Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Warden drops

The warden reminds me of end-portal blocks. Sometimes strongholds are in inconvenient places. Make a rare drop for a warden be a warden heart (or similar item) used to craft end portal blocks. This will give incentive to fight the beasts and will not impact the search for strongholds as it will be easier to find a stronghold than kill enough wardens to make an end portal. Endstone could also be used in the recipe to ensure that players find a stronghold before making thier own portal.

    i really like this idea! I absolutely agree about strongholds being in inconvenient places and it would be such a great feature to make your own stronghold like room in your base, this feature could maybe also be used for some minigames. I now want this feature to be a thing!

    Yes! This is a great idea! I want to flex on people with an end portal in my own house. I also agree that it should cost endstone as well to craft, so you have to find an end portal. My only concern for this is, at the moment, there is no way to break end portal blocks, so you would have to implement a way to break end portal blocks

    Yes I 100% agree but if they don’t choose it I hope it is as good of an idea 🤞they do this tough it is a great idea and I travel if to the stronghold is a pain if it is a long way away like it is most of the time

    I agree, I also realized that one of the skulk blocks has some yellow at the bottom that looks like endstone. This is why I think minecraft might be already planning to make this. So maybe combine the warden's heart with the skulk(endstone) looking block to make a end portal frame. Also it doesn't make sense that you would need something only found in the end to make the portal, because then how would the ancient builders of the end portal frame have made it.

    Also breaking an end portal frame block wouldn't make it drop as an item.

    I liked the idea at first, but I see three huge flaws with this;

    • In a way, that's what makes the Stronghold interesting in the first place. It's like the spawner rooms; what makes them interesting is that you have to travel there, build roads, and build around the structure.

    • End Portal Frames are indestructible, and for a reason! Having them be craftable with Endstone could mean that griefing yourself or others would ruin worlds. 

    • Perhaps farming Wardens (with Lava buckets or otherwise) will ruin their fear factor for many, while that fear is at the heart of their design and is the main reason they were added in the first place! Maybe Wardens shouldn't drop anything at all. Maybe it should instead guard loot found in structures.

    Good idea and for the indestructible portal blocks. They could add a different version of it that is craftable and could be broken.

    A bad idea considering an end portal block is unbreakable so a player could potentially misplace it and breaking the player's world.

    Maybe you shouldn’t need endstone cos that’s just mean :(. But you could replace it for obsidian, and the Warden’s heart could be used to make other items.

    In my opinion the idea sounds good. But it would completely eliminate the scare factor of Wardens. I believe that Wardens should drop something. Not stuff used to craft End portal blocks but perhaps a special item used to craft weapons better then Netherite. Due to the fact that Netherite is extremely hard to get. For this would make players want to kill Wardens more. Or perhaps enchanted books and a new enchantment. I'm not against Warden drops but I think they should be "treasure items," or weapons that players can put to good use.

    NO, The whole point of the End Portal Frame is that you have to find it. It will break the purpose if you can just craft it. And stop asking for Warden to drop something. Instead of making the warden drop something, why not put the thing you want inside the Loot Chest in The Deep Dark. That's the whole purpose of the Warden.

    Maybe the heart could shoot a beam like the warden does

    The thing is the warden is kind of useless. When it spawns people just run away and wait for it to despawn. It's existence seems kinda pointless. If it dropped something like this it would be good for two reasons. Number 1, Incentive. As it is now, there is no incentive to fight it, making this well designed boss, pointless to fight. Number 2, convenience. Keep in mind, this is an end-game item for after you have defeated the dragon and already found the portal. (maybe it should only spawn after the dragon is killed). You would still need to find the portal, but once you get enough warden hearts, you could craft your own. It is a pain to travel through the nether highway to get to the portal, so for convenience (AFTER DRAGON IS DEFEATED) It would be pretty useful. Sure the loot in the chests are pretty good, but there is still no point to the warden existing. One warden would only drop one heart, so you would need to fight twelve to get a portal. It seems challenging, but would add something the warden needs in minecraft. PLUS there is no current end game content in minecraft so I think this is a REALLY GOOD IDEA. Thank you for listening to my TED talk. goodbye.
