I love how they disguise a behind-the-scenes video as a comedy sketch!

I really like the design of the hollow mob (especially it's crystal and moss varients) and those trypaphobia designs ought to be part of whatever the next dimension is. they're very unique and i can totally envision them being part of a more unique dimension in order to distinguish itself from the other 3. A "rot" dimension sounds absolutely amazing.

a very cool video! Something I wanted to suggest about the Warden is that if the player is X number of blocks above the warden (Ex: in a 4 tower) he can hit the ground breaking some blocks, or throwing the player backwards causing him to fall from the tower with the knockback.

The old Warden design look's so creepy like, imagine seeing that at a dark abandoned mansion.

So we got, Steve, Alex, Jean The Enderdragon, Simmons The Wither, and finally William The Warden. I love bosses having actual names, even if it's not in game, it's cool!

Can't wait for the deep dark. I'm going to be constantly on edge walking around that place.

this is the coolest update video hands down its awesome

I'll be disappointed if the Warden doesn't magically get a bow tie and cane whenever you play a music disc near it

This makes me wonder if they are teasing that the Warden might be soothed by music from noteblocks, jukeboxes and maybe a future instruments item. Maybe a goat horn could be used in a way to interact with the warden

I really like how the star-like texture of the end portal is visible through the holes of the prototype at 3:37

My new favorite mob, this is so cool :)

I love how MARILLA is worried about Jens hearing them 😭😂

Please make the dancing Warden real, maybe I could use that in a 1920s video or something 👀

Something I’ve noticed If you look within the mouth or holes of the beta Warden, the same texture for the End Portal/Gateway can be seen. The Warden and the Hollow it was supposed to be affiliated with could’ve been connected at one point with The End. Some of the other beta designs look like concepts for the Watcher from Minecraft Dungeons, an Enderman littered with eyes on its body. Just some things to think about as I’ve been studying Willia- I mean.. the Warden.

I really like the third sculk desing i hope they add it in the future like just a corruption and mobs will be able to corrupt if they stay here for too long

Those concept designs are really pushing the game's age-rating, holy Herobrine...

It's official, it's canon; Alan Becker's "instrument-taming the warden idea" is a real thing

3:24 this image contains most of my favourite variants. Suggestion: add multiple warden variations to the game so it wont just be one version.

seeing on of the old designs showing the smart design with the patches like the end portal gives out its cover

Narrator: "Time to talk about Minecraft's most horrific feature" MARILLA: "The combat! HOW DID THEY KNOW?

Narrator: * Befriends the warden with music * Animation vs Minecraft fans: "I've seen that before, it's a classic!"

Oh my goodness XD XD this was awsome!

Cool, they are finally adding me into the game.

The early warden texture is more traumatising than my childhood. Edit: I meant William

3:25 they should add that vined up version as as lush caves mob that would hide with the growth and sthlk you! In other cave areas it’d have camouflage there as well. That version looks so awesome.

I do love how all of this is cannon. can't what to meet William and play my mossy cobblestone guitar to make him tap dance.

My theory is that this ancient city had an ancient civilization living in it (ancient builders) and the warden was like a protector or golem (hence the name Warden) .But the sculk infection infected it killing everyone but the warden survived but corrupted by the sculk.

"In-Game items for The Narrator's outfit sold separately in the Character Creator. Though why you'd want to look like The Narrator is beyond us." I love this company.

“Allow me to introduce you to Minecraft’s most horrific feature yet” “The combat” This one made me lol 😂

I love these types of videos

"Allow us to introduce you to Minecraft's most horrific feature yet: the combat" Earned my like right there 👍

“Try not to host a Minecraft UKposts series down there” Already guessed the 100 days videos

"The combat!" This show is self-aware gold

I love this series, it’s so funny ! 😂😂

William is an old name based of the germanic name William-helm. And wil-helm , and by extension Williams definition is strong/passionate protector I’m guessing this is intentional so well done mojang

Mobs like William, frogs have special animations. Frogs have a slow step and their feet movements are more detailed to match it's slow movements. William gets a buncha new animation, especially walking one. Unlike the other mobs just walk with just army and leg patterns the same. Is the developer team planning to update their animations? Could be a simple fix of how the Vindicator, Piglin and Brute have a unique sword holding arm when they spot a target. About the breeding, turtles lay eggs on sand, frogs lay eggs in water, and bees just pop out a tiny bee? Doesn't really make sense isn't it? Because this is the caves and cliffs maybe it's time the bats deserve some love. Those are some of my ideas for the game! No, this is not some sort of complaint or criticism to the Minecraft game. Thank you for understanding!

