Easter Eggs Behind The...Sick Villagers? | The Story of the Illagers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- Is it the lack of sun that makes them gray or are they just sick? Are they worshiping a giant chicken? Why did they get (allegedly) evicted from their mansion? And why does the name “Johnny” cause vindicators to go bananas? We sat down with Laura de Llorens, Jens “Jeb” Bergensten, Samuel Åberg, and Kevin Grace, hoping they’d have some answers when it comes to the origin of illagers and why they sometimes turn blue sheep red.
How to summon an Illusioner in Minecraft:
1. Turn on the 'cheats' option before entering your world.
2. Open the chat window.
3. Type the command: /summon illusioner
4. Once the cheat has been entered, the Illusioner will spawn and appear in your world.
6:40 - "You Will Definitely See more of them in the future" - HMMMM
More illagers like the Illusioner and Enchanter could be addded
Village and pillage update 2?????
Rip the ice lad from that one accursed mob vote
@@dibs6462i mean hey he could always come back, im pretty sure they said mobs who dont win the vote still have the potential to be added later
@@TonyMcBee or maybe a whole update or drop dedicated to illagers and magic...
Is that...LORE!?
Where is game theory?
I am steve
I feel my inner theorist
@@DaviNoob11 game theory moment
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY...
"Dungeons may only use mobs that have been established in Vanilla Minecraft"
Thank you, Jens, for further confirming that Echoing Void DLC of Minecraft Dungeons includes future planned out End Update 2.0 for Vanilia Minecraft. It's the only DLC that includes entirely different environment than the ones seen in Vanilla Minecraft - being End's 3 new biomes alongside existing one.
For people saying, "Finally Minecraft lore" Minecraft Legends is literally a lore game, reveals how illagers formed, the nether war, piglins, one the actions human players have caused like the extinction of certain animals in minecraft
Minecraft Legends is confirmed to be a myth, that means that there's things that are "lore" and happened on vanilla, and there's things that are not and are exclusive to Minecraft legends.
Lore can be found even in the original game, because it's full of ancient structures with histories you can interpret
legends is not lore...
@@burnaboa sorry but ur wrong lol
Dungeons also has quite a lot of lore.

Mojang - "Seriously do not underestimate a raid"
The Community - RAID FARM.
Yes 😂
I actually grew to like Illagers after I caught one in a boat and Harrmen lived outside my window for nearly a year. When I finally got around to making an Iron farm he hopped right in the Minecart as if he knew just what I needed. I even put a sign underneath that read "Harrmen's Iron Farm" because he was the one running it.😊
That’s lovely
No that's adorable
That’s so cute ❤
thats so oddly sweet 😅long live harrmen xD
@@lilyofthevallay yes 🙌
5:30 - We definitely need to have Pirates added in a "Pillage and Plunder" Update!!
Instead of just small boats, Mojang needs to develop large moving boats for the pirates to sail! 😀 That would be cool!
@@josephbacon9918 that would be amazomg!
Hmm pillage and plunder update on 2025?
@Drunkgg775 just imagine being able to find fleets of pirate ships on the ocean, along with naturally generated boat docks
the raid captain be like : you want my treasure ?steve? FIND IT ,i left evrything i pillaged in the BASE FIND , and thus began the great anti-pillaging era *insert one piece openingI*
Wait, OFFICIAL MINECRAFT LORE
nope they said nothing new, we've been click-baited
@@Treehouse298 they said the Illagers are sick and everything from 5:58
i mean, they say that villagers once wanted piece but some of them wanted war that's when they became illagers
@@HoppieGodStill nothing new
@@HoppieGodwhich is basically the Ending of Minecraft Legend where Illager wanted to fight and not be weak (if you watch the scene
3:07 To be honest, I just simply love the idea, of an illager focused series, they always felt like they had so much potential, being one of the few beings left capable of having built their own structures, and discovering the world, being only beat in that department by the player.
And heck, maybe we could learn why they pillage, and perhaps have them discover about the origins of all the ancient Minecraft structures, just seems like it'd be fun, like what would they think of the player from their perspective?
Thats basically dungeons
They should make villager soldiers
@HenryHope-ef9qi iron golam
@@HenryHope-ef9qi Illagers kinda are "villager soldiers" according to legends, but they ended up becoming hostile towards villagers who did not take up arms like they did. Acording to the Rise of the Arch-Illager, the villagers who inhabit villages as we know them are a "peaceful people who know better than violence", however, "the world is sometimes not as kind, so that's where the golems come in". While it would be cool to have humanoid friendly soldiers, adding villager soldiers would be a contradiction to the lore, and defeat the very notion of "villager".
Legends already told us there origin
They're either adding more Illagers to Minecraft or They're going to develop a Dungeons sequel. Either one would be amazing, I LOVE Illagers!
I think since this video is about the main Minecraft game and jeb at the end said “the game” he’s talking about regular Minecraft. Either would be amazing but I hope we get some more in vanilla first!!!
Well, if dungeons took 4 years to develop and only closed last year, probably not a sequel
So, new illagers it is
@@minestar2247 There is reason to believe a Dungeons sequel is possible, Mojang was hiring a while back for someone who could specifically develop features that could be implemented in the Dungeons universe
@@sgstudios9122 I'm praying we get the Iceologer, I'll never not be mad that squid reskin won the vote lol
I hope for Illager Pirates
3:57 "I'm so sorry I drank this mysterious bottle that is now causing your village to be under attack"
XD
Yeah its dumb honestly, the original raids were better
Yea
@@TruthKeepersOfficialHD2i mean, i understand why they did it but also couldn't they just make it a different item instead of just making the ominous Bottle?
@@Blizzard_Abyssal exactly. And just copy paste the effect. We hate them for it when they do it with wood n stuff for an entire update, and I don't see why they couldn't pull up the same thing with this.
It's minecraft, it doesn't have to make sense. Bottles are more convenient for the player, and hey it opens the door for other ominous events in the future
Illagers being sick and that explaining why they're gray is actually hilarious

