Most of the illager mobs can be found in a raid, in addition to a new kind of mob exclusive to raids that packs a mighty punch. Raids also introduce other enemies besides the tarditional pillager and the odd vindicator. This positive effect is called Hero of the Village, and for some will be the biggest motivation for taking on the raids.ĭepending on your difficulty level, raids will either have 3, 5, or 7 waves with varying numbers of enemies. That's right! If you ward off a raid from a village, you're rewarded by seeing reduced prices for a limited time in a village. If you're adequately prepared and have dutifully defended (pardon the alliterations) your humble village, raids can not only lead to a hefty bounty of experience points and other loot from the pillagers but also decrease trade prices in the village. You might be asking yourself why anyone would ever desire to summon a raid on a hapless village, but these raids are invincible armies of god-like creatures.

What's more, the Bad Omen effect can stack up to 6 times with each successive pillager captain you defeat, with each level increasing the difficulty by giving more enemies enchanted weapons for their village assault. Once the pillager captain falls, you receive the Bad Omen effect for 60 minutes, during which any village is in danger if you approach it. How do you get the Bad Omen effect? Simple: defeat a pillager captain in combat. Which brings us to the final way to encounter pillagers. If you successfully defeat the pillager captain, two things will happen: the pillager captain will drop the grey banner that you can use as a decoration you will receive the Bad Omen effect, which is a negative effect that comes into play whenever you enter a village. Rather, focus on getting inside, where close quarters render crossbows ineffective.Īll outposts will also have a pillager captain, and sometimes as many as 3, which is a unique pillager variant that carries a dark grey banner on its back. Don't get caught in a battle outside where multiple pillagers can corner you with their crossbows. If you choose to conquer an outpost, a methodical approach is preferred. However, outposts can contain chests with valuable loot in them, including:

Or you can avoid these outposts if you want, and nothing will really come of it.

Free these iron golems, and they will aid you in taking down the pillager outpost. Other structures may generate around a pillager outpost, including dark oak cages that sometimes contain captive iron golems. Pillagers can spawn in a radius around these outposts and will attack any threat that comes within their perimeter. These outposts are towers constructed primarily of dark oak and cobblestone, giving them an ominous appearance. Outposts are pillager-specific structures that typically spawn just out of eyesight of a village, but never in or immediately around them.
