VexAttacks

A vex attacking.

Vexes attack players, villagers[JE only] or adult villagers‌[BE only], iron golems, and wandering traders if an evoker summoned them, and any other target as commanded by their summoning evoker (any mob that attacks the evoker, either by accident or purposely or any mob illagers naturally attack on sight). They still attack these mobs even when they do not have a weapon, and they deal the same damage.

Vexes are capable of flying through the air, and can freely pass through any block, including water and lava, without taking damage. Vexes can pass through bedrock, meaning it's possible for them to die in the void. While vexes can pass through blocks easily, honey blocks seem to slow them down. Vexes also can be bounced back when pushed by a slime block. While attacking, they glow red and lunge at their target.

Vexes do not count as the bossbar during a raid.

If any mob attacks a vex, any vexes in the area become hostile toward it. This also includes Johnny vindicators, who also attack vexes, despite the vindicator being a illager.

Vexes summoned by an evoker start taking damage after 30 to 119 seconds and eventually die.‌[JE only] This does not apply if the vex is summoned by a spawner, spawn egg or by the /summon command. A vex does not despawn if it has been named via nametag, or commands, or if it is in a block, minecart, or boat.

When idle, vexes wander within a 15×11×15 cuboid range centered on their evoker's position, unless summoned by a spawn egg or by the /summon command. This happens when the vexes killed the mob that their evoker commanded them to.