@@scorpion_gaming_tamilbuongiorno amico mio
@@scorpion_gaming_tamilim pretty sure the whole group is called illagers, pillagers are just the ones with the crossbows
@@shiny_crystal you are correct
We REALLY need a village expansion update. Maybe more interactions with villagers. I want to see more elaborate villages.
Personally, my favorite part of the Illagers is that they’re allies with hostile mobs, which may show that unlike the regular Villagers, when they worked together in Legends, they never really stopped their alliance, which is something pretty cool. Imagine just having that generational pact with the literal undead legions so you can have a giant mansion and just chill with them there.
"The Illusioner wants to use its magic" WHAT ILLUSIONERRRRR?
Edit: I just noticed I mixed up my thoughts about the Illusioner with the Iceologer (blue, uses magic) but _neither_ of them are in unmodified survival anyways so my point still seems to stand.
Illusioners were added in 1.11 but they weren't finished
Naruto + Illusioner=???
that sounds like a cool mob weird they never did anything like that
@@Gabriel-lh7gy I think the Illusioner made weaker clones of itself and shot you with arrows, while the Iceologer (the one I was actually thinking of when making this comment) attacks with big ice blocks.
@@Gabriel-lh7gy you can summon it with commands in java edition
1:24 THE WHAT??? ACKNOWLEDGING THE ILLUSIONER NOW???
Not new but they havr been doing it recently.
I hope they will add it offially
they must add it 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
ADD IT MOJANG
they need to add zombie horses one day .
"Dungeons may only use mobs that have been established in Vanilla Minecraft?!" Does that mean we're going to get all those mobs eventually?!
Would mob vote still put the ice pillager in Minecraft being located in the snow biome
I think it meant that like, the starting point of all the dungeons mobs has to be rooted in vanilla
@@PearlVestiMoon yeah
I hope so!!I really want new Illagers added soon!!!
@@PearlVestiMoon what about the wraiths and their variants?
I love how mojang say "mattpad was right" without saying "mattpad was right". Soon they ll confirm that the lapis is indeed the essence of life.
"Grumpy, but not necessarily evil"?
We officially have Squidward in Minecraft :)
6:39 Hopefully, this means we'll finally see the Illusioner and also the Iceologer and more illager types in the future! I can't wait! Thanks Jeb!
1:24 ILLUSIONER FINALLY IMPLEMENTED IN THE NORMAL SPAWN!? Maybe... But that's just a theory A GAMEEEE THEORY

