The Missioner is a hostile boss-type mob added by Born in Chaos that patrols the overworld at night and fires magic charges at players. The Missionary Raider is the raid version of the same creature, built from the same stats and behaviour, which appears as a raider rather than as a natural spawn. Both have 150 health (75 hearts), and both defend themselves with a series of effects that stun them, teleport them and summon help. Both drop the Dark Metal materials, a set of charms and the Missionary Hat.

The Missioner is one of the few Born in Chaos bosses that spawns on its own. Once the world has passed a certain time threshold, it appears in darkness across most overworld biomes, so it is a threat that a player will meet during ordinary night travel, not only in a structure or a raid.

Spawning

The Missioner (missioner) is a natural monster. It can spawn in the overworld once the world time is at least 228,400 ticks, which is about 9.5 in-game days. It spawns only where the light level is low: at 4 or less on a block open to the sky, or at 0 on a block with no sky access. It does not spawn in the Deep Dark or Mushroom Fields biomes. Spawning also requires the missionarySpawn game rule, which is enabled by default. The mod's biome modifier lists 283 biomes where the Missioner can appear, including caves, oceans, rivers, forests and plains. Each spawn adds two zombie villagers beside it when the adjacent space is open. Its spawn weight is 2 and it spawns alone (group size 1).

The Missionary Raider (missionary_raider) has no natural spawns. It is registered as a raider type in the raid system, so it can join raid waves. Its spawn egg can also summon it directly.

Behavior

Missioner

The Missioner moves with a random stroll at 0.7 speed, with a movement speed of 0.24. It targets the nearest player and any player that attacks it. Its ranged attack goal has a 1.25 movement speed, a 60-tick attack interval and a 15-block range. When it fires, it throws a Missionary Charge projectile:

• The charge deals 6 damage and knocks the target back with a strength of 1.
• The charge applies a 20-tick (1 second) effect from Born in Chaos Effects on a hit.
• The charge is removed when it lands on a block.

Its melee attack deals 9 damage. It has 10 armor, and its knockback resistance is 1, which means it is fully immune to knockback. It is 0.9 blocks wide and 3 blocks tall, and it has a follow range of 21.

When the Missioner is first targeted by a player, it gains four effects, applied only if it does not already have Magic Depletion or the Sacrifice effect: Undead Summon (60 ticks), Magic Depletion (300 ticks), Resistance III (80 ticks) and Sacrifice (600 ticks).

Missionary Raider

The Missionary Raider shares the Missioner's stats, ranged attack and damage numbers. It also targets villagers and iron golems in addition to players. It has the same hit reactions as the Missioner, described below.

Hit reactions and weather

Both creatures react to damage in the same way.

• Rain: When a Missioner that spawned with the flag set takes damage while its health is between 100 and 150, and it is not raining, the weather turns to rain and a visual-only lightning bolt strikes the Missioner. The flag is then cleared, so this happens only once per spawn.
• Stun: When the creature is below 140 health (max health minus 10) and it has Magic Depletion, it gains Stunning Strike for 42 ticks (about 2 seconds) and plays its stun animation.
• Escape: When the creature is below 140 health and it has neither Magic Depletion nor Undead Summon, it gains Magic Depletion (300 ticks), Undead Summon (60 ticks) and Resistance III (60 ticks). It then teleports 8 blocks to the east, if the two blocks at that position are open.

Death

When the Missioner dies, any active rain is stopped. If the killer is a player, the Dark Creator advancement progresses. The death gives 100 experience points.

The Missioner and the Missionary Raider have matching loot tables with charms, Ethereal Spirit, Orb of the Summoner, the Missionary Hat and Dark Metal drops, so the same rewards are available from either.

Variants

The Missioner is the non-raid version. It is a boss-type monster and it spawns naturally, so it is the version that most players will fight. The Missionary Raider is the raid version. It is a raider-type monster, so it counts toward a raid's total. Its spawn egg is a separate item.

The Missionary Charge is the projectile that both creatures fire. It is 0.5 blocks in size and does not spawn naturally.

Related items

• Missionary Hat is a helmet that is part of the Born in Chaos Armor and Hats set. Its durability is 440. When a player wearing it is attacked by a hostile monster, the player gains Magic Depletion for 300 ticks and a controlled baby skeleton spawns at their position if the space is open. The hat then tames any untamed controlled baby skeletons within 2.5 blocks of the wearer. The hat does nothing while the wearer has Magic Depletion, which means it can only trigger again after that effect expires.
• Missionary Spawn Egg summons the Missioner.
• Missionary Spawn Egg summons the Missionary Raider.

Tips

• Fight the Missioner from a distance or behind cover. Its charges are its main threat, and its 15-block range means it will fire at you as you approach. Breaking line of sight stops its attacks until it closes the distance.
• Watch its health as it drops. Once it falls below 140 health, the stun and escape effects begin, and it may teleport away. Damage it while it is stunned, but expect the teleport after that.
• The rain effect can make the fight harder to predict. Expect rain and a lightning bolt once the Missioner first drops below 150 health, if it has not yet rained.
• The Missionary Hat is a useful piece of defence for players who want a controlled ally. Wear it when travelling at night in an area with monsters, and expect the baby skeleton ally to appear after the first attack.
