The deep dark is home to ancient cities, sculk blocks, and the warden. The key to navigating the completely quiet biome is stealth, silence, and more silence. That’s why we decided to go down there and sing our hearts out! Speaking of which, what’s that beating sound? Is it getting louder?
Created for Minecraft Live 2022 by Element Animation. Composed by Will Dodson, vocals by Rob Marnell.

Imagine if he could phase through walls like that how much more terrifying he'd be
Don't give them ideas
Why
N O
@@cjsantiago4035 They gave them self an idea
I mean, he's already pretty terrifying. He can essentially tunnel his way through the ground. The Warden's running speed when mad would make it pretty pointless if he could go through walls, because it's pretty much impossible to run away from him.
This is how I want the Minecraft movie to be like, this is too beautiful.
trueeeee still super hyped for the movie i think you might be in it steve
I hope someday will come.
Watch Black Plasma Studios they make no 1 Minecraft movies Especially watch :SONGS OF WAR ITS EPIC BRO
Black Plasma Studios is better
@@fabledflame Agreed
Is no one going to talk about how the bats basically saved Alex and Steve here? One sacrificed himself so Steve could be pulled out of the pit and the others flew towards the exit so Alex and Steve knew where to go.
Yeah Bats Aren't That Bad It Seems Lol

Whoever animates this stuff has serious talent!
It was Element Animation that animated it (a group of professional animators that animate minecraft content a long time)
Fun fact they also made Villager news
@@melanymayo2220 yeah. Kinda nostalgic on my side

The warden is a definion of a Disney villain. Talented British singer with a lovely voice. Power ballad, opera, you name it.
Yes
Chases after the main character in not-as-intelegent-as-them ways,
This song makes me think of Nightmare Before Christmas
Theres a bot trying to do inappropriate things… do not fall for it or you are dumber than a broken sphero

The face Alex had on 0:26 was absolutely priceless
Aha
She said " -_- "
😂😂😂
she really had the "you got the whole squad laughing" face
Lol
I liked this detail, that you can hear the Warden's heartbeat. 1:53
You hear it throughout the video whenever the Warden is on screen.
Your a liar i cannot hear it
Honestly... I doubt it even has a heart...
@@trumediamix1 "souls beat in its chest"
@@Lefeno_Village To be fair, they're _comparing_ those said souls to a heart. They never said anything about those souls in The Warden's chest actually being a heart in itself.
When the Warden came out of the ground, I truly was expecting him to start dancing with hat and all.
I popped out in my brain immediately after I read your comment
That sounds a lot like thriller by micheal jackson
XD
HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY HONEY HELLO MY RAGTIME PAL

Element animation did such a splendid job on this! Big shoutout to them!
No wonder it was familiar!! Noice

