Warden Challenge
Datapack that replaces all hostile mobs with wardens
Screenshots


About this Mod
This datapack simply replaces (almost) every hostile mob in the game. It leaves any mob that is necessary to get to the End and beat the game. This datapack was designed for use in a YouTube video, and you can play it for a real challenge. While similar to [https://modrinth.com/datapack/wardens-challenge](Wardens Only) by MCLegoMan and https://youtube.com/@JudgeAlex, this datapack varies slightly in how the wardens are spawned in and handled.

Warden Challenge server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Warden Challenge compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and quilt?
Warden Challenge officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.6. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Warden Challenge – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Warden Challenge consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
