Minecraft Dungeons:Mountaineer

A mountaineer is a hostile illager that can be found within the howling peaks DLC of Minecraft Dungeons.

Appearance
Mountaineers wear a brown hood with a white face covering, brown-and-white colored sleeves and pants, brown boots and gloves, and a blue belt or sash around its chest. They utilize mountaineer axes and they have blue eyes. Mountaineers have two variants, the first variant wears a black hood with gold buttons and is seen wearing a green backpack, an olive belt, and black pants. The second variant wears a reddish hood with an open coat with leather armor and wears leather boots and a brown sash around the chest and has diamond buttons. They are often seen wielding mountaineer axes which they use in their attacks. The black variant possesses light-green eyes, and the red variant possesses black eyes, similarly to the Arch-Illager.

Spawning


In the End Wilds and the Broken Citadel, mountaineers's camp can be found. Some mountaineers and elite mountaineers are found within cages.

Behavior
Mountaineers behave similarly to the old AI of vindicators before 1.7.2.0, running up to the hero and attacking them via melee, with their axes. They have a delay and cannot move when they are attacking.
 * Attack

Mountaineers place their axe into the ground when in contact with the wind in order to not be blown away.
 * Brace

Data value

 * In the game files, mountaineers are referred to internally by the name.

Trivia

 * In the artwork for the howling peaks, mountaineers can be seen climbing the peaks while using axes, likely a placeholder for mountaineer axes.
 * Despite behaving like vindicators, mountaineers are not a vindicator variant.
