An evoker is a spell-casting illager that can be found in woodland mansions and as part of raids. They are the only source of totems of undying. Evokers use two spells to attack: one that summons armor-piercing fangs and one that summons vexes. This is the only way for vexes to spawn (without using Creative mode or commands).

Evokers spawn during the generation of particular woodland mansion rooms. They only spawn on floor 2 and 3. They do not respawn after their initial spawn.

Evokers spawned with mansions do not naturally despawn (unless the world difficulty is switched to Peaceful).

In Normal and Hard difficulty, evokers can spawn during raids by themselves or riding ravagers.

Evokers spawn during raids starting at wave 5. On Hard difficulty, evokers can also spawn riding a ravager at wave 7. Up to five evokers spawn on Hard difficulty. During these events, they may also spawn as a raid captain.

Up to five evokers spawn during raids, with one evoker spawning during waves five and six, and three evokers spawning during wave seven. One of them rides a ravager during wave seven.

Java Edition:

Bedrock Edition:

• 10XP experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.‌^{[JE only]}
  • In Bedrock Edition, evokers always drop 10XP experience no matter how it dies.
• When an evoker spawns as a raid captain, it always drops its 👁 Image
  ominous banner on death, while equipped.

An evoker moves at the player's sprinting speed, crosses its arms and does not show its hands.

Evokers attack players, adult villagers, iron golems, snow golems,‌^{[BE only]} and wandering traders within 12 blocks by raising and waving both of their arms while looking at their target and summoning magical fangs or vexes, creating different colored particles for the different attacks.

If the player is within a ten block radius and the evoker is not in the middle of summoning an attack, the evoker flees from the player to avoid being attacked.

If an evoker is attacked, all evokers in a twelve block radius become alerted and start attacking the player, even if they are behind walls. In Java Edition, the alerted evokers can attack the player from an infinite distance away, even if the player switches to Creative or Spectator mode^[2]; this can be fixed by relogging the world, or by setting the game rule universalAnger to True. This is only true for the alerted evokers, not the initially attacked evoker.

An evoker is passive to other illagers even if it is harmed. Any evoker can search for and join a patrol if sufficiently near a patrol captain.

In Java Edition, evokers and illusioners are faster without any effects during raids.

In Java Edition, evokers are given three seconds of the Glowing effect if a bell is rung within 32 blocks of them. This applies to both evokers spawned in raids and evokers spawned in woodland mansions.

Evokers flee from creakings when within 8 blocks of them.

The evoker signals this attack by producing purplish-grey particles (👁 EffectSprite particle-evoker-attack.png: Sprite image for particle-evoker-attack in Minecraft
) and a low-pitched sound.

A number of fangs rise out of the ground around the player, then snap shut and vanish. The fangs also produce brown particle effects when they close.

Players or mobs caught in the attack are dealt 6HP👁 ❤️

damage, regardless of difficulty‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}. This harm is not mitigated by armor but is mitigated by enchantments such as Protection. Any evoker-summoned fangs do not deal damage to any illagers, although fangs summoned or spawned by the player do. When a neutral or hostile mob (except illagers and goats) is caught in the attack, the mob retaliates and attacks the evoker.

Fangs appear no lower than the feet of the lowest combatant and no higher than one block above the feet of the highest combatant. Fangs attempt to appear on the highest opaque block between those two extremes, but fail to spawn if they are obstructed by a solid block. In practice, this means that fangs cannot spawn inside deep pits or on top of high walls, but may, for example, go up a staircase if the target is at the top and the evoker at the bottom, or vice versa. Likewise, an evoker floating in a boat on water cannot summon fangs against a player swimming or floating in a boat because there are no opaque blocks from which the fangs can appear.

The evoker typically summons sixteen fangs in a straight line toward the target. However, if the target is within three blocks of the evoker, the evoker summons the fangs in two circles around itself: the smaller circle has five fangs and the larger has eight. The fangs do not seek the player, thus the player is able to dodge them. Summoning fangs resets the evoker's spell cooldown to two seconds and resets the cooldown for summoning fangs to five seconds.

The evoker signals this attack by producing purplish-white particles (👁 EffectSprite particle-evoker-summon.png: Sprite image for particle-evoker-summon in Minecraft
) for two seconds and a higher-pitched sound. After that, three vexes appear nearby. The evoker can summon vexes as long as there are fewer than eight vexes within sixteen blocks centered on the evoker.

This spell resets the evoker's spell cooldown to five seconds and resets the cooldown for summoning vexes to seventeen seconds.

Non-air blocks that obstruct a vex's attempted spawning point will prevent it from spawning, meaning it is possible that a summoning can result in only one or two vexes spawning.^[verify]

In Java Edition, evokers may summon two circle fangs while summoning vexes, without any cooldown. It usually happens when a player melee attacks an evoker while it is summoning vexes.

When an evoker is not engaged in combat, it can change the wool color of any blue sheep within sixteen blocks from blue to red. This is disabled when the mob_griefing game rule in Java Edition is set to false; however, in Bedrock Edition, evokers can still change a sheep's color even when the mobgriefing game rule is set to false.

The evoker signals this spell by producing brownish-orange particles (👁 EffectSprite particle-evoker-wololo.png: Sprite image for particle-evoker-wololo in Minecraft
) and making a "wololo" sound.

This spell resets the evoker's spell cooldown to 3 seconds (60 game ticks) and resets the cooldown for the sheep color conversion spell to 7 seconds (140 game ticks). Evokers look at the sheep they are using the spell on while they are doing the spell until they finish the spell.

Evoker fangs are entities that evokers use to attack the player (or adult villagers, iron golems, snow golems, and wandering traders) with their fang attack.

The individual fangs in an evoker's fang attacks each have a delay. Before the delay is over, the fangs cannot be seen, although unlike truly invisible entities, fangs in warmup still have a visible debug hitbox. After the delay, the fangs expand into existence, snap shut, make critical hit particles and shrink out of sight again, dealing 6HP👁 ❤️

Issues relating to "Evoker" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• The sheep color conversion spell is a reference to the priest units from Age of Empires, where they can turn enemy units into friendly units (changing the unit's color in the process) after making a "wololo" sound.
  • Because Microsoft controls the copyrights for both Age of Empires and Minecraft, Mojang Studios was able to get the actual "wololo" sound effect to use in the conversion sound effect.
• Evokers are referred to as 'evocation illagers' in the code for Bedrock Edition.
• Hitting an evoker in survival mode and converting the gamemode into creative mode still causes the evoker to summon fangs and vexes at the player, although they deal no damage.
• Vex Armor Trim is based on the cloak and eyebrows of the evoker.
• The texture for evokers includes a white hood. Although never used in-game, it ended up used in the book Minecraft: Maps,^[3] as well as an article on Minecraft.net.^[4]
