No mobs are coming in Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs update

The first Caves & Cliffs update introduced three new mobs: axolotls, goats, and glow squids, and the second part of the update was going to add a new mob called the warden.

It was going to be one of the unique Overworld mobs that is blind and hostile. It could detect vibrations from the player’s footsteps and attack them.

However, the developers decided that in order to release the Minecraft 1.18 update on time, they have to hold back a few features, including the warden. They announced this during Minecraft Live 2021.

The good news is that the warden and other features that have been removed will eventually be added to Minecraft with the Minecraft 1.19: The Wild Update that will come out next year.

Along with the warden, quite a few interesting features announced last year at Minecraft Live 2020 will not be released this year. Here’s a list of every feature that has been removed from Minecraft 1.18, in addition to the warden:

• Sculk sensors
• Deep dark caves
• Bundles
• Archeology
