Illager Invasion FAQ

Kill illagers to collect Platinum Chunks and dusts, then craft an Imbuing Table to begin using the mod's magical items. Check our 'How to Get Started' guide for the full early progression path.

The Imbuing Table is crafted from platinum materials and is the core crafting station for most of the mod's magical items. See the Imbuing Table guide for the exact recipe and how to use it.

Platinum Chunks drop from illagers and can be processed into Platinum Sheets for gear and crafting. Our Platinum Gear guide covers the full chain from chunk to finished equipment.

The Necromancer continuously summons reinforcements, so you need to interrupt or out-damage its summons rather than trade hits. Our dedicated Necromancer guide explains how to stop its summoning and finish it off.

The Illusioner appears through the mod's illager faction content and uses blindness and mirror images in combat. Our Illusioner guide covers where to find it and how to counter its illusions.

Raid farms in this mod need to account for the new illager types and their abilities, so a standard vanilla design won't work as-is. Our Raid Farm guide walks through the layout and kill-chamber setup that handles the new mobs.

The Imbuing Table combines dusts, gems, and platinum components into magical items like the Horn of Sight and Hallowed Gem. Our Imbuing Table guide explains each recipe type and what the finished items do.

Fresh Animations is a resource pack, so it works alongside Illager Invasion as long as the pack includes models for the mod's new illagers. If a mob looks static, the pack simply doesn't have an animation for it yet.

Illager Invasion is a Java Edition mod, so it does not run on Bedrock. Bedrock players would need a separate add-on that recreates similar content.

The mod adds new mobs and a crafting station rather than world-gen-heavy content, so performance impact is usually modest, but large raid farms with many new illagers can add up. Load it alongside other illager or combat mods and check for recipe or loot-table conflicts if something behaves oddly.

It expands Minecraft's Illagers with nearly a dozen new Illager types that have unique abilities, adds new Illager-themed structures to the world, and makes village raids harder. It is a port of Illager Expansion.

Yes. It adds items including the Hallowed Gem, Horn of Sight, Illusionary Dust, Lost Candle, Magical Fire Charge, Platinum Chunk, Platinum Infused Hatchet, Platinum Sheet, Primal Essence, and Unusual Dust, plus an Imbuing Table.

The Imbuing Table upgrades enchantments beyond normal limits and needs a Hallowed Gem each time it is used.

The Marauder rarely drops the Platinum Infused Hatchet, a throwable axe-like weapon.

It adds the Firecaller Hut in badlands, the Illager Fort in taigas, the Illusioner Tower in taigas and dark forests, the Labyrinth in most forest biomes, and the Sorcerer Hut in dark forests.

The Invoker drops the Hallowed Gem, which is needed to upgrade enchantments with the Imbuing Table.
