Illager

Illagers are hostile mobs that look similar to villagers, wandering traders, and witches. The illagers are considered "exiled", "outcast", or "offshoot" villagers because they pursue and attack players, villagers, wandering traders, snow golems and iron golems. These mobs are a major enemy in Minecraft Dungeons.

Illager types
Only the pillager, vindicator, and evoker can spawn naturally. The illusioner is exclusive to the Java Edition, and is unused. Vexes can only be summoned by evokers, who can spawn in woodland mansions and raids, and ravagers spawn exclusively in raids.


 * &mdash; summons vexes and evoker fangs.
 * &mdash; casts various spells when fighting.
 * &mdash; attacks with a crossbow.
 * &mdash; ridden by pillagers, vindicators or evokers, or unridden during raids; considered an illager only $$ and $$.
 * &mdash; attacks with an iron axe; can break down doors like zombies, in normal or hard mode. They can also open doors like villagers when during raids.

There are 3 specific criteria for a mob to be considered an illager:

1. "Johnny" vindicators do not attack the mob (unless on PS4 and in that case, Johnny vindicators will attack pillagers).

2. The mob can not be damaged by evoker fangs (unless on PS4, pillagers will take damage from evokers). fangs)

3. The mob does not fight back when hit by an arrow shot by a pillager or illusioner.

Illagers don't spawn alone. They always spawn naturally in groups such as patrols or raids, or inside their structures.

Illagers sometimes have their own "leader" or "captain" who got a Ominous banner behind their back. Any illager has a small chance to become a raid captain, even when summoned by commands, or ($$ when using a spawn egg).

If a player kill a patrol captain or the captain in their structures (woodland mansions and pillager outposts). Player will gets Bad Omen effect from illager captains. When player enter a village with bad omen effect. Illager would locate this village and start their "revenge" attack which is raids.

Expect raiding captain. Kill a raiding captain won't give the player a Bad Omen effect.

Occurrences
Illagers spawn naturally in patrols and raids.

Vindicators and evokers spawn naturally in woodland mansions, while pillagers spawn in pillager outposts.

Monsters that spawn in raids

 * &mdash; not an illager $$ because "Johnny" vindicators attack them without being attacked by the ravager in return.
 * &mdash; "Johnny" vindicators attack them. They spawn when summoned by an evoker.
 * &mdash; "Johnny" vindicators attack them, and they also take damage from evoker fangs. If a witch is hit by a pillager or "Johnny" vindicator, the witch does not fight back.

Java Edition
Evokers, illusioners and vindicators can open doors like villagers (during raids), or use a spell, which does not reset their spell cooldown. Note that pillagers (and witches and vexes) cannot.

All of them can spawn reinforcements when hit, like zombies do. Their reinforcements include other illagers and ravagers.

Bedrock Edition
All illagers and vexes ignore baby villagers.

Non-pillager and ravager illagers attack pillagers who attack them.
