Wardens gain more HP, deal more damage, and drop better loot and XP or you make the Warden a one hit kill and deal almost zero damage, it's completely up to you. Fully configurable!
Generated automatically on first launch. You can edit it directly or use Mod Menu when both Mod Menu and Cloth Config are installed on the client:
json
{
"difficulty": "NORMAL",
"customHealth": 500.0,
"customDamageMultiplier": 1.5,
"customLootPreset": "NORMAL",
"customXpReward": 25
}

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`.
/harderwardens reload - OP (lvl 2) - Reloads the config from disk
/harderwardens info - OP (lvl 2) - Shows current difficulty settings
Note: Existing Wardens keep their current stats after /harderwardens reload. Loot table changes still require /reload or a restart.
