Illager Structures Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find illager structures in my world?
Illager structures spawn naturally across different biomes as you explore—forests and plains have ground settlements, mountains have monasteries, oceans have pirate ships, and frozen biomes have expedition outposts. You can also use the locate command if your mod version supports it, or simply travel and watch for distinctive architecture like watchtowers and large buildings.
What's the best gear to bring when raiding a structure?
Bring strong armor (diamond or better), a good sword, a bow with arrows, and healing items like food or potions. Structures are heavily guarded, so consider bringing blocks for cover and a pickaxe to break through walls if you need an escape route.
Do illagers respawn inside structures after I clear them?
Illagers do not respawn once you've cleared a structure, so you can safely loot and explore without constant pressure. However, some structures may have multiple rooms or hidden areas with enemies you haven't encountered yet.
What kind of loot can I find in these bases?
Loot varies by structure type but generally includes enchanted gear, emeralds, potions, and materials specific to illager operations like copper or industrial components. Ocean pirate ships and frozen shipyards tend to have the richest rewards.
Are there any structures underwater I need to know about?
Yes—submarines and underwater citadels spawn on the ocean floor and require you to either bring water breathing potions or use other underwater breathing methods. These structures are dangerous because you're fighting in a confined space with limited mobility.
How do I get into locked or sealed structures?
Most structures can be entered through main doors or by breaking walls with a pickaxe. Some may have alternative entrances like windows or roof access; if you're stuck, look for structural weak points or try approaching from a different angle.
Do these structures affect world performance or cause lag?
Structures are built at world generation and shouldn't cause ongoing lag, though having many active illagers in one area can impact performance. If you experience issues, try clearing out enemies or adjusting your render distance.
Can I disable certain structure types or biomes?
Most mods of this type have configuration options to control which structures spawn and in which biomes. Check your mod's config file or in-game settings menu to customize what generates in your world.
What's the difference between a small camp and a large fort?
Small camps have fewer enemies and less loot but are quicker to clear, while large forts are heavily fortified with multiple rooms, more guards, and better rewards. Choose based on your gear and how much time you want to spend.
Do structures generate in existing worlds or only new ones?
Structures typically only generate in newly explored chunks, so you'll need to travel to areas you haven't visited before to find them. Existing chunks from before installing the mod won't have structures unless you use specific tools to regenerate terrain.
