Vindicator

• Vindicators were added to Minecraft in version 1.11 (snapshot 16w39a). Since the snapshot 16w40a, the axes of the vindicators have ceased to be just a visual effect and now really cause additional damage and disable the player's shield for 5 seconds, and the vindicators themselves have been significantly strengthened.
• Since version 1.14 (snapshot 18w43a), the texture of the vindicators has been changed, and since snapshot 18b45a they can be part of patrols. From the snapshot 18b47a, the vindicators will spawn during raids and "learned" how to break down doors. From snapshot 19b05a, the vindicators are hostile towards itinerant merchants. From the snapshot 19b13a, the vindicators celebrate the victory, laughing and raising their hands up.
• In version 1.19, the texture of the vindicators has been changed again in snapshot 22b17a.

The Vindicator is a hostile mob with 24 health units (12 hearts on the health scale). The height of his hitbox is 1.95 blocks, and the width is 0.6 blocks.

In inactivity, the vindicator keeps his hands crossed with a laid axe. Attacking, the vindicator brandishes an axe. If he does not have an axe, he raises both hands up during the attack.

A vindicator with the tag Johnny starts attacking all mobs in the game, evokers, pillagers, other vindicators, zoglins and ghasts.

The strength of the vindicator's attack depends on the difficulty of the game and whether he is armed:
Armed Vindicator:

• Easy difficulty of the game: 7.5 (3.75 hearts)
• Normal difficulty of the game: 13 (6.5 hearts)
• Hardcore: 19.5 (9.75 hearts)

Unarmed vindicator:

• Easy difficulty of the game: 3.5 (1.75 hearts)
• Normal game difficulty: 5 (2.5 hearts)
• Hardcore: 7.5 (3.75 hearts)

The vindicators appear in numbers 1-3 in the forest mansion, sometimes together with the caster. Most often they are located in certain rooms of the mansion, but they can also go out into the corridors. Sometimes the vindicators themselves do not show aggression to the player, but begin to attack only after the player attacks them.

• On the normal difficulty of the game and on the difficulty of "Hardcore", the vindicators sometimes spawn with an iron axe, on which random enchantments are imposed.
• The vindicator's axe can break, as can the robber's crossbows.
• The ringing of the bell gives the vindicators a glowing effect for three seconds.
• The vindicator's axe attack neutralizes the player's shield for 5 seconds, even when he is riding
