With so many hostile illager mobs in Minecraft: Dungeons, it's worth taking a little time to recognize each and develop strategies when fighting them to avoid any unforeseen trouble.

A mob serving a support role with other hostile mobs, enchanters can use their abilities to buff their allies and make them stronger. They appear similar to evokers, sporting dark red robes with gold trim. They also possess turbans with a diamond at their center and smaller ones placed on their shoulders. Their outfit is complete with a cape lined with gold and a large tome to activate their enchantments.


Minecraft: How enchanters behave on the battlefield and where they can be found

Compared to most hostile mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, enchanters only really have two behaviors. They either enchant their allies or can perform a light basic attack if they are within melee range of a hero. By linking with nearby mobs up to a maximum of two, enchanters can buff the stats of other hostile mobs. The mobs must be alive and within range of the linking magic, which can be seen by its purple color emanating from the enchanter. If the enchanter is killed, its spell ends immediately, and the hostile mobs it is buffing revert to their normal state.

If an enchanter is cornered or approached closely in melee range by a Minecraft Dungeons hero, it may attempt to slam its book onto the hero with a melee attack. As a spellcaster, enchanters don't spend much time working on their physical prowess, and the melee-based basic attack deals a paltry amount of damage compared to other hostile mobs. This is in line with most spellcaster mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, as they serve ranged damage and support roles.
