Illager Invasion
by Fuzs
Illager Invasion expands the Illager mobs of Minecraft with nearly a dozen new types, dangerous new structures and stronger village raids.
What it does
Players meet new Illagers with their own abilities. Some act as archers or throw potions, others summon undead or cast spells, and a few guard themselves with shields that must be broken first. Some of these hide in new structures, while others join village raids and make them harder. Loot from the fights includes rare items and secret places to discover.
The mod is a port of Illager Expansion, originally created by Dricky and continued with many additions, overhauls and bug fixes. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge, and Forge Config API Port on Fabric. Client and server both need it, and it is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Key features
Nearly a dozen new Illagers
Eight named Illagers, among them the Alchemist, Sorcerer and Inquisitor, each use a distinct set of attacks.
Support Illagers
One Illager buffs nearby Illagers with enchantments, and the Necromancer summons spells to overwhelm players.
Shield-based boss fights
The Inquisitor carries a shield that has to be broken before the fight can be won.
New structures and loot
Hidden structures hold rare loot, including the Platinum Infused Hatchet carried by the Marauder.
Configurable options
Settings can be changed in game through Mod Menu on Fabric, or edited in the config files in the minecraft config folder.
