Summon Elder Guardian

Spawn a giant elder guardian

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons an elder guardian, the giant monument boss that inflicts Mining Fatigue III on nearby players and hits hard with its laser. It is far tankier than a normal guardian, making a solid aquatic mini-boss. Only three exist per real monument, so this is the easy way to get one.
