Infected Pillager

Infected Pillagers are the infected version of Pillagers, therefore belonging in the Infected tier. They are defined as a ranged mob by the config.

Spawning

• Spawned when a Pillager dies with Mycelium Infection.

• Spawns naturally in the dark, usually in caves or during night.

  • Spawns in groups of 1 - 3 with a spawn weight of 40. Will not spawn in biomes with an internal temperature value at or below 0.2 or in Deep Dark biomes.

• Spawned from Scents.

• Spawned from a Howler's summoning ability.

• Spawned from Arena Tendrils during the first and second waves of a raid.

• Spawned from Vigils during the first and second waves of a Vigil raid.

Evolution

When reaching 1 kill and waiting for the 5-minute evolution timer to finish, the Infected Pillager will evolve. The following are their possible Evolved forms:

• Howler, Stalker, and Brute

• Scamper (failed evolution)

Unique Behavior

• Infected Pillagers have a 50% chance to spawn either with or without a crossbow. If they spawn without one, they'll simply do melee damage. If they have a crossbow, they'll slowly fire arrows that inflict Mycelium Infection for 5 seconds.

• Can be picked up by Leapers and Brutes.

  • When mounting a mob, they will be granted a crossbow if they don't already have one. This is intended for Leapers and Brutes so they can act as turrets, and because those mobs will try to pick up ranged mobs. But this applies for every mob, including boats and minecarts.

Behavior

• Infected Pillagers are melee combatants and ranged combatants, attacking mobs with Infected forms, golems, and most hostile mobs.

• Infected Pillagers inflict Mycelium Infection for 30 seconds when dealing melee damage.

• Has a follow range of 32 blocks.

• Infected Pillagers can fall victim to starvation (explained on the Infected page.)

• Infected Pillagers have a 5% chance to drop a Scent upon death.

• Infected Pillagers will attempt to group together in hordes with other Infected.

• Infected Pillagers will follow Evolved and Hyper Evolved mobs.

• Can perform low leaps/dashes to chase prey quickly through water.

• Able to use kill points to give themselves buffs, such as strength or speed if the target is running away. They can also give themselves regeneration if they are low on health.

• Capable of breaking glass and leaves.

• Present a weakness to the cold, like all spore mobs.
