Immersive Pillagers
by Luke100000
Immersive Pillagers changes how illager raids and roaming pillager groups behave in the world, adding new raider types and a side progression of camps, labs and loot.
What it does
Roaming pillager hordes explore the world, attacking camps, laboratories and undead illagers, and players can track and fight them to recover ancient research on the Totem Undying. Horse raiders gallop over open terrain, camel raiders hunt through desert regions, boat raiders strike across lakes and seas, spider raiders scale walls, and gyrodyne raiders descend from the sky when Immersive Aircraft is present. Undead raiders bring resurrected pillagers, vindicators and evokers. A Raider's Horn can call a war horde to the current region, and raids can stop recurring once a region is cleared.
The mod depends on Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2, with 0.1.5 as the latest build on each loader.

Configurable behavior
