Minecraft wiki entry for Villager, associated text: Illagers are hostile villager-like mobs that spawn in woodland mansions as well as pillager outposts, illager patrols, or raids. The varieties of illagers are vindicators, evokers, pillagers, and illusioners‌[Java Edition only] (which can be summoned only by using commands), along with two associated mobs: vexes and ravagers. The ravager is considered an illager in Bedrock Edition, but not in Java Edition, which means that vindicators named "Johnny" attack ravagers in Java Edition. Illagers are considered to be outcasts from villages, meaning they were once villagers, but turned evil, so the villagers kicked them out forever, leaving them the hatred of villagers[6]. In addition to attacking players, they also attack villagers, wandering traders, and iron golems. They do not go seeking for villagers, and never naturally come to villages, except during raids and patrols. In Bedrock Edition, sometimes a pillager outpost can generate on the border of a village, leading to altercations if any villager or iron golem goes near the outpost.
