Enchanters are a “support” illager that help hostile mobs with magic buffs. They are the main inhabitants of the woodland mansion, and will rarely drop heavily enchanted books when killed. They also drop books and experience bottles.

Enchanters care more about reading than you. They’re entirely harmless aside from their support buffs.
History
| 1.6.0 | Beta 2 | Changed | - Enchanters are now much much more threatening
- Rather than giving a random potion effect for a short time (strength, speed, regeneration, or resistance), they instead give full damage immunity, regeneration, and a damage boost.
- This effect is telegraphed via enchanting glyph particles spawning around the mob every second, as well as sounds and particles when you hit the affected mob.
- Enchanter movement speed is now much higher as well, so you’ll struggle to catch them more often
- Enchanters will no longer target non-illager mobs, making it less likely that they waste an enchantment on a random mob lurking outside the mansion
- Enchanters now attempt to enchant mobs more often
