The Magehunter Vindicator is a hostile melee mob added by Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. It is a Vindicator variant that always holds an enchanted Magehunter sword in its main hand. It has 24 health (12 hearts) and no ranged or spell attacks. It is placed inside the towers of the Evoker Fort structure, so the sword is available from the fort's towers and from the mob that guards them.

Spawning

The Magehunter Vindicator has no natural biome spawn entries and does not appear in the random mob spawning of any biome. It is placed by the Evoker Fort structure. The tower piece of the fort contains one Magehunter Vindicator in each copy of the tower that generates.

The fort's monster spawn override does not use this mob. It lists vanilla Vindicators (a group of 4) and Pillagers (groups of 2 to 3) for each fort piece. Magehunter Vindicators are therefore found only where the tower placed them, and they are present whatever the time of day.

In Fear Nightfall, the Evoker Fort placement uses the mod's default spacing of 85 chunks and separation of 50 chunks. The pack adds an exclusion zone that keeps the fort at least 6 chunks away from villages.

Does not spawn naturally in any biome (see Obtaining/Spawning text).

Behavior

The Magehunter Vindicator uses the vanilla Vindicator behaviour. It moves toward the nearest player within its follow range of 12 blocks and attacks in melee. It has no special abilities, phases or spells.

Its base stats are:

  • Max health: 24 (12 hearts)
  • Attack damage: 5
  • Movement speed: 0.35
  • Armor and knockback resistance: 0
  • XP dropped: 5

Its movement speed of 0.35 is well above the player's base walking speed of 0.1, so the mob catches a fleeing player.

The mob's class passes the vanilla Vindicator entity type to its parent constructor. The mob therefore behaves, and is saved, as a vanilla Vindicator that carries a sword. The 1.5 × 0.95 block size from its registration does not apply in game.

The held sword is enchanted with Sharpness V. The sword's stats are described in the section on drops.

Drops

The Magehunter Vindicator can drop its Magehunter sword. The mob class does not change the drop chance, so the sword follows the vanilla rule for equipment drops. The base chance is 8.5%, and Looting raises it. A dropped sword keeps its Sharpness V enchantment.

No item drops.

Magehunter

The Magehunter is a sword with these stats:

  • Durability: 1561
  • Attack damage bonus: 6
  • Attack speed modifier: -2.4
  • Enchantability: 12
  • Spell Resist: +15%
  • Fire resistant
  • Repair material: Arcane Ingot

The sword's attack damage and speed modifiers apply while it is held in the main hand. For its crafting and other weapons in the mod, see Iron's Spellbooks Weapons.

Tips

  • The mob cannot be outrun. Its speed of 0.35 is well above the walking speed of 0.1, so a player should fight it or block its path.
  • It attacks only in melee. A shield blocks its hits.
  • Kill it near a place where you can retreat or heal, because its sword enchanted with Sharpness V hits hard.
  • Looting increases the chance of the Magehunter sword dropping.
