Pillagers will spawn inside the woodland mansion on specific rooms, they are the most common illager that will spawn inside and can also spawn randomly in a chosen corridor. They can spawn from 2-4 Pillagers in some room accompanied by Vindicators or Evokers. I present you, Fresh PIllagers, The first of a series of resource packs that attempt to improve Minecraft mobs with the power of optifine What does this pack does? Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a Pillager? This mod embraces the life of crime, by allowing you to become a raid hero and help the pillagers take control over a village. While this is a controversial concept, it's still an interesting feature to explore! The worst seeds of the Illager family.

An illager^[1] is a type of hostile mob that regularly spawns in woodland mansions, patrols, raids, and pillager outposts. All illagers are hostile towards players, villagers, wandering traders and iron golems.

• 4Raid captain

Illager types[edit]

• Evoker — summons vexes and evoker fangs. Spawns in woodland mansions and raids.
• Illusioner‌^{[JE only][unused mob]} — attacks with a bow, may inflict Blindness and summon duplicates while becoming invisible. They can spawn only using command /summon.
• Pillager — the most common Illager. Attacks with a crossbow. Passive when unarmed‌^{[JE only]}. Spawns in patrols, pillager outposts, and raids.
• Vindicator — attacks with an iron axe; breaks wooden doors in normal or hard modes during raids. Spawns in woodland mansions or raids.
  • Sometimes they may spawn in patrols, in Hard difficulty.‌^{[BE only]}
• Ravager only an illager in Bedrock Edition — attacks by ramming with its horns. Roars after its attack is blocked by a shield, knocking back nearby mobs. Spawns in raids, sometimes ridden by another illager.

Specific criteria[edit]

There are three specific criteria for a mob to be considered an Illager:

• 'Johnny' vindicators do not attack the other mob.
• The mob cannot be damaged by evoker fangs or ravager's roar.
• The mob does not fight back when hit by a missed arrow shot by a pillager or illusioner‌^{[JE only]}.

Non-illager monsters that spawn in raids[edit]

• Ravager — not an illager in Java Edition because 'Johnny' vindicators attack them without being attacked by the ravager in return.
• Vex — 'Johnny' vindicators attack them. They spawn when summoned by an evoker.
• Witch — Witches are not illagers, nor are they hostile to villagers.^[2] A Villager transforms into a Witch if they're struck by lightning. However, they can join patrols or spawn in raids above normal difficulty and splash Potions of Regeneration or Healing on illagers.‌^{[JE only]}. However, 'Johnny' vindicators attack them, and they take damage from evokers' fangs and ravagers' roars. Witches are also neutral to iron and snow golems.‌^{[JE only]}

Ravager Jockeys[edit]

A ravager jockey is an illager that spawns riding a ravager. The riders are illager especially pillagers, vindicators, and evokers.

Java Edition[edit]

A ravager ridden by pillager spawn at raids in Wave 5. Ravagers ridden by vindicators and evokers spawn at Wave 7.

Bedrock Edition[edit]

A ravager ridden by pillager spawn at raids in Wave 5 and 7, ravagers ridden by evokers spawn at Wave 7. The ravagers ridden by vindicators do not spawn on raids.

Occurrences[edit]

Illagers spawn naturally in patrols and raids. They always spawn naturally in groups while in patrols and raids, or inside their structures.

Only the pillager, vindicator, and evoker spawn naturally.

Vindicators and evokers that spawn naturally in Woodland Mansions do not despawn and respawn. They are also passive on peaceful difficulty.‌^{[BE only]}

Ravagers spawn exclusively in raids.

Raid captain[edit]

Illagers sometimes have their own leader. Any illager has a small chance to be a raid captain with an ominous banner (even when summoned by commands, or when using a spawn egg‌^{[JE only]}).

Event[edit]

Illagers have their own in-game events, led by raid captains:

• Patrols — a naturally spawned group of pillagers roaming the landscape. The group can include a vindicator on hard difficulty in Bedrock Edition.
• Raid — a wave after wave of illagers and witches spawn and attack a village with ominous horn blares. It is triggered when a player with the Bad Omen status effect enters a village. Raiders and villagers usually have different behavior in a raid. Raiders celebrate after defeating a village.

Effect[edit]

Killing a raid captain in patrols, in a mansion‌^{[JE only]}, or in an outpost inflicts the player with the Bad Omen effect, which triggers a raid when that player enters a village with the effect still active.

Java Edition[edit]

Vindicators can open doors like villagers during raids. They can sometimes break a wooden door in normal or hard difficulty, if they cannot open the door successfully.

Illagers, ravagers, and witches do not retaliate when hit by a missed arrow shot by a pillager or illusioner.

A vindicator can disable the player's shield with its iron axe attack, even when riding a mob. If a player fails to land a melee attack on a vindicator that rides a ravager during a raid in Hard difficulty, the vindicator rider can deal great damage to a player without protection from a shield.

Illagers pick up ominous banners dropped by raid captains during raids.

All illagers, ravagers, and witches gain 3 seconds of Glowing themselves when the bell rings.

Illagers and ravagers come to the aid of another illager of the same type to defeat mobs who attack it. For example, pillagers attack a skeleton that injures another pillager, but pillagers do not aid a vindicator hit by a skeleton.

Bedrock Edition[edit]

All illagers and vexes ignore baby villagers.

A dispenser can equip an illager with armor. However, only helmets and chestplates are visible on pillagers and vindicators, while evokers never have any armor visible.

Pillagers and ravagers do not purposefully attack other illagers. However, non-pillagers and non-ravagers do attack pillagers who hit them with missed arrows.^[3]

A 'ravager with vindicator rider' is unused in Bedrock Edition. It can be summoned by a spawn event command without raid configuration.

After Texture Update, illagers still use the java 1.14 snapshot texture, including some of the marketplace textures (for example, vindicator's eyes and pillager's arms).^[4][5] Also Ravager's legs texture is different that Java edition.

Trivia[edit]

• Illager structures are always themed around dark oak wood.
• The ominous banner ‌^{[JE only]} / illager banner ‌^{[BE & EE only]} is uncraftable. The player can obtain it only by killing a raid captain, either from pillager outposts or through the use of commands.
• All illagers' eyes are green‌^{[BE & EE only]} with the exception of vindicators,‌^{[JE only]} which have blue eyes. In the Texture Update, vindicators and illusioners were changed have to green eyes, but in the Java snapshot 18w47b the color of the vindicator's eyes was turned to blue again. This might be a reference to The Shining Easter Egg for the 'Johnny' vindicator.
