Warden weakness and possible loot

The new warden should have a weakness that lets you get past it without having to sneak or being killed.  There are some things that I think might be useful for that.  First, if you make a loud noise near it, like blowing up TNT or killing another mob, it could stun it for a few seconds.  Second, maybe you could use an item on it to weaken it.  I think maybe shears or dragon's breath might work.  If you used shears on the warden, you could disable/cut off the feelers on its head, which drop as an item, but new ones would grow back in a little bit of time.  During that time, the warden wouldn't be able to sense vibrations.  You could also do the same thing to sculk sensors, which wouldn't work for a long time, which would be useful in redstone contraptions that you don't want to set off by accident.  Also, you could use dragon's breath on the souls in its chest, doing 15 damage for each one you use and changing it into a new item called the soul bottle.  You could brew either the warden feelers or the soul bottle into a potion called the warden's potion, and kind of like a potion of the turtle master, it would come with negative effects too.  It would give you blindness for 45 seconds, but it would also give you strength IV, resistance II, speed I, and a new effect called sensing I, which would outline anything within twenty blocks that makes a vibration with a cyan glow, kind of like the glowing effect but only visible to you.

  I really don't understand the problem with stealth. Most people have never even tried stealth in Minecraft to decide whether it'd be fun or not. Stealth could definitely be one of the most fun types of gameplay we've had. It has a lot of fear and nerve-rack associated with it, and it really brings back that feeling of the first night in Minecraft. It's not like you'd bother moving very quickly when you're in the Deep Dark; I personally don't mind sneaking and moving slowly at all if I'm doing something fun and engaging (like trying to loot chests from a mysterious structure without dying). Minecraft needs to have a variety of gameplay, and since the game lets you rush through almost every aspect of it, it's definitely great to have an aspect of the game where you need to be extremely careful in exchange for extremely unique rewards. It definitely fits with the theme and vibe of the deep underground and makes it very unique from my perspective. Having a way to avoid stealthing, even if it is "extremely late-game", will absolutely kill that fun out of the Deep Dark experience, making it like looting a Shipwreck at worst or defeating the Ender Dragon at best. A lot of people would use the easy method even if it kills the fun for them. If you really don't want to stealth, just avoid the Deep Dark as a whole. If you really want the loot but still don't want to stealth for some reason, just play Peaceful.