*A person with 1 subscriber really said shoutout*
FAXX THEIR VILLAGER NEWS IS MADE BY THE SAME LEGENDS
@@samzam7890 Who cares about the number of subscribers one has? It doesn't even matter.
1:46 this behavior should be added to vanilla Minecraft on hard mode to really add that extra fear factor
Makimg hard mode more like terraria expert mode like adding mew abilities variants and ai for mobs would be cool
The Dweller can already do that (almost) and people HATE it... (only because of the obvious that it's terrifying.)
after watching this, i think that minecraft should have it's own movie with scenes like this.
They are making a movie
@@rayeesafsari6091Its live action apperently
@@rayeesafsari6091 Yes, but unfortunately it will most likely be a live-action film. Not an animated Minecraft movie like Element Animation does here. It's a pity because I think this movie will turn out badly because of it.
@@BattleSteel25maybe it won’t be blocky, if it be live action, blocky humans would look weird and also the movie could be more scary if it’s live action as too see what the creatures would look like in real life, or that’s what I’m hoping for
If only it was possible to dodge The Warden’s sonic boom attack like they did
Use a shield
@@Tuddyowo that wont work
@@Master_Brutus it does
yo early to your comment
I haven't seen you in a while weird.
Honestly if the warden could dig through blocks like it did in this video I’d be terrified even more of it-
It technically does But Just to spawn and despawn
@@Jpx0999 that mean it doesn't He mean is the wall I guess
@@furrietgdmobileplayer3672 correct
I'm in your wall
me too
Imagine the Phantom of the Opera but it's the Warden instead.
The Warden of the City
I would pay money to see that
The Warden of the Depths The Warden of the Chasm The Warden of the Caverns The Warden of the Ruins
0:40 when she says that her parents aren't home.
The deep dark has accomplished its goal 100%, its probably the only time ive felt fear in vanilla minecraft.
Then youve never seen a creeper when mining diamonds
@@Makkiebobo730 yeah but creepers are more of a surprise then actual fear
Me too ngl
well since im an og ive felt scared in caves when i was young
I used to fear zombies and skeletons so not first time but definitely second time
If the Warden could walk through the walls, fighting him and meeting him would be more exciting.
What the heck is your problem
it would also be terrifying and challenging at the same time
@@RichardSoup he did that on the last part of the video go and see again and it's sound fun if warden could breath through 1 block thick wall it will be more logical and fun
Agree
No it wouldn’t. Just more challenging to survive in hardcore mode.
And they said minecraft isn't a horror game.
@@officialexistingperson4111 Nah mate. It's horror. My buddies and I checked one of the cities out, and the reckless one set off a shrieker, spawning the Warden. It followed me, and by the end of a city wall, I hear it sniff, I turn around and it's facing me from 2 blocks away. Pure horror.
Who said that?
I am so proud of my husband! He composed the music for this piece. Thank you, everyone, for supporting! My heart is full. I can only hope that there is a musical in the future and he’s blessed enough to be on board.
Lol, this is not your husband.
@@SwedishDude45 Will Dodson is my husband. He wrote and performed the piece. The vocals were done by someone else.
@@bdmercer-ri7jv That’s my favorite part, too!
@@princessrella proof?
@@princessrellafor some reason I thought you were saying the warden was your husband for a second 😭
If the warden could crawl through the wall like it did in this animation it would be 100x more terrifying
I thought this was a trailer for that feature for the warden
If so, then no more deep dark for me. But couldn’t you use it to trap the warden? There has to be a block limit right?
i hope there will be data pack or mod that makes that happen
Shhhh Don't give them the idea
Yeah pls dont
Steve and Alex: "lets get some loot" Warden: "one does not simply...walk into ancient cities"
thats when i started blastin
One does not simply say "one does not simply" without giving credits to Boromir
Is no one gonna mention how Steve’s design keeps changing throughout the video?
For those curious, a prime example of this is with the chest: Steve bumps Alex out of the way with his ‘smile’, but the chest closes with his line of a mouth instead.
@@DoenSnikduj That's kind of cool ngl
His design doesn't change, thats just his beard being altered and moved as he moves his mouth. You can't be too detailed with pixel people so Mojang uses Steve's beard to emote his face
@@midnitethedsixl4601 what you talking about thats his mouth lol
@@frostbitetheannunakiiceind6574 there no way Steve smiling in 1:06 where ITS was the bad condition so that mean ITS was beard not smile
Wow. Just… wow! This is amazing! The song deepens the feeling that humans are not meant to be down that far. Like delving so deep is breaking ancient laws of the universe. It also proves my point. Wardens are simply introverts with sensory issues. Their hearing is so sensitive that it would be the equivalent of strobing a bright light in a person’s eyes. And if somebody came into my house and did that, I’d be pretty upset too.
Agree
Shoutout to the team behind this they did a amazing job ❤
😂😁😂😂
Element animation really is amazing!
Element Animation nailing it as always.
Element animations is literally the best

i thnik they wanted to do that but they deciden not to because he was already powerful as it is
@@reni451I really don’t understand those people - They so much want to die??
Come down to the dark There's no one around An ancient city with riches to be found But don't make a peep And be light on your feet 'Cause if you make a sound There's something you'll meet The Warden will rise It has no eyes, it can sense you in the dark And hunt you as you hide Oh no, it's too late You've sealed your fate It just needs a whiff And it can find you with one sniff You steal and you rob Invading its home Causing a commotion Get out of this catacomb Souls beat in its chest There's no time to rest And you've been a bad guest So run, you cacophonous pest Come down to the dark
We got captions for a reason
E da medo
You steal and roam*

Perfect for the spooky season of Halloween. Or, as I call it, “The day of the warden.”
i agree really encapsulates the entire Halloween vibe I try to do the same with my builds but the wardens singing voice is on another level !!!
They truly got as dark as they could while still maintaining their “E” rating. Also it’s gonna scare the living daylight sensor out of me if I find out the hard way those long-distance attacks are real.
That long range attack is real, and in-game its undodgeable and rips out half your health no matter what type of armor you wear
I thought minecraft was 10+
haaaaa....... you probably shouldn't go to the deep dark then...
@@Master_Brutus including prot 4 netherite
@@Master_Brutus it is dodgeable But you need to be flying at near max possible speed with a elytra And in this place that is near impossible to do whitout hitting something
They should totally add the orchestral version of this into the game as a music disc 😁
It’s like I’m in a friends house and they tell me their parents aren’t home then they come back when they say that😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:20 the warden scared a beard onto Steve's face
XD
the scariest thing about this is that they managed to doge the warden scream
It's not his scream
That's why i want dodgrs in Minecraft

