What is it ?

It is a mod adding a new ranged illager to the mix, which is both found in raids as well as in its own structure .

What does it offer ?

A new illager-type fighter mob, which is both found in raids as well as in its own cabin hidden away in certain forest-ish biomes.
This mob is pretty simple and straightforward : this is an illager with decent health which attacks from far using medieval ranged weaponry ( dual-wielding crossbow goes brr ) ; the weapon in question can vary and a custom boomerang was also added to this list of possibilities at some point. Where this mob shines however is in its custom ability, as it will attack passive animals and eat their meat in order to heal just like the player does, making it an interesting foe to come across and giving it its own role in raids as the animal-pen cleaner.

This new mob also has great animations in its 1.20.1 iteration.

In conclusion

This new illager is quite interesting, and still has its place in the grand scheme of illager-adding mods, even after all those years.
Besides, I always like it when a mod/game adds creatures which make use or showcase abilities that the player can exploit or acquire for themselves at some point, they can act as a form of tutorial even.

Description

Hunter's Return (formerly hunterillager mod)

Add the evil Hunter mob! They hunt wild animals while making a cheeky laugh…

Hunter Sleep

This mod adds a new mob, the Hunter Illager! They spawn in a new structure so keep an eye out for it! This mod doesn't only add the hunter though… (Forge version needs Bagus Lib for 10.0.1 or above!)

  • Features

Hunter Illager

These little menacing dudes live in a wooden hut that spawns in forested biomes. If he spots a player or animal, he will attack them with a bow n' arrow! When he successfully corners his enemy, he will creepily laugh…

After being sufficiently damaged, Hunters will eat food to replenish their health.

The boomerang is the Hunter's secondary weapon, which can also be crafted by the player. It can be enchanted with Bounce to become more bouncy when striking walls.

Also Hunter Love to use Mini Crossbow… Having mini crossbows on both sides will make it easier to load arrows and unleash a barrage of arrows on enemies at once.

The mini crossbow has low firepower, but it's an easy-to-use weapon for people who move around a lot.

Warning: backport and fabric port not planned also do not ask a port
