Illagers Wear Armor

by seymourimadeit

Illagers Wear Armor makes Illager mobs spawn with armor, and config options can turn that off for some or all of them.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19 – 26.2

What it does

The mod changes what Illagers carry when they spawn, so they appear already equipped instead of bare. A config file lets server owners disable armor for specific Illager types or stop every Illager from spawning with it. Other mods can render armor on their own Illagers if those mobs inherit the IllagerModel class. Custom equipment is set with a datapack override rather than in code.

Forge and NeoForge are supported, with builds for 1.19 – 26.2 and 26.2 as the newest release. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Armored spawns

    Illagers spawn wearing armor, so raids and camps are harder to clear with bare hands.

  2. Config control

    Each Illager type can be excluded from armored spawns, or all of them can be stopped, in the config file.

  3. Datapack equipment

    Custom spawn equipment is defined by overriding files in a datapack.

What the author says

Are you tired of Illagers being weak, not wearing anything to protect them? This mod is for you, with config options to disable certain Illagers spawning with armor naturally, or stop all of them from spawning with armor altogether!
