[@CyberSurvivor44]

I think nausea would be a better choice

[@NYKevin100]

It would also make the All Advancements speedrun significantly less complicated. To get the advancement "How Did We Get Here?," you need to be affected by, among other things, dolphin's grace (can only be given by dolphins and only lasts a few seconds), levitation (can only be given by shulkers and only lasts a few seconds), and darkness (can only be given by the warden and naturally-generated sculk shriekers, and only lasts a few seconds). Since it is completely impossible to relocate sculk shriekers and still have them summon the warden or give darkness, you have to do this nonsense in the deep dark. Neither dolphins nor shulkers spawn in the deep dark, so you have to transport them. Dolphins are a pain to transport, because they are allergic to both water and air (they drown if underwater too long, they dry out and take damage if out of water for too long). In pre-1.19 versions of the game, darkness did not exist, so you just had to get the shulker to the overworld. If illusioners spawned in raids and gave darkness, you could skip the deep dark and do it that way instead. If they only spawn in woodland mansions, then it might still be worth it if the RNG likes you and puts one reasonably close to spawn. You have to explore all biomes and acquire elytra for two other advancements, so "reasonably close" is still a pretty generous distance. (As if that isn't bad enough, you also have to build both a beacon and a conduit to get their exclusive effects, but you already had to do those things anyway for other advancements.)

[@MindcraftMC]

But darkness and nausa can be turned down using Vanilla client settings

[@6Unknown_Source9]

tbh, blindess is okay but instead of a 20 seconds blindness, ot should be a 1-2 seconds just to catch it target by surprise, while having a cooldown of 1 minute

[@Geckoreo]

wait it prevents sprinting?

[@oddtomato1049]

I feel like they could have implemented this mob in a much simpler way. Instead of having illusions as they are now, the Illusioner could get a short-range teleport where when he gets hit he spawns in clones which share a simpler version of his AI but can't shoot. They despawn after a few seconds or until the Illusioner spawns in a new batch.

[@mechacode8527]

I agree, I think the current behavior kinda defeats its own purpose. When the illusioner creates the illusions, they center around him while he gets an invisibility effect, which is useless because you know the ones you can see aren't the real one, so you'll just aim for the middle. Making him blend in with simpler AI copies of himself would make him work better both mechanically and conceptually.

“Forgotten by MOJANG”

[@Daralexen]

They put it in Minecraft Dungeons with an entirely new design. So, it is not entirely forgotten. Just stuck in Development Hell with fellow forgotten mobs like Giants, Zombie Horses, Killer Bunnies, Ostriches, Termites, Meerkats, and Vultures.@@tacocattacocat7382

[@Pyrotrainthing]

I feel like if the Illusioner is added, it should probably have either more useful drops for the health or more preferrable a lower health more consistent with the other illagers. An example is a mod called Friends and Foes which adds several mobs from previous mob votes (up to the 2022 Mob Vote), the mod not only retextures the Illusioner to the MC Dungeons texture, but gives it a structure called the Illusioner's shack to spawn at, the structure having its own loot and a villager locked behind iron bars in the basement of a shack. The unique drop the Illusioner gives you in Friends & Foes is a new totem called the "Totem of Illusion" which functions similar to a totem of undying but instead places clones to distract hostile mobs and blinds any enemies nearby (there's a 3rd totem for the Iceolloger which is also added by the mod but that's a different mob).Juxtapose that with an unenchanted bow, something that you already have, and later on already have enchanted, it feels useless, giving everything a drop does not mean all drops are useful. That's also without mentioning the illusion effect, which I feel is interesting, but I think something more like having a Illusioner illusion clones be entities that look slightly different than the original would be more effective, I could be wrong considering these are words not lines of code and I don't imagine programming it would be an easy task.

[@Daralexen]

I love that mod! I also believe that version of the Illusionist spawns rarely in cold biomes. I once fought one in a Taiga, but I think it despawned once I shot it with a Crayfish gun. Since I saw no totem, EXP, and I did not see it added to my kill counts in the statistics menu.

[@Kirill17]

I think this falls in the same line as giants are in. If you didnt know in a 1.14 snapshot giants where asded to be parts of raids and had actual working ai and would attack villages etc when in one but theu were removed in a later snapshots from them

bro it'd be crazy if buffed the illusioner and made it a boss for the trial chambers. Just image finishing all the spawners and suddenly everything goes black, and the darkness started blinking to slowly reveal the illusioner in front of you, this would also give a new purpose to the darkness effect given by the Warden!

