Warden's Omen

I have been thinking about what the Minecraft devs have said about the Warden, and could add a new idea in the mix.

I think the ideas are very good for the feel of mining in Minecraft. It should totally be almost impossible to kill the Warden and even make it not necessary for an average player to kill it. But on the other hand telling someone not to do it makes them even want to do it more. So that's where this idea comes from.

Make it so that if for some mysterious reason and in an incredible way the player kills the/a Warden, the world itself could turn on the player. So the Warden doesn't drop anything but gives the player a Warden's Omen effect that stays active pretty much as long as the Bad Omen effect (or even longer). This could make all other mobs stronger or spawn at day around that player and mobs actively tracking the player even if they don't see them, or maybe even make the player weaker for a while.

This would make it so that the player is "punished" for Killing the Warden, but on the other hand still give a challenge for advanced players. Also, the effect could be added to those needed for the hidden "How Did We Get Here?" achievement making it necessary for achievement hunters.

  I think it would be a bit excessive to actually punish players for killing it. A way to keep the intended gameplay intact while giving the players a means to defeat it and a reward for doing so would be to make the Wardens themselves immune to damage and instead spawn a "warden heart" block for each which they patrol around. You would have to sneak around the warden to search for their heart, which when destroyed would kill/disable the Warden, while also giving you the reward of the heart itself.

  Looking to the idea again I think the effects mentioned could be a little too much but the idea remains. Possibly the effects could be depending on difficulty.
  The Warden heart idea I also think is tempting, but then you must think why should a player look for the heart and kill it other than just killing the beast. Doesnt this contradict the idea of "we dont want the player to kill the warden"?
  Then again my idea around the "How did we get here?" achievement should not be added.
  Here's another idea about the Warden heart, what if it simply stuns the Warden?
