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.

Appearance

A raid captain is identifiable as an illager carrying an ominous banner on its back. Raid captains can either be a a diamond armored pillager, or a diamond armored vindicator.

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 can spawn only within missions that have already been completed once. 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.

Although a "taunt circle" harms normal vindicators while making them more aggressive, it has no effect on vindicator raid captains.

Drops

When defeated, a raid captain drops 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 (for example, 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.

1.9.3.0Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions: White Silver Gray Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Lime Green Teal Sky Blue Plum Magenta Rose The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish: Flopper Glitter Betty Stripey Blockfish Clayfish Kob Snooper Brinely SunStreak Dasher Spotty Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior. These varieties are: Name Type Anemone Orange-Gray Stripey Black Tang Gray Flopper Blue Dory ‌ Gray-Sky SunStreak Blue Tang ‌ Gray-Blue Flopper Butterfly Fish ‌/Butterflyfish ‌ White-Gray Clayfish Cichlid Blue-Gray SunStreak Clownfish Orange-White Kob Cotton Candy Betta Rose-Sky Spotty Dottyback Plum-Yellow Blockfish Emperor Red Snapper White-Red Clayfish Goatfish White-Yellow Spotty Moorish Idol White-Gray Glitter Ornate Butterfly ‌/Ornate Butterflyfish ‌ White-Orange Clayfish Parrotfish Teal-Rose Dasher Queen Angel Fish ‌/Queen Angelfish ‌ Lime-Sky Brinely Red Cichlid Red-White Betty Red Lipped Blenny Gray-Red Snooper Red Snapper Red-White Blockfish Threadfin White-Yellow Flopper Tomato Clown ‌ Red-White SunStreak Tomato Clownfish ‌ Red-White Kob Triggerfish Gray-White SunStreak Yellowtail Parrot ‌/Yellowtail Parrotfish ‌ Teal-Yellow Dasher Yellow Tang Yellow Flopper					Collecting multiple banners from raid captains now significantly improves the chance to get unique items.
