Illager Universe FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to prepare anything special before a raid starts?
Yes—stock up on healing items and strong weapons before the raid horn sounds, since the new Illager types deal more damage and coordinate their attacks. Fortify your base's defenses and consider setting up chokepoints to prevent the Prinzologer from charging through on horseback.
What do Upgraders actually do in combat?
Upgraders are blacksmiths that stay with the raid group and distribute armor to nearby Illagers, making them progressively harder to kill as the battle goes on. Prioritize eliminating Upgraders early to prevent your enemies from becoming too well-equipped.
How do I deal with Shadow Goats?
Shadow Goats charge and push you away, so use knockback resistance potions or armor enchantments to stay grounded during their attacks. Keep your distance when possible and use ranged weapons to damage them before they close in.
What's the Callologer's horn attack and how do I avoid it?
The Callologer uses a large horn to create powerful sound wave effects that damage and disorient you, plus it summons backup during raids. Move behind solid blocks or structures to block the sound waves, and eliminate the Callologer quickly to stop reinforcements.
Why is the Prinzologer so hard to fight?
The Prinzologer rides a horse and swings a heavy mace that can knock you down, giving it both mobility and devastating melee damage. Use terrain to your advantage and try to separate it from its horse, or use knockback resistance to stay on your feet.
Do Illager outposts have different layouts now?
Yes, outposts are more dangerous to explore with the new Illager types and improved defenses. Scout carefully, bring plenty of supplies, and consider using ranged attacks to thin out groups before engaging directly.
Will this mod work with my armor mod?
Yes, the Upgrader blacksmith is designed to work well with armor mods and will distribute the better gear from those mods to Illagers. This means enemies can become even more dangerous if you're using high-tier armor additions.
Can I fight raids solo or do I need help?
Solo raids are possible but significantly harder with coordinated enemy types and upgraded gear—consider summoning Iron Golems or using strong enchanted weapons and potions to level the playing field.
What's the biggest mistake players make against these new Illagers?
Ignoring the Upgrader and Callologer while focusing on weaker enemies lets them strengthen the group and call reinforcements, turning the fight against you. Always prioritize support units first.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod adds more complex enemy AI and coordinated attacks, so performance depends on your system and how many Illagers spawn at once; reduce raid difficulty or mob cap settings if you experience slowdowns.