[@James89227]

I think that the illusioner being in the trial chambers is a great idea, but I could only see the Devs adding it as a Mini boss, which does kinda make sense. Having it spawn from a spawner would be cool, but if it did they would need to make an illager themed spawner room too. Also if they are still doing that lore stuff they were doing in the trails and tails update it wouldn’t fit very well if illagers were spawned by spawners

[@ChesnokOrNot]

I think the raid boss needs the illusioner, it'll make that more interesting. If Mojang wanted to make the mob more friendly to non-experienced players, I had a couple ideas to fix it. The first would be to make the illusions transparent, both to explain the phasing and to reduce confusion. The second is to give the real illusioner extra, more visible particles that help the player figure out where it is.

[@ShayTheValiant]

The illusioner also reminds me of other unimplemented mobs like the zombie giant and the zombie horse and makes me wonder what Mojang originally had planned for them.

[@notgiothehippie9927]

They should put the illusioner in a biome without any special mobs/structures

[@eeeeeeeeeeri]

I played a modpack that had the illusioner as a mob that could randomly spawn like the pillagers, and it was the single most annoying mob to deal with, I don't know if they buffed him or he is just really broken, I think the illusioner is a similar case to the phantom that is a cool idea that is just really annoying in practice, if Mojang will add him he needs to be really uncommon or fix him because it's just not a fun enemy to fight

[@cubed.public]

I've always hated the illusioner and heavily discourage any use of it in custom maps (even though mapmakers still will because its a cool mechanic and they're too lazy to make their own) New players are oftentimes incredibly confused, rightly believing that one of the illusions is the real one. In reality, none of them are real and its literally just an invisibility potion - an incredibly dumb mechanic as the entire point of "illusions" become pointless as you just ignore them and swing randomly for the invisible mob

[@timectrl]

The Illusioners are like unlisted youtube videos.

[@bobcheesemin]

If they add the illusioner to raids, they should add a new combat villager variant

[@sandwichqueen]

Imagine these things in the end though. Have a trail spawner that spawns one at a time and you have the perfect combination. The end is flatter which will make the glitches not matter, the only thing you'll have to worry about accidentally hitting are the endermen, and fighting them could be used to unlock an Elytra. Would be an amazing miniboss to the End.

[@MishaGold]

Am I the one who don't really likes the suggestion to include Illusioners in the Trial Chambers? Like, this dungeon doesn't look like something Illager-themed at all. And Illagers were never mobs that spawned from spawners, like some people like to suggest.

[@Healthandwealth9422]

[@ryan20028]

[@pythronex]

Love that they were added to the RPG SMP's Dungeons, it really adds a challenge because they are stupidly annoying to kill.

[@ethoatom668]

I do think the blindness mechanic is something that'd need to be changed because right now, it's something you can't really counter unless you take milk, distance yourself from the illusioner until the effect is over, or just rush in and hope you find the real one. Either make it an attack that can be avoided (like some magic blast or blindness arrow) or just replace it with something else.

[@randomnessanimation6831]

Such a missed opportunity for a boss or mini-boss! C’mon Mojang, Give the Illusioner a chance!

[@MrDoodar]

So we have this mob which has probably the most complex ai in the game and then we have the giant which isn’t smart enough to walk.

[@lightninng0]

They actually gave it ai and damage in a 1.14 snapshot but briefly afterwards removed it, never to add it back

[@kamilvtf]

I remember playing in one mod build where this illusionaire could spawn in one of the structures. I had iron and leather armor, but it wasn't too hard to kill him

[@BeepBoopBee]

To be fair, the illusioner is a pretty tricky mob that (in its current implementation) doesn't really fit with any of the biomes or mechanics. It's supposed to be an illager, but it stands out like a sore thumb in comparison. The Mansion doesn't create enough open space and raids have the issue of fucky terrain around villages. Jungle and desert temples have all the above problems. And while their aesthetic fits well with the deep dark and ancient cities, those biomes are supposed to be free of all mobs except for the warden and bats. Honestly, the only way to properly implement them is to create a new structure centered around illagers or create a new category of hostile humanoid mobs. I imagine that they'd be implemented in a structure of sorts that spawns in biomes that are mostly flat, like the plains. Maybe some sort of castle like structure. Or they could make some sort of clouds biome and give the illusioner the ability to levitate or walk on air. The problem is plain and simple: the illusioner doesn't really fit the vanilla Minecraft experience. It feels like it's part of some wizard mod. That's why they haven't been able to implement it.

[@leochangesnames]

A few months ago there was an Xisuma, Cubfan, and other hermits stream with gnembon (developer) testing out trial chambers. They did put an illusioner into the spawner at one point, and briefly discussed it. From what gnembon said, we can infer that internally illusioner is considered too unintuitive and hard. Tbh I agree with that, a player not involved in the community wouldn't know about the invisibility and would just die not understanding what they're doing wrong. Also 20s blindness is insane, 2-3 should be enough.

[@animalntaz]

An interesting idea would be that an illusioner can spawn after a number of ticks nearby, based on your witches kill count.

