Difficult Raids

Do you enjoy Illager Raids?

Do you think they’re too easy?

Do you want some actual rewards from the villagers for saving their lives?

If you answered yes to any of these, this mod is for you!

This mod is now in beta! It is fully playable, but needs work on balancing and textures (textures are mostly complete as of v1.1.1).

Difficult Raids

You pause for a second, having just defeated a simple raid on Hard difficulty. As you collect the spoils of war, you wonder if the Illagers are really as weak as you think. After all, you absolutely decimated their last group, are they really a threat?

Elsewhere, the Evokers, Vindicators, Pillagers and their Ravagers have had enough. They’ve been getting their butts kicked since 2019, and now they want revenge. But they can’t do it alone. The Illagers have only been using a fraction of their true power. Now, ready to exact vengeance, they initiate PvE skill-based matchmaking and bring out the full might of the Illager army…

This mod adds 4 new tiers of raid difficulty!

Hero – Harder than vanilla Raids, you will find yourself fighting the same Raiders, but with upgraded gear. On later waves, you may catch a glimpse of some new friends joining the fight!

Legend – The Illagers know you mean business. And so, they will properly introduce you to their new friends. Be prepared to face an onslaught of new, powerful Raiders!

Master – It’s you versus them. They’re not holding back anymore, and you want the pinnacle challenge. The Illagers attack with the full force of their army. This is the true test!

Apocalypse – Don’t pick this. You’ve been warned. (Apocalypse difficulty spawns massive numbers of mobs, and everyone is kitted with the maximum power they can possibly have. It may cause large amounts of server lag, and is completely unbalanced. It’s not technically supposed to be a real difficulty mode, it’s just so I see how insane Raids could be without taking any regard for balance or lag!)

What difficulty should you pick?

Additional Notes:

– Illagers will almost always spawn with enchanted weapons, and enchanted armor (currently invisible).

– Raid waves may spawn with Reinforcements, comprised of other mobs around the Minecraft world.

– Raid difficulty will also scale based on the world difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard), and occasionally based on the number of players present.

– I highly recommend playing this mod with Guard Villagers – you need all the help you can get!

Meet the Illagers

Difficult Raids adds 8 new Illager mobs that will join during Raids to exact their revenge.

The Warrior

Vindicators that have decided to master swords instead of axes. In doing so, they managed to increase their attack and movement speeds!

The Tank

Who needs to deal tons of damage when you can survive forever? These Illagers have sacrificed powerful weapons for full sets of enchanted armor.

The Dart

What was that? Within milliseconds, your health will disappear. Dart Illagers have insanely fast movement and attack speeds, and unleash multiple blows within seconds. They don’t have much health though, so they can be taken out simply, if you can actually hit them, that is…

The Assassin

Another fast Illager? Wait, it’s not going for me? Where’s it headed? Raid Defeat. Assassin Illagers are just like Dart Illagers: they’re fast, and attack even faster. But, they don’t go for players – they target villagers and iron golems, aiming to get them victory before you even find where the Raiders spawned.

Evoker Variants

The Illusioner

Mobs that are fully implemented within Minecraft, but don’t spawn, these guys will create copies of themselves, inflict blindness on targets, and fire arrows until you’re gone.

The Conductor

These evokers have mastered the art of lightning. They unleash a few lightning bolts, a concentrated bolt that deals high damage, a ring of lightning that surrounds them, or a slowness bolt that weakens their targets. They aren’t masters though, and their bolts can’t start wildfires or convert villagers to witches.

The Necromancer

These evokers use your skills against you by reviving fallen foes as Zombies or Skeletons to attack you. They can summon minions, which have full sets of armor, or hordes, which are short-living skeletons that swarm targets. Necromancers are always looking for more to add to their army, and they will attempt to bury you as well if you get too close…

The Shaman

These evokers don’t deal damage. Instead, they buff their allies with Resistance or Strength, and apply a whole assortment of debuffs to their targets.

The Frostmage

These evokers have mastered the power of ice. They emit a slowness aura around them, causing any enemies to slow down as they try to target the Frost Illager. They can freeze their targets in place, and unleash a barrage of snowballs, pestering their enemies.

Raid Loot:

After winning a Raid, rewards will drop near the village center after the Raid bar goes away. You will find plenty of useful resources, and the amount of loot that drops increases with Raid Difficulty.

This loot also contains new, unique variants of the classic Totem of Undying. All of these variants will revive you upon taking fatal damage, but provide a little something extra when that happens as well!

Note: this mod is highly configurable. Almost every aspect of the added difficulty (except spawns, I’m looking into this), and attacks of the custom illagers can be configured through the server config, different for each difficulty. You can also disable the added difficulty (and all features) of this mod by changing the Raid Difficulty setting to Default.

Future Plans:

– More compatibility (Compatibility with Guard Villagers has been added already)

– Balancing

– More raid loot?

– More illagers!

– Increasing the number of waves in a Raid

If you’re really good at texturing and want to help out by texturing some of the Illagers or Totems in this mod, please reach out to me! I would really appreciate anyone’s help, even if you texture one entity or item

Compatibility:

Compatibility has not been tested with other mods explicitly. However, in general, this mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn’t use mixins that overwrite components of Raiders and the Raid class itself.

If a mod that should be compatible isn’t, please post an issue to the GitHub repository. I am actively looking into mods that impact the Raid experience, and plan to incorporate them into this mod.

Difficult Raids has out of the box compatibility with:

Guard Villagers – Guards will attack Raiders and will try to help you out.

Hunter Illager – Hunter Illagers will show up in Raids and will receive upgraded equipment based on the Raid Difficulty.

Modpack Use:

Go ahead!
