Illager Expansions FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I find silver ore?
Silver ore generates underground between Y level 45 and Y level -5. Use a stone pickaxe or better to mine it, then smelt the raw silver in a furnace to get silver ingots for crafting.
What's the best way to prepare for a raid?
Stock up on armor and weapons before the raid starts, position yourself near the village center to intercept illagers early, and consider building defensive structures like walls or towers to funnel enemies into killzones.
How do I craft a double axe?
Double axes are crafted using materials like sticks and metal ingots arranged in a specific pattern on a crafting table; check your crafting guide for the exact recipe, as it varies by material tier.
What does the Ravager Rider do differently?
The Ravager Rider appears as a mini-boss on the seventh raid wave and uses charging attacks, ground stomps, and loud roars to damage and intimidate players; it's much tougher than standard illagers and requires careful positioning to defeat.
Can I get silver armor and tools?
Yes, silver is a full tier of craftable tools and armor that sits between standard and higher-tier materials, offering a good balance of durability and effectiveness once you've mined enough raw silver.
What do the new advancements reward?
The 'Shiny!' advancement unlocks when you pick up your first raw silver, and 'Ore Collector!' unlocks when you gather materials from every acquirable ore type including ancient debris; both track your progression through the mod's resources.
How does the Retaliator's shield mechanic work?
The Retaliator blocks incoming strikes with its shield and can kick players back, so aim to attack from behind or use ranged weapons to bypass its defense.
What makes Elite Pillagers harder to fight?
Elite Pillagers strafe around you while firing multiple arrow types including flame, poison, and bomb arrows, making them mobile and unpredictable; close the distance quickly or use cover to avoid their volleys.
Do I get a reward after my first raid victory?
Yes, defeating your first village raid grants you a special gift as a reward for your success.
Can the Crindicator parry my attacks?
The Crindicator wears copper armor and can parry incoming strikes with its iron sword before lunging forward, so time your attacks carefully or use weapons with high knockback to interrupt its parry.
