Pillager Knight is a server-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds mounted pillager cavalry to your world.

Features

Mounted Patrols

Patrol leaders now ride armored gray horses 100% of the time
Regular patrol members have a 10% chance to spawn on horseback
All mounted pillagers wield iron spears instead of crossbows

Outpost & Raid Rules

Pillager Outposts: Only the patrol leader rides a horse; regular soldiers remain on foot to prevent overwhelming cavalry spam
Raids: Pillagers have a 10% chance to spawn as cavalry. Vindicators and Evokers keep their vanilla behavior
Critical fix: Horses are never added to the Raider list, so raid progress is never blocked by surviving mounts

Horse Mechanics

Horses are gray to match pillager aesthetics
Come pre-equipped with a saddle
Tamed but ownerless — players can mount them immediately after killing the rider
Average horse speed and health

Combat

Cavalry charges at players and retreats after striking, then re-engages
If dismounted, the pillager continues fighting on foot with the spear
Foot soldiers use iron swords or crossbows

Installation

This is a server-side only mod. Players connecting to your server do not need to install anything.
