I honestly think this prototype design of the Warden is nightmare fuel. I mean this looks like something straight out of a horror movie. It also reminds me of the John mod for some odd reason.

I'm just glad the Warden we have today isn't as horrifying as it's prototype. Otherwise if we had this, it would be something us players wouldn't wanna encounter in the deep dark.

  1. It would’ve been much scarier. I honestly think it’d be cool if they repurposed it in the future.

    I don’t think the main problem was that it’s scary but that it makes people like me (with trypophobia) wanna throw up

    Others might think it’s cool, but to me it just rings of those crappy “entity mob horror” mods. The final design is a lot better.

    It’s scarier and definitely should’ve been a “variant” so it’s a surprise which version we would get when it spawns. If theyre worried about kids getting too scared, it could be an option to turn off the variant?

  5. It’s honestly too fleshy like, it also suggests a body horror type of lore which obviously not fitting with Minecraft at all lol

  6. Might be a little too scary looking. Well not exactly scary but it is kinda triggering my trypophobia that its very uncomfortable to look at

  7. I love it. Makes the warden even more terrifying. But they definitely made the right call not going with this design. Way too scary for a kids game. A child could easily be traumatized by that thing lol.

  8. I’m sure no one will know this but his head looks like a striker enemy/sleeper from the horror co-op game, “GTFO”.

    I kinda hate it for minecraft, and the design today is much better. The design is a cool concept but isnt fit for minecraft, and it’s a bit too horrifying for minecraft… also I don’t feel like the white goes with the design and the yellow teeth also fuck it up lol. I also think it looks plain and lacks a bit of personality, it doesn’t have much detail but again I think this could definitely be cool in a mod (with the design upgraded a tad) or in a separate game, but not in regular minecraft.

    Absolutely terrible. End portal textures aren’t supposed to be used on entities

    Conceptually interesting, but it feels too standoffish for overworld. Would expect it more from the nether or end. The current design is DEFINITELY better, especially for the location they put it in. I personally play with shaders, but even before then I was terrified by the sheer ambience that this beast gave off, and the design is a big part of that. I would definitely be disgusted by the original idea, but nothing screams dread like Darkness that listens.
