Overview

The Purple Lock Vindicator is a heavily armored, fireproof samurai Vindicator with enormous health and aggressive hunting behavior. It can pursue creatures and players from a long distance, break through doors, trigger ominous chat messages, and become enraged after taking enough damage.

It is a dangerous combat encounter rather than a normal passive mob. Keep it away from valuable builds and beds unless you want to trigger its base-raiding behavior.

What It Adds

Purple Lock Vindicator

The Vindicator can:

• Hunt almost any nearby entity it can target.
• Move through water and pass through doors.
• Break doors on Normal difficulty and higher.
• Join raids and appear as a raid or patrol captain.
• Pick up suitable items.
• Avoid creakings.
• Drop powerful custom equipment when defeated.

How To Use

Natural Spawning

Purple Lock Vindicators can spawn naturally:

• On the Overworld surface.
• In dark areas with brightness from 0 through 7.
• Singly rather than in herds.

They can also be spawned through the Creative inventory or with the summon command in the Quickstart section.

Interacting

Right-click or use the interact button on the Vindicator to provoke a response:

Purple Lock Vindicator: Touch the lock and face your fate!

This interaction does not open a trading or inventory screen.

Naming It Johnny

Give the Vindicator a name tag named Johnny. This activates an additional Johnny-style hunt for nearby non-illager creatures. The mob remains hostile and continues to be a dangerous target.

Commanding Every Purple Lock Vindicator

Use the following script event command:

/scriptevent com_purple_lock_vindicator_hvrz7iav:hostile_mobs <command>

Available commands:

The command is enabled by default. When it is disabled, newly spawned Purple Lock Vindicators are also ordered to stand down.

A stood-down Vindicator can still defend itself if attacked.

Abilities And Mechanics

Purple Lock Chain Spike Whip

The Purple Lock Chain Spike Whip is a hand-equipped melee weapon.

• Damage: 8
• Durability: 384
• May receive a random enchantment when obtained as Vindicator equipment.

Give yourself one with:

/give @s com_purple_lock_vindicator_hvrz7iav:chain_whip 1

Kick Action

The Kick Action is a melee weapon that adds a powerful kick whenever you hit an entity.

Each successful hit:

• Applies additional damage.
• Throws the target backward.
• Creates a small crimson shockwave at the point of impact.

Give yourself one with:

/give @s com_purple_lock_vindicator_hvrz7iav:kick_action 1

Shatter Spin Totem

Use the Shatter Spin Totem to release a crimson shockwave around yourself.

• Range: 6 blocks
• Damage: 10 damage, or 5 hearts
• Knockback: Strong horizontal knockback with upward lift
• Cooldown: 4 seconds
• Affects other players in the same dimension
• Displays a red shockwave effect

Trying to use it during its cooldown displays the remaining recharge time.

Give yourself one with:

/give @s com_purple_lock_vindicator_hvrz7iav:shatter_spin_totem 1

Crimson Rage

The Vindicator tracks the damage it receives. After taking 100 damage, equal to 50 hearts, it becomes permanently enraged until it dies.

When enraged:

• Crimson particles continuously surround it.
• Players within about 5.5 blocks are periodically hit.
• Nearby players take 8 damage, or 4 hearts.
• Players are knocked backward.
• The chat announces the enraged punch-and-kick attack.

When the rage awakens, the world displays:

Purple Lock Vindicator has taken 50 hearts of damage! Its crimson rage has awakened.

Bed-Based Base Raids

A Purple Lock Vindicator remembers players who come within 64 blocks of it. If one of those players interacts with a bed in the same dimension, the Vindicator marks that player as a raid target.

It can then:

• Follow the target across dimensions.
• Teleport closer if the target gets too far away.
• Blast into the target's base when it gets within range.
• Create an explosion centered on the player.
• Break blocks with the explosion, but does not create fire.

The Vindicator announces the attack with:

The Purple Lock Vindicator has blasted into your base!

There is a short cooldown between base blasts. Interacting with a bed again can trigger another pursuit.

Ominous Chat Messages

The Vindicator can send messages when:

• It acquires a target:

  Purple Lock Vindicator: The lock has chosen its target!

• A player interacts with it:

  Purple Lock Vindicator: Touch the lock and face your fate!

• It reaches its rage threshold.
• It attacks while enraged.
• A player interacts with a bed after being noticed.

Progression And Strategy

• Do not rely on fire or lava. The Vindicator is completely fireproof.
• Fight away from your base. A bed can cause it to pursue you and blast into your defenses.
• Use an open arena. It can navigate over water and break doors on Normal difficulty and higher.
• Keep your distance before rage. Its normal target range is up to 64 blocks, and its melee attack deals 8 hearts.
• Avoid staying close after rage begins. The enraged area attack repeatedly damages and knocks back nearby players.
• Use Kick Action for spacing. Its knockback helps interrupt a close-range attack.
• Use Shatter Spin against groups of players. The totem is useful for clearing space, but remember its short range and cooldown.
• Use off while preparing a testing area. Turn the command back on with on or use rally when you are ready to unleash the hunt.
• Bring Looting when farming drops. It improves several chance-based rewards.