Read the description
1:44 he just wanted to fit in 😭
the narrator is the most relatable person i met
Genuinely hyped for more illagers, they’re my favorite mob
I find it so impressive that pretty much all of the in-game sounds had been literally done by a single guy using nothing more than a simple microphone and his voice :D
ILLUSIONER MENTIONED🗣🔥
Illusioner is mentioned in the video 👀
I hope to see the Enchanters added to the game.
I also want new Illagers!!!Finally someone agrees with me that they should add new illagers!!!!
@@ahsoseggsydog1642Judgind by this video and the fact the "Arrow bench" is still useless, we prob will get a village n pillage second update
@@boogaboogaugaugaprobably. This seems to imply they will finally do something more with the illusions. I want new illagers and for them to expand the villages more. With new village types and maybe even additional golem designs.
I agree they need to add new Illagers
Yeah the enchanters will work well in raids or new illiger location
0:59
So they are introverts! That's why they attack people at random with no reason or purpose
Yess finally some introvert representation 🙌
sounds like a things done by that quit kid in school after 6pm
so you have no idea what an introvert is i see
@@psykbryt2096 As an introvert, I find this quite accurate honestly.
Sounds about right
They should make it so that pillager captains throw ominous bottles at you if you attack them so that raids work like they used to do
I love this but I doubt
6:08 So, the hate started with the Piglins...the Piglins are so proud a thousand years later
the age of empires reference is incredible
WOLOLOOO

2 + yes :D
I was hoping someone was going to notice and comment !!
wololo
3:37 him calling it a "Pillage Tower" instead of a Pillager Outpost hurt my brain
Teasing a pillager update in the future is so exciting
I really new Illagers!!!Please!!Mojang!!!Add new Illagers!!!!Please!!!

@@billbenedon4025 Yes
@@truegameryt9720 Yeah, I'll admit to sometimes using glow ink, but I wouldn't have minded coming across the illusioner while exploring the mountains.
Ahem, I mean Iceologer.
My son has always wanted the illagers from dungeons in vanilla, his favourite is the Mountaineer, he likes its sounds.
And it seems pretty likely it would get added too, it doesn’t seem too out of place in Vanilla Minecraft.
They need to bring back “ten things that you didn’t know about Minecraft”
Minecraft Lore is INSANE! Now this adds so much content.
Miss opportunity to talk about Illagers being afraid of Creaking lore 🤤
Who wouldn't be afraid of an indestructible tree creature that attacks you in the dead of night?

Isn't it the other way around?

