Vindicator

Mobs & entity

The Vindicator is an entity in Minecraft. When it is killed, it drops an emerald, which makes defeating one a way to collect that item. A spawn egg for the Vindicator also exists, allowing players to place one in the world directly.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
