Hostility Level (Hostile)

A ravager is a hostile mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and ravagers. Because a ravager is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

In Minecraft, a ravager has 50 hearts heart for health. This gives a ravager 100 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a ravager, you need to inflict 100 points of damage to the ravager.

Where to Find Ravagers

Illager beasts can be found in the Overworld usually near villages where they will attack villagers and iron golems.

If you are having trouble finding a ravager, you can summon a ravager using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