Pillager lore
@@bolucubuken I thought Mojang releasing a new mob
illager
Pillagers be like : traveling 1000miles only for killing that one Villager xD
Hope to see more of them in the future too !
Minecraft talking about why the Illagers are grey is the funniest thing ever. And the fact that they go out of their way to change a blue sheep to a red one.
Will they put the Ice illager in the Minecraft game
@vanessasandoval96 I'm not sure but they did say that any mobs that lost the mob vote would return so let's hope they come back
SHUSH! *My FAVORITE Documentary Series is BACK!* ❤
0:45 This is definitely just a joke I’m reading too much into but it aligns strongly to my theory of what Illagers are. Ever since vexes were retextured to look like Allays, I’ve maintained that Illagers are just Villagers with some kind of curse or infection that made them gray and agressive, and were exiled from the village. This would explain why they hunt villagers (for revenge) AND why there are Allays in mansions and outposts- Vexes are Allays that are modified by whatever curse or infection that made the Illagers gray and aggressive. Just found it funny that Mojang made a “Illager is just a sick villager” joke when that’s my theory for what happened. This was challenged by Minecraft Legends, but that game is ambiguous on whether the events therein actually happened or are just a story, so for all we know it could be fiction the villagers use to cover up what really happened to create the Illagers.
3:30 *Pillager outpost. Come on Minecraft, get it right.
Looks like a tower to me :)
they didn't say it as if it's the name of the structure, and a tower and outpost are not mutually exclusive things..
Outpost is the main tower structure and the other minor structures that can form at an outpost like target range, allay cage, iron golem cage, and the tent.
The Woodland Mansion definitely needs a ton of buffs like new illagers and items. Ever since 1.14's addition of raids and totems of undying no longer being exclusive to the mansions, there was no reason to go to one. Now, the only reason to go is for an armor trim template. That's it so hearing Jeb say that they have more plans for illagers in the future is definitely exciting
Right now you can get an efficiency 1 golden apple from the hidden tree room chest if you're into collecting unique items
@jonnyblaze2692 Yes that's true. I got it a few days ago and I also have full leather armor with efficiency 1. It's cool
The color of creaking and the fact that they run from creaking and also this video is a definite hint that we are getting something about these fellas soon
villigers are such a useful mob☺! it can be used for alot of things like:
[1] trading
[2] sla.. FARMING
[3] rades
[4] AI song remix
I think there should be having pillager raid as as zombies in the next update of Minecraft
Bro sed rade
As a Minecraft fan, I can say that this is a masterpiece
ILLAGERS WE NEED IN MINECRAFT FROM DUNGEONS!!! 🔥
- Illusioner
- wind caller (my fav)
- geomancer
- enchanter
- Iceologer
- mountaineer
- & maybe the mage (from the arcade game, which seems to use lighting magic)
Mages are the mainland counterpart of the Iceologer. Instead of lifting chunks of ice and smashing them against their targets, they lift their very own targets and smash them against the ground, which is pretty much the same ability but the other way around. There's also the Mystic who wore brown robes in the same style as the Mage and Iceologer, but it was scrapped.
I can get behind this list 100%. The only ones i can see never being added would be Archie (since he was already defeated), the Royal guards and Vindicator Chefs (as funny as they would be to have in game.)
Should they also include the Armored variants of the Vindicator, Pillager and Mountaineer?
@ like the gold & Diamond trimmed variants? Yes! They could be what make the raids different when players drink high level ominous bottles. They wouldn’t have more health but they’ll have more stats like armor points & enchanted weapons.
Example: the gold variants would have the stat of full gold armor & the same would go for diamond.
illagers need pill-agers
you got me, take my like and get out
You win 😂
😂
Meanwhile, the pillagers:
Wait isn't that cannibalism
2:02 ah yeah, every single mob in dungeons comes from vanilla minecraft. Even those who does not.
Well it's like they all are rooted from a vanilla mob (like how the redstone golem is from the iron golem) It's not always a simple thing but they always come (in some way) from vanilla
@@Beysaboye Yeah its supposed to be building on the base world of minecraft. Kind of like the way minecraft earths mobs function, similar but different
5:03 that is a thing??!
Yeah
Yea, the Illagers play an exclusive cheering animation and sounds after winning a raid. The Pillager actually even plays a celebrating raid horn sound, different from those that play at the beginning of each wave.
I just love the idea of of having a evil army invading your world and would love to see new structures and more Illager variants

WHAT AN EARTH IS THIS 04:25🤯 HUMAN LION
ILLUSIONER MENTIONED 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Something interesting to consider for anyone who likes to build off of quasi-lore: The illagers having the apparently maleable concept of a "bad thing happening" in bottled form means they have some level of insight into the meta layer of the world and the knowledge to magically affect it.
At least that's how I like to interpret the fact that the thing that can make trial spawners go into overdrive can also initiate a full scale raid out of thin air - the illagers have figured out that they are narratively the bad guys and are using it to paracausally create armies for their raids.
i think the implication is that they are followoing the player to the village as revenge for killing the captain ,
@@conorprendergast9876 That used to be the case until the bad omen effect was turned into a potion that the pillager captain drops rather than being an effect instantly applied to you for killing one. And like I said, the fact that this same bad omen effect can now trigger something completely separate from an illager raid means it's a much more generalized concept that they've managed to figure out how to obtain in a storable form and actively use to bolster their attacking power.
Plus, I just like concept magic like that, where an entity within the narrative is able to at least partially manipulate and interact with certain narrative elements on the meta level. Like in this case the illagers having and exploiting a definitive answer to the question "who are the bad guys?"
It's Minecraft-typical quasi-lore, so everything is up to interpretation and full of gaps for you to fill yourself, but this is the way it works best for me.
More illagers?! illagers are my favorite mobs so yay
Yes!!!!I also want more illagers to be added!!!
Well I wish that if Pillagers Ravenger Evoker Vex Vindictor and Illusioner as zombie in the updates 1.23 or other future updates

They should add the Illusioner and Iceologer already
I agree 100%
The illusionner, sure, youd need to adapt it to bedrock though
For iceloger, nah, they're gonna make it into another illager caster
Yeah we need icologers
Something i haven’t seen anybody talk about is the fact that the Illagers run away from The Creaking, but The Creaking doesn’t attack them, that’s just LORE of the connection between the Illagers and the Pale Garden.
The illagers are cool 👍✨️ I really, really hope they'll add more of them. Like the iceologer and illusioner
