Ravager Jockey
by AvatarKage
Ravager Jockey lets illagers that spot a ravager nearby climb onto it, turning a hostile mob into a mounted one.
What it does
When illagers seek out ravagers close by, they ride them as jockeys. The mod is built on Jockey API, which must be installed alongside it so the mounting behavior can run. Ravager Jockey is a server-side only mod, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and single-player worlds need it on the local server side as well.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 12 release versions covering 1.20 – 1.21.8. The latest files are 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 on both loaders, both dated 2025-08-11, the same day the mod was first published and last updated. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Raid encounters
During raids, mounted illagers on ravagers change how the fight plays out for players defending a village.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want illagers to ride ravagers and mobs to ride one another, and players on those servers who meet the mounted pairings during raids or on their travels.
How it compares
Remove "Lava Chicken" Music Disc is an open source mod under the MIT License, published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, and it is server required with an optional client. Chicken Jockey is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, for NeoForge only, on 1.21.1, and it needs both client and server. Ravager Jockey differs by being server-side only and all rights reserved.
