A ravager is a large hostile mob that only spawns alongside illagers in raids. It attacks players, adult villagers, wandering traders and iron golems by charging, biting, and roaring at them. A ravager can also get stunned when blocked by a shield.

Spawning

Raids

Ravagers spawn starting at wave 3 as part of a raid.

Java Edition

Unridden ravagers spawn at wave 3, a ravager ridden by a pillager spawns at wave 5, and two ravagers - one ridden by a vindicator and one by an evoker - spawn at wave 7. If the raid has an extra wave, another ravager or two can spawn at it as well.

Bedrock Edition

Up to 5 ravagers spawn as part of a raid. Unridden ravagers spawn at waves 3 and 5, a ravager ridden by a pillager spawns at waves 5 and 7, and a ravager ridden by an evoker spawns at wave 7.

Ravagers can be summoned with riders by using spawn event commands: /summon ravager ~ ~ ~ minecraft:spawn_with_pillager_rider.

Drops

On death

Item		Roll Chance	Quantity (Roll Chance)
			Default	Looting I	Looting II	Looting III
	Saddle	100%	1	1	1	1

A ravager drops 20XP experience points when killed by a player or a tamed wolf.

Behavior

Ravagers are hostile toward players, iron golems, adult villagers and wandering traders within a 32-block radius. They attack by ramming enemies with their head, dealing a knockback of 5 blocks. Ravagers also attack by opening and closing their mouths, similar to biting their target. In Bedrock Edition, ravagers may occasionally miss players when trying to attack, unlike other mobs. Backing away causes ravagers to miss.

When a ravager sees a villager and an iron golem at the same time, it always prioritizes the villager, unless it is already fighting the iron golem.

A ravager can also destroy some types of block by charging into them. In Java Edition, ravagers can break all leaves and only some crops. In Bedrock Edition, the ravager can break all leaves, most crops, including most plants and mushrooms, and turtle eggs.

Although ravagers have a large version of the saddle as part of their texture, they do not actually wear one, and they cannot be ridden by the player. Ravagers can only spawn in raids, sometimes with a pillager, evoker, or vindicator‌ riding them; however, another mob can be allowed to ride a ravager using the /ride command.

In Bedrock Edition ravagers have delayed hits (hit_delay_pct: 0.5). When set to 0.0, ravager hits wouldn't be delayed to match Java Edition.

When its bite attack is blocked by a shield, no damage is dealt and knockback is halved. A ravager also has a 50% chance to become stunned and unable to move or attack for 2 seconds. After this period, it opens its mouth and roars, dealing 6HP damage and a knockback of 5 blocks to nearby entities. The roar knocks back nearby illagers without damaging them and has no effect on other ravagers (note that vexes and witches are not treated as illagers and take both damage and knockback). Illagers knocked back by a ravager's roar can still take fall damage.

Ravagers do not attack pillagers who shoot at them by accident, and do not attack evokers when evoker fangs accidentally hit them. When a vindicator riding a ravager has been named "Johnny" it may attack the ravager while it is riding it, but the ravager does not attack the vindicator for any reason. When a ravager gets shot by a mob that battles with a projectile while it is attacking the player, the ravager first attempts to kill who shot it, then goes back to attacking the player once the deed is done. Any mob that doesn't battle with projectiles requires a ravagers to roar in order to aggro on it.

In Java Edition, a ravager who gets attacked by a mob (excluding illagers or goats) or player alerts other ravagers to target the attacker unless the ravager was killed in one hit.

Ravagers take 75% less of knockback, but they still float in water. A ravager being ridden dismounts its rider if it moves into water two blocks deep. Riders cannot mount ravagers again after being dismounted.

In Java Edition, any ravager can join a patrol if sufficiently near a raid captain.

In Java Edition, ravagers can sometimes target and damage themselves. If a vindicator that spawns as part of a patrol, or as a raid captain during a raid, or has its Patrolling tag set to 1b through commands, is named "Johnny" with a name tag, the vindicator targets ravagers in addition to other mobs. The targeted ravager targets and damages itself if the ravager does not have another target and is within the vindicator's follow range. Other illagers, witches, and ravagers also target the ravager. The ravager can kill itself without any other mob damaging it.

Sounds

Java Edition:
Ravagers use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Trivia

• When the ravager was first revealed at MINECON Earth 2018, it had the placeholder name of "illager beast", and kept this name for multiple snapshots and betas as Mojang listened for name suggestions from the community. In Java Edition 19w05a and Bedrock Edition beta 1.11.0.1, illager beasts were named ravagers, although "behemoth" was also considered.
• Ravagers were mainly inspired by the manticore, particularly the version from Dungeons & Dragons.
• Ravagers have a vaguely bovine appearance, and are jokingly described as "a spicy cow" on the Minecraft.net page. However, they cannot be milked.
• Several ravager sounds are altered versions of the sounds of other mobs:
  • The first and third ravager death sounds ( and ) are versions of the first pillager death sound () but lower pitched.
  • The fourth ambient ravager sound () is the third evoker ambient sound () but lower pitched.
  • The fifth ambient ravager sound () is the third villager "trade denial" sound () but lower pitched.
  • The third stunned ravager sound () is the first zombie villager ambient sound () but slightly edited.
