The '''vex''' is a small flying [[hostile mob]] that wields an [[iron sword]] and is summoned by [[evoker]]s. It attacks by lunging at its target with its sword and is capable of phasing through walls. It is considered a negative counterpart to the [[allay]].
== Spawning ==
The vex only spawns as part of an [[evoker]]'s summoning attack. While summoning, the evoker is surrounded by white [[particles]] and makes a magical, horn-like sound. Then, a group of three vexes appears near the evoker. The evoker can summon additional vexes even if some still remain alive from the last summoning.
== Drops ==
{{IN|java}}, the vex's [[iron sword]] does not drop, because its main hand's {{cd|HandDropChances}} is {{cd|0}}. This is not affected by the Looting enchantment.
{{IN|BE}}, the vex can drop its iron sword with random durability{{info needed|Chance?}}. This is not affected by the Looting enchantment.
{{xp|5}} is dropped when a vex is killed by a player or tamed [[wolf]].
== Behavior ==
Vexes attack players, adult [[villager]]s, [[iron golem]]s, and [[wandering trader]]s if an [[evoker]] summoned them, and any other target as commanded by their summoning evoker (any mob that attacks the evoker accidentally or purposefully, or any mob that illagers naturally attack on sight). They still attack these mobs even when they do not have a weapon, and they deal the same damage. If it has no weapons, a mainhand-unarmed vex raises both of its hands when attacking; an unarmed vex can be spawned with this command {{cmd|/summon vex ~ ~ ~ {} }}. Vexes summoned by a [[monster spawner]], [[spawn egg]], or by the {{cmd|summon}} command don't attack players unless provoked.
If any mob attacks a vex, any vexes in the area become hostile toward it. This includes "Johnny" [[vindicator]]s that attack them, despite both being allied with the illagers.
Vexes are capable of flying through the air and can freely pass through any block, including [[water]] and [[lava]], without taking damage. Vexes can pass through [[bedrock]], meaning it is possible for them to die in the [[void]]. While vexes can pass through blocks easily, honey blocks seem to slow them down. Vexes also can be bounced back when pushed by a slime block.
While attacking, vexes glow red and lunge at their target. They often fly toward the back of their targets and attack from behind, making it difficult to block their attacks with a [[shield]].
Vexes do not count toward the [[bossbar]] during a [[raid]] as they are not considered as raiders by the game. Thus, when a raid is won by the player, some vexes might still be alive and keep attacking the player and villagers.
Vexes summoned by an evoker start taking damage after 30 to 119 seconds and eventually die.{{only|java}} Vexes summoned by a [[monster spawner]], [[spawn egg]], or by the {{cmd|summon}} command do not take damage this way.
A vex does not despawn if it has a custom name or if it is in a block, minecart, or boat. However, it still dies naturally after 30 to 119 seconds, making trapping them without them dying very difficult.
When idle, vexes wander within a 15×11×15 cuboid range centered on their evoker's position, unless summoned by a spawn egg or by the {{cmd|summon}} command. This happens when the vexes killed the mob that their evoker commanded them to.
== Sounds ==

== Trivia ==
* Despite their ghostly appearances and their ability to phase through walls, vexes are not [[undead]] [[mob]]s.
* According to JAPPA, the retexturing and remodeling of vexes was a long time in the making due to being requested so much.<ref>{{tweet|JasperBoerstra|1590379143879069697|The Vex model change was requested so much, we planned it a long time ago but could never say anything about it!
