Pillager Knight

by 18310166

Pillager Knight changes Pillager patrols so that their leaders ride armored gray horses and charge with iron spears.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Patrol leaders spawn on armored gray horses every time, while regular patrol members have a 10% chance of spawning mounted. Mounted pillagers carry iron spears instead of crossbows, and regular soldiers stay on foot so that cavalry does not overwhelm a raid. Pillager outposts are the places where these patrols appear, and the horses come pre-equipped with a saddle.

The change is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Vindicators and evokers keep their vanilla behavior. The horses are never added to the raid list, so raid progress is not blocked while mounted raiders survive. Pillager Knight is for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.11, published as a single build for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Mounted patrol leaders

    Patrol leaders always ride an armored gray horse, which matches the look of the pillager patrols.

  2. Iron spear cavalry

    Mounted pillagers wield iron spears in place of crossbows, so they charge rather than shoot.

  3. Occasional cavalry members

    Only about one patrol member in ten spawns mounted, while the remaining members keep walking on foot.

  4. Raid progress kept intact

    Horses are never added to the raid list, so surviving mounts do not stop a raid from progressing.
