Fight smarter enemies, find powerful loot, and discover secret places. New challenges mean new rewards—and lots of fun along the way!

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Huge thanks to Dricky who originally created the amazing Illager Expansion mod. Illager Invasion is a faithful continuation of their work, with many additions, improvements, overhauls, and bug fixes.

🌟 Thanks to ZekeSmith who found the original Illager Expansion source code after it was deleted by Dricky, making this port possible under the terms of the MIT license.

🌟 Thanks to safrodev for working on the 1.19.2 version of Illager Expansion, the Horn of Sight texture is taken from there.

🌟 Thanks to Tamlighter for creating many amazing new textures.

🌟 Thanks to cowsha for helping out with some in-game structures and asset designs.
