IllagerBlabber
by okay_
IllagerBlabber gives illager mobs spoken lines in the world, so pillagers, vindicators and evokers talk as players approach, attack or win a raid.
What it does
Illagers in the game get a set of voice lines tied to what is happening around them. They react when they first spot a player, when they are hurt, when they celebrate a kill and after a successful raid. A context-aware dialogue system picks the line, so the same illager does not repeat itself in every situation.
A dynamic cooldown scales with how many illagers are nearby. When many are present, fewer of them speak at a time, and one illager type is kept quieter than the rest, which limits audio spam in large groups. The voices are made with a custom illager AI voice changer model, and the lines are written to sound close to the vanilla illager voices.
IllagerBlabber requires Fabric API on Fabric. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Spotting dialogue
An illager speaks when it first notices a player, with a separate line for each illager type.
Reactions to damage and kills
Hurt illagers and illagers that have just killed a target each say a line suited to the moment.
Raid success lines
Illagers comment when a raid succeeds, adding a line to the end of a raid as well as the start.
Distinct illager personalities
Each illager type has its own voice, so pillagers, vindicators and evokers can be told apart by ear.

How it compares
Immersive Pillagers is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is published for 1.20.1 – 26.2, with a client and server environment. Illager Invasion also works on all three loaders and is open source under the MIT License, but it is published for 1.18.2 – 26.2 and changes raids rather than adding voice lines. Hostile Harmony is server-side only, so players need nothing installed, and it is not open source.
