MaxStuff – Minecraft In-Depth – The Illusioner

Hello everybody welcome back to another video and this video is the very first episode of a new series on this channel this is the first episode of minecraft in depth and so in this series i will be covering everything about one specific topic for minecraft and the topic will be chosen

By you guys except for this very first episode i’ve chosen the topic myself so you guys can suggest the next topic in the comments down below and upload the one you think is the best and so if you like this series or if you like minecraft in

General please make sure to leave a like and subscribe to the channel for more videos like this one and so the main premise of this series is to just explain everything about a specific topic and so this can be in a couple of different categories so we have entities structures biomes

Blocks items and random so that’s just a random other topic that doesn’t fit into any of the other categories the first topic we’re covering in this series is the illusioner as you already saw in the title and thumbnail and i want to thank this michelada for creating the

Beautiful logo you saw at the start of the video and i’ll put it on screen right now once again thank you so much picolar for creating this awesome logo for the series and so as i said the very first episode of minecraft in depth is about the illusioner we see right here

This is a mob that was added on the 20th of april in 2017 in microsoft 17w16a it is one of the illiters and it can cast spells and use a bow as well but we’ll get into that later on currently the only way to get

This mob in your world is by using the summon command it doesn’t spawn naturally in survival mode and there’s also no spawnack in the creative inventory now this is a hostile mob and so we’ll see what it does by trying to fight it so summon him in

And fight him and afterwards we’ll go into greater detail with the specific attacks the illusioner has so let’s summon him in i currently have diamond armor let’s go into survival mode a diamond sword and a bow and here we’ll see the first attack he cast spells and then he starts using a bow

And so there we go he tries to shoot me he’s not very successful you can see there’s a couple of them attacked on top of each other there we go he hit me with a bow it doesn’t do any damage though we can hit him and then he splits up into four different

Duplicates of himself now there’s one that has particles around it and that’s the real one there we go if you hit it they all take damage and then they split up again so you just have to find the particles here they are hit it and they split back up again you

Do this a couple of times there we go and we killed it and all the different duplicates die at the same time as well so the illusioner will attack players villagers iron golems and wandering traders when you spawn them in during a raid

So here we go we started up a raid in a village and now we will summon in an illusionaire there we go and now as you can see he will start attacking the villagers over here and the iron golem as well and iron golem will attack

Back and so it fires one arrow every second which is quicker than a normal skeleton and a loser can actually see their target through walls let’s block off this house completely there we go we put an illusioner on the other side of a wall it will go out and go after the villager

As well and so the loser will want to keep the exact same distance every single time while fighting a player and so if you go close to him he will move further away only they are very laggy so it goes very slowly as you can see

But if you retreat and try to run away they will actually come after you here we see they’re actually coming after me once i go far away and so indeed the real illusioner is invisible and it summons four duplicates around it this is one of his two spells he also

Has another spell which is casting blindness and so the blindness effect only appears when the original difficulty is higher than two so let’s put it on hard which actually puts our original difficulty above two and now he can use the blindness spell on us and you also see the different particles

And there we go he used the blightness spell on us and now we’re blind we get blindness for 20 seconds so let’s see that again go into survival and we’ll see this first attack so it starts waving his hands around you see the dark particles appear the dark mist particles

And he gives us the blindness and so it will only attack the player or the target once with this spell and afterwards it will just do its usual spell of duplicating and going invisible and so it could use the blindness spell on another entity but there is a 9 second cooldown before

8 can use it on another entity afterwards and it also sets the normal spell cool down to one second so it has to wait one second after it’s done the blind spell to be able to do the duplication spell for example now for the duplicate spell the illusioner will

Raise its arms and produce this blue particle and this suggests that we’ll do its duplication spell so there we go he duplicated himself and now once you hit him he will also spread these out there we go so as long as the loser is in combat it caused

The invisibility effect on itself for 60 seconds and if the effect runs out it just applies it again and so the duplicates of the illusioner hover around short distances of the real illusioner but they can move through blocks just like vexes as you can see here they’re moving through the grass blocks

They also face the exact same way as the real illusioner and move with the illusioner as well and so only the real illusioner can actually shoot you all these others can’t do that even though you can see the animation in their hands like this only the real illusion shoots an arrow

As you can see there and so every once in a while the illusion can also refresh the positions of these duplicates if they are not attacked for a long period of time there we go it refreshed its duplicates illusioner positions and so when you hit the illusionary in the center all

Duplicates snap back to the original one and then spread out again so there we go let’s hit him there we go and you see it happening and if you were to hit the illusioner with a spectral error or just give it glowing in general it will make all the duplicates glow

Instead of the real illusioner there we go all duplicates start glowing but the real loosener is not glowing but still invisible you can’t set fire to these duplicates or damage them in any way and if you try to burn the real illusioner it only makes the real illusion there

Burn so as you can see the burnt particle is where the real illusion there is and you can actually see it also glowing because of the glowing effect we gave it before so this makes it very easy to see where the real illusion there is and there we go all duplicates disappear

If the invisibility effect disappears off the real illusioner that’s after 60 seconds but it just uses the same attack again it can also use the blindness deck if it hasn’t done so already so this duplication spell resets the spell cooldown to one second so it needs one second after the spell

Has been cast to do another spell it also sets the invisibility spell cooldown to 17 seconds but it doesn’t really make sense because of course the illusioner is visible for 60 seconds so it can always use the invisibility spell multiple times after each other if you kill the illusioner

There is an 8.5 percent chance of getting its bow and the ball will have around your ability just like when you kill a skeleton it can drop its bow you also get 5 experienced orbs when you kill the illusioner the illusioner has 16 hearts or 32 hit points

It does between 2 and 5 hit points of damage on easy and normal and between 3 and 5 hit points on hard it’s two blocks tall and it next responds with a bow in steps of 18w 43a for 1.14 the illusioner’s eyes which changed from blue to green and in snapshot19w13a some

More functionality was added to the illusioner and that’s because if it wins a raid it will start jumping up and down and laughing as well so let’s see this happening by summoning another raid and summoning in some illusioners here we go we have a whole lot of

Illusioners now the raid is won by the illusioners if all the villagers die or if all the bets are destroyed okay so i can’t seem to get this to work all the villagers have died over here and i haven’t killed any one of them they were all killed by the illusioners

And i didn’t see them jump up and down once so i’ll overlay some footage right now of what should have happened so here we see the illusioners jumping and laughing after they’ve killed all the villagers and won the raid so of course these illusions don’t spawn during raids but it was suggested

In 2019 so as of now they don’t spawn in minecraft at all and so there we go that was the very first episode of minecraft in depth if you liked this episode and you think you liked this series please help me out by leaving a like leaving a comment and subscribing to the