[@tepig2828]

How I would implement it is make it so that instead of going invisible, it stays visible and summons 3 clones. The actual illusioner will look different from the clones, thus making it a “spot the difference” based enemy.

[@billyhatcher643]

i think the illusioner would be a great final boss fight for the trial chambers cause the other enemies wouldnt be super difficult while this guy would be really hard to beat compared to the rest

[@SuperMAZ007]

I think the deal with the illusioner is that it's been hold back for the main minecraft game. Not so much to do buggy behavior, but it dose not fit with any of the current update themes. True they could have added it in village and pillage update. However I think maybe it is also a placeholder for something else?

[@NotKnafo]

[@Lukaurio]

I feel like the illusioner could have been added if they tried harder to simplify it's attacks, or make it's so it could be added. Their game is dying they want to save it they got to try harder. That's my take on everything honestly. The modding Community is doing better than the staff right now, it seems very commonplace these days. The only game I can look at and say the modding community and the staff development team are on the same page would be terraria, that Community is always so open to ideas and suggestions. Maybe mojang should try doing the same thing. In a nutshell I think a mob like this could be a great addition to Minecraft if they would dip their toes in the water for harder difficulties to the game. Hardcore is great and all but having mobs like this remind me of the Minecraft Twilight forest mod. Having intricate mobs like this would make the game a lot more fun, maybe even adding mobs like this and special dungeons around the world as a way of progressing through the game while also having that creative aspect. If the illusioner does in fact make it to the trial Chambers I feel like that is the perfect way to add it. Even if there are no pillagers in that dungeon. This is all a personal opinion and I'm not judging anyone that plays Minecraft and has a different opinion. :)

[@GaboCO316]

I think the real illusioner should still be visible when he spawns the clones. That way you can still manage to hit the real one while still havin that unique ability

[@thecrimsoncreep6665]

They should make him act like he does in Dungeons. That was definitely a more unique and boss-like version of the mob.

[@danese1636]

The mods that add these into the games mostly just add their ability to spawn and do not modify their attach behavior, abilities, etc. Fighting them is quite difficult, not because of uniqueness, but because of the way their abilities work. I'd love for them to be added, but they currently are quite broken (especially in their duplication ability). The main mob turns invisible, while they spawn a set of duplicated... This makes them hard to actually hit. A simple fix would be to have one of the illusions be the actual mob.

[@neonoir__]

its a very cool mob for map makers to play with, a lot of ctm maps use illusioners as a rarer mob or part of mob (spawners that spawn mobs riding each other are pretty common) in more difficult areas. A map I'm playing right now has custom evokers that ride illusioners as a rare spawner type, they are really interesting to fight since the illusioner protects the evoker well when theres a bunch of mob spam around you. The mob is useless in normal gameplay but it is still used in map making very succesfully

[@mc_lecraft80]

Maybe you could make the other illusions have a Hitbox, so that he just clones weaker versions of him so that they don’t glitch through the block but they just don’t have that good attacks so it’s just like a boss that spawns mini versions

[@eessppeenn001]

What if we change is to, instead of partaking in raids. Illusioners will stand guard around the village. Preventing villagers and players from escaping. They're not meant to be killed, and will flee of you sucsessfully beat the raid. New players will see a few invulnerable enemies surounding them around the village. While experienced players will know the Illusioner will not enter the village and will not be a problem, and their loot is poor. So in both cases, you'll end up either having to decide to stay within the village and fend of the raid, or make a break for it past the illusioner who casts blindness on you if you try to escape, so you won't know if Vindicatos are chasing you down.

[@frank-yp9br]

They should add these to the trail chambers or not or something

[@SJrad]

experimental combat snapshots and bundles really need attention too

[@bobcheesemin]

the illusioner could probably ruin some raid farms

[@6Unknown_Source9]

A rebalance change would be: 1. Instead spawning invulnerable illusions, it now spawns "Real Illusions" that can be killed by 1 hit. The Illusioner would spawn 4-5 illusions that can attack but deals 1 damage(half a heart) in all difficulties while the Illusioner is also visible and attacks normally and resets it illusions when they take great damage or all illusions are gone. 2. When spawning illusions, the Illusioner will reposition itself or teleport while spawning illusions to confuse players. 3. The blindness attack is now change, instead of 20 sec, it's now a 2 second blindness and it has a cooldown of 1 minute and cast time of 2 seconds.

[@DiamondPanda207]

I wonder if the original vision for it was for one of the illusions to have hitboxs and the ability to wack down the clones to find the ‘real’ one. That could explain the technical limitations mentioned. something to do with having the hitbox move while keeping the ai relative to its original position, or splitting one entity into 4 entities that can then re merge into one entity dynamically
