How to Attract Pillagers in Minecraft

Pillagers are hostile mobs that can be found in Minecraft, often associated with raids and pillager outposts. If you’re looking to attract pillagers for a farm, raid, or other purposes, this article will guide you through the best methods, including the correct spawning mechanics, how to trigger patrols, and tips for attracting them.

What you need to know:

Pillagers are drawn to villages and will typically move towards the nearest villager or iron golem. If you’re not using water, you can place a villager in a specific location to attract the pillagers to that spot. Additionally, using a bell can help draw them in, as pillagers will target the bell during raids. Ensure that the pillagers are within range of the villager or bell to effectively lure them in.

How to Attract Patrols

To attract pillager patrols, follow these steps:

• Distance from Villages:
  Patrols cannot spawn within a 5x5x5 sub-chunk area around a village center. Make sure you’re far enough from any village to allow patrols to spawn.
• Avoid Other Patrols or Outposts:
  Patrols are more likely to spawn when there are no other patrols or pillager outposts nearby.
• Build a Pillager Farm or Spawn Area:
  Consider building your pillager farm in an open area, far from villages, to increase the chances of patrols spawning. Ensure the area has the right light level (7 or lower).

Methods to Attract Pillagers

There are a few effective ways to attract pillagers in Minecraft:

1. Villagers as Pillager Attractants

• Why Villagers?
  In Minecraft, pillagers are drawn to Villagers. By placing a Villager in a secure, confined area, pillagers will be attracted to the Villager to attack them.
• Setting Up the Attraction:
  You can place the Villager in a small, protected area to ensure they’re confined and safe from harm. This will attract the pillagers, allowing you to create a pillager farm or trigger raids. Important Notes:
  • Protect the Villager so they don’t get killed.
  • Ensure the Villager cannot escape.

2. Triggering Raids to Attract Pillagers

• What is a Raid?
  A raid occurs when pillagers attack a village. This is triggered by the player having the Bad Omen effect.
• How to Trigger a Raid?
  To trigger a raid, kill a pillager captain carrying an ominous banner. When you enter a village with the Bad Omen effect, the raid will begin, bringing multiple waves of pillagers to attack the village.
• How to Get a Pillager Captain:
  Pillager captains can be found in patrols. You’ll need to kill the captain and acquire the ominous banner to trigger the Bad Omen effect.

Other Tips for Attracting Pillagers

• Avoid Village Proximity:
  Pillager patrols do not spawn within 5 blocks of a village center. Ensure that you are building your farm or attracting pillagers away from villages for the best results.
• Ensure You’re Playing on Normal or Hard Difficulty:
  Patrols and pillagers spawn based on the game’s difficulty settings. Set your world to at least Normal difficulty to ensure patrols spawn naturally.
• Using Ominous Banners:
  There is some speculation that hanging ominous banners in your base may attract pillager patrols. However, this has not been confirmed and may not be a reliable method for attracting pillagers.
