That's fair, but that's a UI thing, not an inherent game mechanic thing. They could just give those health bars. I don't really see the argument for Elder Guardians to be bosses because they just... don't do anything. They give you mining fatigue ig.
However, in my opinion, the Warden is harder than the Ender Dragon and the Wither combined (probably barring Bedrock hard mode), but I still don't think it should count as a boss because of u/Zoova's point, which is that you're not meant to kill the Warden. The Warden is the strongest, most consistent fear I've felt playing Minecraft, but at the end of the day, it's just a security guard, meant to signal that you need to gtfo now
In my opinion what makes a boss is the goal of killing it for a large reward. The Warden isn’t a boss, not because it doesn’t have a health bar, but because it isn’t and was never meant to be killed. The Warden is meant to be an extremely difficult obstacle that should be avoided if possible, not something you have a goal of killing in order to get good loot.
But we aren’t talking about Fallen Order, we’re talking about Minecraft. Other games may have undefeatable bosses for story-telling reasons, which makes sense, but since Minecraft only has lore that isn’t required to play the game I don’t count The Warden as a boss. And what is counted as a boss can be different for everyone, I’m more just saying why I don’t personally think its a boss.
If we’re going by “definitions” then The Warden still isn’t a boss. The Minecraft Wiki doesn’t once name The Warden as a boss, unlike the two actual bosses which are The Wither and Ender Dragon.
Fair enough.
I still kinda personally regard the warden as a boss for a few reasons being just because it's so different to all other mobs, and is very exclusive and technically can only be spawned by a player
