Minecraft Dungeons:Raid Captain

This article is about the new mini boss that appears randomly in locations. For the illager mob that controls the Colossal Rampart, see MCD:Rampart Captain. For the Illager captain of the patrol or raid in the original game, see Raid captain.

Raid Captain
Behavior	Hostile
Natural equipment	Axe (vindicator raid captain) Crossbow (pillager raid captain)

“	Of course, there’s also plenty of free content and updates alongside the DLC release! Not only are there new enchantments, but there is also a brand-new feature called Raid Captains. Raid Captains are friendly tour guides that... wait, that’s not right. They’re super challenging new enemies that will change the way you play the game. That makes a lot more sense. Seek out Raid Captains where they lurk in the hidden corners of the world to add a new level of challenge (and new treasures) to your missions.	„

A raid captain is a powerful mob in Minecraft Dungeons. They spawn in locations as a powerful mob such that when defeated, the mission has negative modifiers or a higher threat level, but the rewards throughout the mission are better. They are the most common type of powerful mob in Minecraft Dungeons.

Behavior

Raid captains behave like normal illagers, attacking with its axe, or shooting the hero with its crossbow. However, they deal increased damage and knockback. Raid captains only spawn within missions that have already been completed once, but not on all. Depending on the situation, there can be one to six raid captains in missions. They spawn with a group of illagers or illager allies around them, such as vindicators, armored vindicators, geomancers, pillagers, armored pillagers, mountaineers, armored mountaineers, wind callers, enchanters, royal guards, iceologers, and witches or alone, like in the patrols of the base game.

Drops

When defeated, they drop one of two banners, either threat or mystery. Threat portrays the Bad Omen icon and Mystery portrays a skull, and when picked up, the game is enhanced with modifiers (e.g. enemies have boost). At the end of the level, an extra item is given in addition to the artifact chest. Also, the chance for it to be unique exponentially increases for every Raid Captain defeated after the first.

If all six raid captains have been defeated inside of a daily trial on Apocalypse + 25, the highest power level items in the game can be collected from the raid captain chest.

Minecraft Dungeons
May 19, 2021					A raid captain can be seen in the Minecraft Dungeons Diaries.
1.9.1.0 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Drinks|Drinks]]<br/>[[File:Drinking Steve.png|150px|right]] [[File:Drinking Alex.png|150px|right]] '''Drinks''' are a narrow class of consumable [[item]]s that can be ingested by the player in an extremely similar manner to [[food]]. However, drinks are not encountered quite as commonly as food is, and they are not nearly as integral to survival gameplay. Drinks can generally be distinguished from food from the sounds they make upon consumption, the lack of particles emitted by them, and the fact that they leave behind an empty container after consumption. They also do not require the hunger bar to be depleted, and do not affect hunger or saturation values upon use (with the exception of [[honey bottle]]s). Drinks are drunk by holding {{control|use item}} while having the drink [[item]] selected in the hotbar or in the off hand. == Drinks == {{/table}} == History == {{main|Milk#History|Potion#History|Honey Bottle#History}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.0.11|[[File:Milk Bucket JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added milk.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Added water bottles and potions.}} {{History||1.15|snap=19w34a|[[File:Honey Bottle JE1.png|32px]] Added honey bottles.}} {{History|pocket alpha}} {{History||v0.7.0|[[File:Milk Bucket JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added milk buckets.}} {{History||v0.12.1|snap=build 1|Added water bottles and potions.}} {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.14.0|snap=beta 1.14.0.1|[[File:Honey Bottle BE1.png|32px]] Added honey bottles.}} {{History|foot}} {{Items}} [[ja:飲み物]] [[pt:Bebidas]] [[Category:Food]]</li><li>[[3D|3D]]<br/>{{about|the edible item|the April Fools' snapshot itself|Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34}} {{Joke feature}} {{Item | image = 3D (item).png | renewable = Yes | stackable = Yes (64) }} '''3D''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34]].

In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors. == Usage == A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen. === Placement === Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the chalkboard. 1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards. === Text === When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor. While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line. After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered. === Interaction === Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them. Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving. Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Stone/BE}} == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Block |spritename=chalkboard |spritetype=block |nameid=chalkboard |id=230 |form=block |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name}} {{ID table |displayname=Item |spritename=board |spritetype=item |nameid=board |translationkey=tile.chalkboard.oneByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.twoByOne.name, tile.chalkboard.threeByTwo.name |id=454 |form=item |foot=1}} === Metadata === {{see also|Data values}} Chalkboards uses the following data values: *Slate: 1 *Board: 2 *Poster: 3 <!--{{/DV}}--> === Block states === {{see also|Block states}} {{info needed}} <!--{{/BS}}--> == History == {{History|pocket alpha}} {{History||v0.16.0|snap=build 1|[[File:Chalkboard Slate.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Poster.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard Board.png|32px]]<br>[[File:Chalkboard_Slate_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Poster_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Chalkboard_Board_(item)_BE1.png|32px]] Added chalkboards, likely as an accidental addition. |Chalkboards can be obtained and placed using the {{cmd|give}} and {{cmd|setblock}} [[command]]s respectively.
