Pillager Knight

Pillager Knight is a server-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds mounted pillager cavalry to your world.

Features

Mounted Patrols

• Patrol leaders now ride armored gray horses 100% of the time
• Regular patrol members have a 10% chance to spawn on horseback
• All mounted pillagers wield iron spears instead of crossbows

Outpost & Raid Rules

• Pillager Outposts: Only the patrol leader rides a horse; regular soldiers remain on foot to prevent overwhelming cavalry spam
• Raids: Pillagers have a 10% chance to spawn as cavalry. Vindicators and Evokers keep their vanilla behavior
• Critical fix: Horses are never added to the Raider list, so raid progress is never blocked by surviving mounts

Horse Mechanics

• Horses are gray to match pillager aesthetics
• Come pre-equipped with a saddle
• Tamed but ownerless — players can mount them immediately after killing the rider
• Average horse speed and health

Combat

• Cavalry charges at players and retreats after striking, then re-engages
• If dismounted, the pillager continues fighting on foot with the spear
• Foot soldiers use iron swords or crossbows

Installation

This is a server-side only mod. Players connecting to your server do not need to install anything.
