By typing in the command: /summon minecraft:illusioner in the Java Edition, you will be able to spawn in the Illusioner. As a Hostile Mob, it will behave aggressively towards the player when in Survival mode. Beware of its attacks!

When Will The Illusioner Be Added?

Currently Unknown

The Illusioner has been in the game's files since the 1.12 update. It remains to be seen if nor when the Illusioner will be implemented in the game as a naturally spawning mob.
