Illusioners
Illusioners adds functionality to the Illusioner, the unused Illager mob!
This is the Fabric version of Illusioners. It must be installed on both the server and the client.
You can download the plugin version for PaperMC servers here, which is only required on the server.
New abilities
One big improvement is to the Illusioner's 'clone' ability, making the fake illusioners move around on their own and shoot fake arrows, whilst the real illusioner is invisible.
To find and kill the real illusioner, you must first attack one of its illusions. Upon destroying an illusion, a trail of particles appears leading towards the invisible, real illusioner. Attack in the area the particles lead to, to kill the illusioner.
Drops and items
Illusioners also drop Shadow Dust when killed, which can be used to brew the Potion of Blindness.
There is also a new Illusioner Spawn Egg in the creative inventory.
Advancements
When popping an illusion, popping all illusions and hitting an illusioner without popping any illusions, you get custom advancements!
