Wardens in peaceful mode should still spawn, but not kill when spotted.

I was thinking how the deep dark could still be scary in Peaceful mode as, without the wardens, would lose much of what makes it scary in the first place.

Then I learned of a horror game called SOMA, which includes a "safe mode". In this mode, the monsters in this game still behave like they would. but if when they spot you, they don't attack you instead just staying still and acknowledging you.

 I think something like this would be perfect for peaceful mode as it still gives that sense of danger while also providing a testing grounds of sorts to new players, who might be way to scared to enter, I would have when I started playing.

Now, I do realize that unless people looked into the deeper mechanics of Minecraft, they might never know that this "safe mode" option even exist. Which is why I would also like to suggest having peaceful mode as a kind of safe practice mode to help players ease into Minecraft survival mode proper. This would mean changing peaceful mode to quite a degree.

I think in the long run it will be a good investment to make as one of biggest problems I heard people complaint about is that "it's too scary for young children". Having a mode that helps those who might not yet be comfortable with anything remotely scary would help them build confidence when confronting the many terrors that lurk in this wonderful blocky sandbox.

Though, I doubt that even this would make the wardens less scary.

  Looks like there's some good news for you: the warden currently spawns in the experimental Bedrock Beta, but it doesn't attack the player. It just runs to where they are and screams at them. Once the warden gets to where the player is, it appears it just stays there, screaming, even after the player walks away. I'm guessing that's to avoid players constantly being chased by a screaming warden since that wouldn't be very fun either.

  I can see where you're coming from with the idea of a "safe mode", but what else would you change? I'm not a fan of changing Peaceful Mode substantially since that's the main way I play. I like gathering, exploring, and building. I don't mind being scared, otherwise I wouldn't go anywhere near lava. I just don't like fighting at all and have no desire to fight mobs ever.

  Edit: And of course the day after I submit this comment, they release a snapshot that stops the Warden from spawning in peaceful lol

  The warden still should spawn and try to kill the player in peaceful mode but just does less damage. I feel like that's more balanced for the loot the ancient city gives. like it does 6 hearts on peaceful mode (2 hearts for ranged)

  ONLY if it's spawn through the shreikers. it would attack the player.
