About this Mod

Fantasy Illagers is a mod that adds new and challenging Illagers to fight and structures to explore on your adventures! Explore and fight your way to the Devourer's Keep up in the snowy mountains and challenge the Devourer boss by offering up the Devourer's Temptation on the Altar of Blood!
Among the new Illagers added are the Distortioner, an illager capable of twisting reality to disorient their foes. The Occultist, summoning Shades to assist her in battle. The Machinist, an inventor with a repertoire of machines that he will use to take you down! Vampires and Vampire Chefs, gathering in the Devourer's Keep per their invitation. As well as a few other mobs such as the Vampling, Moochanical, Unicorns and Rats.
Defeat these Illagers to get your hands on some of their weapons and abilities!

Alternatively, read the full list of features on the wiki.
When using the mod in survival it is recommended that you use a mod that can show you crafting recipes such as JEI.
Some Fantasy Illagers structures generate with blocks from Mel's DeCo however, Mel's DeCo is not required for this mod to work!
1.20.1 Disclaimer! Fantasy Illagers was designed for versions 1.21.1 and higher therefore some of the features are not entirely functional in 1.20.1 (Structures that use tuff will use different blocks, placeholder particles, Distortion effects do nothing as there is no scale attribute in 1.20.1).
