Illusioner

Illusioners are unused hostile mobs. They are one of the three Illagers, which are offshoot villagers – the others being the vindicator and the evoker.

Spawning
The illusioner can only be spawned using the command. There is not currently a spawn egg for the Illusioner.

Drops
When killed by a player, any naturally spawned equipment (including their bow) has a 8.5% (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping and will drop with a random durability.

Behavior


Illusioners will attack players, villagers and iron golems within about 12 blocks. It will attack with its spells, and with its bow.

The illusioner has two spells: a spell that blinds its opponent, and a spell that summons duplicates and makes the illusioner invisible.

Casting blindness
Upon first engaging a new opponent, an illusioner casts a effect that lasts for 20 seconds. The illusioner will not cast this spell more than once on the same opponent, unless it has first shifted its attention to another opponent, and then back to that original opponent.

This spell resets the illusioner's spell cooldown to 1 second, and resets the cooldown for the blinding spell to 9 seconds.

Summoning duplicates
As long as an illusioner is engaged in combat, it will cast an effect on itself that lasts 60 seconds, and will refresh the effect whenever the Invisibility's time runs out. If a player effects an illusioner with from a spectral arrow, then all of the duplicates will glow, while the true illusioner remains invisible.

When an illusioner becomes invisible – through this or any other method – it creates four false duplicates of itself. When in combat, these hover and waver at short distances from the actual invisible illusioner. These duplicates will face in exactly the same direction as the illusioner, will move exactly in step with the original, and will use the shooting animation whenever the original uses its bow, but only the real illusioner can shoot and be damaged. These duplicates can appear to no-clip through walls, ceilings and floors. When the real illusioner is damaged, its duplicates all snap back to where the real illusioner is, but then snap back out to new positions. The duplicates dissipate once the illusioner's Invisibility effect ends.

This spell resets the illusioner's spell cooldown to 1 second, and resets the cooldown for the invisibility spell to 17 seconds.
