Traders in Disguise - The Illager Assassin Project

Deadly Illager assassins disguised as wandering traders hunt the player. The project was started by Illager higher-ups in response to seven years of collected data showing that players were responsible for most Illager deaths in raids, outpost attacks and mansion burnings. A small group of Illagers was trained to become specialized assassins called Ambushers.

Two Ambusher variants are included. The Sickle Ambusher fights with four clones that circle the player and vanish on a hit or after 10 seconds, and it heals when low on health. The Bow Ambusher casts mirror image, fatigue, vexes and evoker fangs throughout the fight. Both drop their weapon and emeralds on death. The mod is for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The latest file, 1.7 for 1.20.1, was published on 2024-08-18, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source.
