Vindicator Spawn Egg
Vindicator Spawn Egg instantly summons a vindicator — the axe-wielding illager from woodland mansions and raids — wherever you right-click in Creative mode.
Description
Right-clicking a surface with Vindicator Spawn Egg places a hostile vindicator that charges nearby players with an iron axe, dealing some of the highest melee damage of any illager. Map-makers use Vindicator Spawn Egg to populate woodland-mansion recreations, custom raid arenas, and adventure-map ambushes, and the egg also fires from a dispenser for trap-based redstone builds. Naming a spawned vindicator 'Johnny' makes it attack almost every other mob — a hidden behavior useful for chaotic mob-arena setups.
