The terrifying Minecraft mob The Warden spreads a Darkness effect, and this atmospheric ability is even more spectacular with ray-tracing technology. Set for release in the upcoming Wild Update, The Warden is a nearly unstoppable foe who guards the Deep Dark underground biome. While The Warden survives a minute in lava, the Darkness effect is perhaps the scariest part of the blind behemoth.
Minecraft's Wild Update, planned to release in 2022, will introduce two expansive new biomes called Mangrove Swamps and the Deep Dark. While the swamps will add mangrove trees and frogs to the above-ground world, the Deep Dark is a terrifying underground realm that offers valuable rewards for those that dare to explore it. The buried ruins will contain the Sculk element, which spreads when a mob is killed nearby and alerts The Warden to the player's presence. The underground guardian's enormous health pool, alongside a Darkness effect that lowers visibility as it approaches, makes it an intimidating foe. However, one crafty Minecraft player did kill The Warden with fireworks using a specialized setup.

A flowing stream of lava becomes the only source of light in the entire area, making the underground ruins even more unsettling and signaling the arrival of a truly unstoppable foe. This stark contrast between the lit Deep Dark and its darkened counterpart is achievable only with RTX.