I'm so glad they scrapped the trypophobia skulk blocks. I would not have been able to deal with that. Also, the early Warden designs were some serious SCP stuff. (3:34) I can't believe Mojang even considered going that route.

-Minecraft's most horrific feature yet -The combat *- The warden*

With this new update coming to Minecraft, I feel a Minecraft dungeons Deep Dark DLC would be amazing seeing how much structure is being put into the caves and having so many cave themed mobs! If this doesn’t happen, then I’m still happy we’re getting this in the main game!!!

Marilla: "Runs on Windows 11" That explains why she doesn't work half the time or is missing features!

I wish there were chests for each wood type. The warped wood chests would look absolutely incredible in the deep dark!!

Seeing the early Warden designs gave me an idea for a texture pack- a Horror themed pack with all of the mobs and blocks having early or scarier designs.

Just an idea to make wanting to beat the warden more enticing. Get the pieces of the disc, beat 3 wardens for a specialized drop that all combines for an achievement of an expanded inventory similar to the backpack mod that is only accessible with this achievement.

5:33 The way that warden dances to the music is hilarious

Marilla and Narrator make the most eerie yet entertaining duo ever, don't they

Idea, if you play a Jukebox near a Warden, it grows engraged and begins smashing down all the blocks around it. However, if you manage to nametag a Warden as 'William' and then play a Jukebox (in that order) it will dance. Once.

3:35 This is the stuff of nightmares, I see why they didn’t add it

now more than ever, there's need to be a feature where you can "befriend" the warden with music blocks. like the note blocks, or do like what Alan Becker did in one of his recent minecraft shorts

"William: This is now official canon. Even if the minecraft developers deny it." That was the best part :)

1:18 Wardy do be *DANCING!* Seriously Mojang, make the Warden tamable so it will show us it’s moves.

imagine if there was more powerful mobs like this / boss mobs where it can absolutely annihilate you if you're not careful

They could also just add the stalker as another mob that exist in the deep dark, another species of warden that evolved differently. The stalker would prioritize reach and ability to camouflage.

So we have the Warden, but will he also dance when he will be Released in the game? it would be cool feature to see a Warden dance while going to the deep dark

Wow hats off to whoever built the set for this video.

Funny ASF great Job:)

the sheer fact that a team of people animated a creature made of rectangular prisms dancing fills me with joy

Some of the deep dark earlier concepts were extremely cool, it would be great if some of them were reimplemented as something else

Yey im so excited to the new update!

This video reminded me of little big planet. This was great

"The Most Horrific feature in Minecraft" "The Combat" *O H T H E M I S E R Y*

I'd love if they were to reuse these designs and concepts They're stellar.

Those early designs are so interesting!! And TERRIFYING I'm glad they chose the current design

Very entertaining!

“The Warden” is an interesting name choice, and i’ve got a theory for that. Wardens, like wardens of prisons, are built to keep things in. To protect something and make sure it’s preserved, like prisoners in their jail cell. A warden in this context would want to keep their inmates alive and in order, in check. In Minecraft’s context, i propose the Wardens purpose is to protect whatever’s in the Deep Dark- which could be extremely valuable seeing as there’s an entire creature(s) to this cause. An ancient civilization dwelled long ago beneath the ground and harnessed their surroundings, or the power of the Skulk to their advantage. They manufactured and created protectors (the warden) and other systems for their civilization. Much like how Villagers create Iron Golems to protect their village. As the last of the Deep Dark died, their creations were still left behind and thriving from their remains. This is what the Warden protects. This civilization must’ve been adapted to the dark since it’s so hard to see and it’s tech is based on smell and sound rather than sight… I’m curious to see more lore and detail put into the Deep Dark soon!