1:29 That bat is the real hero, sacrificed himself to save Steve.
if the battle against the warden had a soundtrack:
I exceeded my expectations to knowing Minecraft would make masterful albums like this one.
minecraft didnt make it, element animations did
@@hrmm_9 I know, but still ya know?
the part at 1:21 actually gave me chills, congratulations
this is unbelievably catchy, such a nice song, the singer needs a raise!
I wish we had a TV series or movie with this kind of animation style.
ikr
They really put some lore into the lyrics and I’m pretty sure nobody noticed it: “Invading its home” (1:25) “Get out of this catacomb” (1:31) “Souls beat in its chest” (1:33)
first you call it 'it' then 'he' so it's just 'this catacomb
its hard not to notice, the lyrics are pretty easy to hear.
SUBTILES: AM I A JOKE TO YOU
I only noticed it because I wach youtub on sub titles.
I noticed the "Invading it's home"
this is amazing and captures the entire vibe of the deep dark so perfectly also warden goes brrrrrr
brrrrrrrr
Why does everyone go bbbrrrrrr
Brrrrrrrrr
@O neguinto ?
warden goes brrrrr indeed lol
I can only imagine how hard it would be for the Warden to shift through walls!
The Way the warden slowly treads everywhere makes it seem so much more ominous than its silly run in the game .
I quite like it's in game walk/run cycle, the way it shambles about and looks like its always on the verge of collapsing gives it a lot of character and a real "horrific monster" vibe, and the way it goes full throttle when running is unnatural and horrifying when it's coming at you, in my opinion
Seeing the warden at the end just phasing/digging through the wall then just standing there gives the idea that Steve and Alex unleashed something terrible that they can’t escape
I like it! It gives me Nightmare before Christmas vibes.
my thoughts exactly
Exactly
I can''t believe they hired Element Animation for this, i mean they deffinitely deserved this! This is sick!
1:48 imagine how difficult would be the Warden if it could do that
@Jariah Allen OH FU-!!
@@cerberus_vt yes .. ck
Ngl the concept of the entire cave lighting up for a moment and then literal screams being heard as a blind monster pulls itself out of the ground near you is an absolutely terrifing idea that i would never have believed would be in vanilla minecraft
*granted only a small area of sensors will actually activate and you can only activate 1 shrieker at a time, giving you 3 offenses before it's finally summoned, but still
It’s honestly really pleasing to see an old studio like Element Animation go from making fun little Minecraft animations to being fully integrated into Mojang’s staff and producing the most beautiful features for their main events. The singing voice I also loved.
Wow, who knew the Warden would be such a great singer!
"The Warden will rise, it has no eyes" must be one of the best song lyrics I have ever heard.
No eyes*
oh I can agree
I'm getting Nightmare Before Christmas vibes and I love it!!!
im not the only one yay
Me too!!!
Indeed
They need to give the warden the ability to pass through walls alongside its other abilities, and they need to add yellow mushrooms like we saw them block the tunnel off with
Only Element Animations could make something this wonderful!
No matter how many times I go, ancient cities always give me heart attacks.
skill issue
@@JVictorOH true lol they are easy
imagine if the warden actually could go through wals like the last clip . that would be amazing
Dont
This is how I want the minecraft movie to look like
The particle effects from when the warden phases through the wall! It’s so well animated! Dang! Props to element animation!
The singing was beautiful, this was amazing as it captures the feeling and aura of how the deep dark is.

If only the minecraft movie would be like this instead of sh*tty live action.
@@Faceless538 ahhhhhh so true

I get literal shivers listening to this, it's that…well, not scary (I think), but the song combined with the animation is really striking
Therapist: singing warden doesn't exist, it can't hurt you Singing warden:
Eh...one of these meme comments.
Who else wants this on spotify ASAP?
Warden, you son of a skulk. I love this guy.
This feels like an old song that the ancient civilization Made.
Just add a hidden area to the ancient ruins, optionally give it a unique chest that can’t be crafted and put in it a song meant to put the Warden to sleep when played - a lullaby.
Thats nice
I love how well produced this is, I need a full album now!
This kinda gave me the chills😅
Imaging actually trigering that much skulk sensor with just activating one skulk sensor 0:26 I'd be terrified

Element Animation is still one of the greatest Minecraft animation groups ever!
Definitiv the best it captures the feeling minecraft perfectly

1:51 THE LEGENDARY COME WORD
0:56 Actually made me laugh XD
The wardens got them vocals 🎶🎶
When he starts to sing unexpectedly made me jump. I wasn’t expecting it
This was one of the best parts of the live, amazingly catchy.
1:35 main character advantage
This sounds like something you’d hear in tim burton’s nightmare before Christmas
I would love an extended version of this song :0 the chorus could be from “You steal and you roam” to “you cacophonous pest”
This needs to be in the Minecraft movie! 🤩
Love Element Animation, so that confirms that he's not exactly digging through the floor like we thought. He's phasing his way through it while he pulls himself up.
1:18 THE BEST BEAT DROP
0:53 My favorite part
"The Warden will rise; it has no eyes" hits almost as hard as sonic boom hits hardcore players
Something nobody asked for or even wanted but we can’t live without
We really need the cobblestone guitar in the game.
Element Animation know it's a smile 😎 Awesome stuff this year!!
💀
Imagine if the lighting was just this. Its beautiful.
