CUSTOM -> -> -> Uses the custom fields below

Vanilla Warden baseline: 500 HP, 30 base attack damage.
Minecraft clamps minecraft:max_health to 1024, so presets stay below that vanilla limit.

customHealth (CUSTOM only)

Maximum HP for the Warden. Default: 500.0

customDamageMultiplier (CUSTOM only)

Multiplier on the Warden's base attack damage. Default: 1.5
Example: 2.0 = double damage (60 base → 90 on Hard game difficulty)

customLootPreset (CUSTOM only)

Which loot table preset to use: NONE, EASY, NORMAL, HARD, NIGHTMARE, or INSANE

NONE disables all extra loot drops.

customXpReward (CUSTOM only)

How much XP the Warden drops. Default: 25

Minimum: 0
Maximum: 100

Values above 100 are automatically clamped back to 100.
