How to Summon an Evoker – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon an evoker with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
You can summon an evoker whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.
Let’s explore how to do this.
Requirements
To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.
Summon Command
Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)
In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the syntax to summon an evoker using the /summon command is:

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11 and 1.12, the syntax to summon an evoker is:
/summon evocation_illager [x] [y] [z] [dataTag]
Definitions
- x y z or pos is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the evoker should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the evoker will spawn in the current location.
- nbt or dataTag is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the evoker such as {NoAI:1}. See NBT tags for evoker.

- For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button at the top of the screen.
- For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
- For PS4, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command
In this example, we are going to summon an evoker in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:
/summon evoker
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the evoker will spawn and appear in your world:
You will see the message “Summoned new Evoker” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the evoker has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.
