Before the friends ever met a warden, they had a plan for not meeting one: wool. On Season 2 prop had been farming it “since the beginning” for the ancient city 1, and Emperor Sian agreed that they needed “lots of wool before we go there” 2. Wool and carpet muffle vibrations, so a path of it lets you walk past sculk sensors and shriekers without a sound.
The line of life
In July 2022 the group laid wool and carpet routes through the city, and prop gave the rule that went down in the museum:
this white line is our line of life
If you hear a warden, you “get on the white wool line” and “run for your fucking lives” 5 6.
What they worked out
Between them they pieced together the rules of the thing:
- The fourth shriek is the one that spawns a warden 7.
- To make a warden despawn you have to stay at least 20 blocks away for a minute 8.
- Only natural shriekers count, because placed ones do not spawn wardens 9.
- Towering up does not save you 10.
A year later, on the Earth server, prop gave the full lecture. Wool is “safest”, and a warden has three states: “1) neutral 2) searching 3) you are fucked” 11 12. A searching warden will not stand down while anything is still making noise nearby, and a furious one will “pathfind to you in giga speeds” 13 14.
