 - Pillagers and vindicators no longer spawn without their much-needed weapons.
 - Piglins, piglin brutes, and hoglins no longer zombify. This fixes a bug where the mobs would despawn due to the zombification process.
 - Zombies, husks, drowned, zombie villagers, piglins, hoglins, and zoglins without the `baby` prefix are now forced into adulthood to prevent them from occasionally spawning as babies.
+- Evokers are once again capable of spawning vexes on 1.18.1+.
 - Reward groups with `nothing` in them no longer cause errors when earned/granted.
 - The title-based announcer and the title-based boss health bar have been fixed to work with the breaking change to the Title API in Spigot 1.17.
 - Arena Signs now correctly update for arenas that don't have `kebab-case` names in the config-file.
