Minecraft:Raid captain

Template:For Template:Infobox entity A raid captainTemplate:Fn is the occurrence of an Minecraft:illager that spawns wearing an Minecraft:ominous banner on its head. It is usually a Minecraft:pillager or Minecraft:vindicator, or rarely Template:In an Minecraft:evoker. They are the only renewable source of both Minecraft:ominous banners and Minecraft:ominous bottles, which they drop when killed.

Spawning

Raid captains spawn in mostly the same conditions and occurrences as a regular Minecraft:illager, with a few exceptions.

Template:IN, a Minecraft:pillager raid captain can be spawned using the Template:Cmd command, and a Minecraft:vindicator raid captain (which is unused in-game) can be spawned using the Template:Cmd command.

Template:IN, pillagers, vindicators and evokers spawned from Minecraft:spawn eggs, Minecraft:monster spawners or Minecraft:trial spawners also have a small chance to spawn as a raid captain.

Patrols

Template:Main One pillager raid captain always spawns as part of a Minecraft:patrol, as the leader. These are referred to as “patrol captains” to avoid confusion.

Raids

Template:Main Template:IN, one raid captain spawns in each wave during a raid. They usually spawn within a group of pillagers, and sometimes spawns riding a Minecraft:ravager. When its ominous banner is dropped, other illagers rush and attempt to pick it up to become the new raid captain.

Template:IN, raid captains are unused and do not spawn naturally during raids, but the code for them is present.Template:Verify

Pillager outposts

Template:Main Pillager raid captains regularly spawn in a pillager outpost. Every pillager spawned has a small chance to be a raid captain.

Template:IN, only pillagers and passive Minecraft:mobs may spawn within a pillager outpost spawn area. Pillagers may spawn on any valid opaque block as long as the block Minecraft:light level is 8 or lower.

Drops

• 1 File:Illager Banner.png Minecraft:Ominous banner, unaffected by Minecraft:Looting and is always dropped.
• 1 Template:ItemLink, unaffected by Minecraft:Looting of a random level from 1-5. Raid captains that are within 96 blocks of a raid do not drop ominous bottles.

Pillager

• 0–2 Template:ItemLink, dropping more with the presence of Minecraft:Looting, up to 5Template:Only.
• Its Template:ItemLink (may be loaded or unloaded), which has an 8.5% chance to be dropped (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III). It has a random durability and may be enchanted.

Vindicator

• 0–1 Template:ItemLink, with the maximum increasing by 1 for every level of Minecraft:Looting.
• Its Template:ItemLink, which has an 8.5% chance to be dropped (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III). It has a random durability and may be enchanted.

Raider

Template:IN, raid captains that spawn from raids can additionally drop:

• 0–1 Template:ItemLink (Template:Frac chance)
• 2–3 Template:ItemLink (Template:Frac chance)

• 1 Template:ItemLink (Template:Frac chance)
• 1 Template:ItemLink (Template:Frac chance)
• 1 Template:ItemLink (Template:Frac chance)

Note:

• Raiders drop iron equipment in a damaged state, and the equipment has 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment.
• These drops are also affected by Minecraft:Looting enchantment.
• An emerald is both a regular raider drop and an additional raider drop.Template:Only

Behavior

Raid captains usually act the same as if they were a normal Minecraft:illager, but other illagers follow behind them (except for outpost captain), and usually the captain takes the lead ahead of the other illagers. Once a raid captain is killed by a player, an Minecraft:ominous bottle is dropped that if drank, grant Minecraft:Bad Omen, which can transform into Minecraft:Raid Omen in a Minecraft:village to start a Minecraft:raid, or into Minecraft:Trial Omen when seen by a non-ominous Minecraft:trial spawner, to start an Minecraft:ominous trial.The captain also drops its File:Illager Banner.png Minecraft:ominous banner as well, and it can be picked up by another illager for it to become the captain.
