How to Summon an Illusioner – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon an illusioner with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
You can summon an illusioner 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 illusioner using the /summon command is:
/summon illusioner [pos] [nbt]
In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.12, the syntax to summon an illusioner is:
/summon illusion_illager [x] [y] [z] [dataTag]
Definitions
- x y z or pos is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the illusioner should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the illusioner 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 illusioner such as {NoAI:1} or {Health:32.0f}. See NBT tags for illusioner.
