Spawning
Vindicators only spawn under a few circumstances. More specifically, Vindicators will spawn in Woodland Mansions, Raids, and in Illager Patrol squads. This is good news for players as they are quite the formidable opponent. Luckily, due to the rarity of Woodland Mansions, players will most commonly spot a Vindicator during a village raid.
Behavior
Vindicators are hosile towards the following mobs:
The PlayerVillagersBaby Villagers (Java Edition only)Iron GolemsSnow GolemsWandering Traders
After spotting their next victim, they will very menacingly sprint towards them, unveiling their Iron Axe. (seen above)
During a raid, Vindicators have the ability to open doors and kill any Villager inside. Thus, players are recommended to spend time preparing a village with walls and traps before triggering a raid.
Due to the fact that they hold an Axe, Vindicators will disable the player’s shield which may be a suprise to some. This axe also has a chance to be enchanted, further increasing their already high damage output.
If Vindicators defeat a Village in a raid, they will celebrate and cheer.
