Illagers Wear Armor Mod FAQ

You can disable armor spawning through the mod's config options, which let you toggle armor generation on or off globally. If you only want to change specific illager types or gear, use a custom datapack to override their equipment instead.

The mod affects the illager mobs that normally spawn during raids and in structures, giving them armor rolls similar to how other mobs can spawn equipped. You can customize exactly which illager types receive armor using the mod's config or a datapack.

With this mod installed, pillagers and illusioners will perform melee attacks if they don't have a bow or crossbow equipped. This is intended behavior to make them more dangerous when disarmed or spawned without ranged weapons.

Create a datapack that overrides the mod's equipment files, which control what gear each illager type spawns with. You can edit those files to change armor types, remove armor from specific illagers, or add gear to others.

Yes, the mod's config and datapack support let you pick which illager types spawn with armor. You can leave certain illagers unarmored while others still generate with iron, chainmail, diamond, or other gear.

The mod is known to not work with the Fresh Animations resource pack, so you'll need to disable that pack while using it. If you're using both, expect visual or animation issues.

There are compatibility issues with the latest version of the Enchant With Mobs mod. If you run both together, you may see broken behavior, so test carefully or avoid combining them.

Bring weapons that bypass or reduce armor effectiveness, such as axes or enchanted weapons, and use shields to block melee hits from disarmed pillagers. Focus on separating raiders and using terrain or traps rather than fighting the whole group head-on.

Yes, the mod includes a config option to disable armor spawning altogether. That lets you keep the mod installed for its other features while removing the extra protection from illagers.

Armor on illagers adds only minor rendering and data overhead, so performance impact is usually small. If you notice lag during large raids, it's more likely from the number of mobs than from the armor itself.
