Will the Warden Spawn in Peaceful Mode?
The answer to this question is "yes" and "no" simultaneously. The Warden is a hostile mob that can only spawn in the deep dark biome with a shrieker, its spawn point. However, it does not kill any players that spot it and does not attack them automatically. Instead, it acts as a passive mob while still providing a significant sense of danger and excitement while exploring.
What Sets the Warden Apart in Peaceful Mode?
In Peaceful mode, the Warden’s only goal is to spawn successfully and patrol its area as usual. It does not have the ability to identify or track players, except for their noise levels (more on this later).
Why Does the Warden Spawn in Peaceful Mode?
The Minecraft developers made the decision to allow the Warden to spawn in Peaceful mode intentionally. According to the Lead Developer, Jens Bergensten, "The Warden is designed to be the ultimate fear mob, capable of terrifying even the toughest players."
How Will the Warden Spawn In The End or At Sea Floors?
The Warden can only spawn in The End and at sea floor biomes, specifically around the area where the first shrieker is found, which can be generated biomes.
How is the Warden’s Light Level Related to Its Ability?
Unlike other mobs that are sensitive to light level, the Warden will spawn in any light environment; it doesn’t care where it spawns, as its primary function is to wander and make noise.

Consequences of Attacking a Warden In Peaceful Mode
A player’s actions can attract the attention of the Warden in Peaceful mode, even if they approach it or attack it lightly. Once the Warden is "awaken" or provoked, it remains undeply for their trouble and can become hostile depending on its mood.
However, this does not work the other way around.
Additional Tips for In Peaceful Mode
Be aware that the Warden’s spawning area is more likely to be found nearby shrieker, so use this knowledge to your benefit when searching for it (or avoid it, either way!).
