Warden Drops

A small datapack that gives the Warden actual loot on death, since vanilla it drops nothing.

Built for Minecraft 26.2 (data pack format 107.1).

What it drops

One roll per kill, so you never get more than one thing:

• Silence Armor Trim - 20%
• Ward Armor Trim - 20%
• Swift Sneak I book - 18%
• Swift Sneak II book - 9%
• Swift Sneak III book - 4%
• Nothing - 29%

Trims are common enough to be worth fighting for, but they're duplicable at a smithing table so they're kept modest. Swift Sneak books are the real reason to keep killing Wardens, and get rarer the higher the level so they don't flood the server.

For reference, actual ancient city loot chest rates are Swift Sneak Book 23.2%, Ward Armor Trim 5.0%, Silence Armor Trim 1.2% (rarest template in the game). Ours are deliberately different since this is a Warden kill reward, not a chest, but good to keep in mind.

Variants

The loot table comes in a couple of flavors, so people can pick whichever fits their needs. same odds, different rules:

• default - drops no matter what kills the Warden (lava, fall damage, etc. all count).
• player_kill - only drops if a player actually lands the kill.

Install

Download the variant you want, drop the resulting pack into your world's datapacks/ directory, then run /reload (or restart the server).
