@@Eyecraftmc i have a fact for you :) if you confront evoker or you just run around him so close, he allways summons 3 vexes, i know... Little powerful midgets with high deadly damage, but sometimes, i dont know if its bug or just thing belongs to evoker, but when you are far away from him, he just continue with summoning vexes, you kill 3 vexes and suddenly you see another 6-9 vexes, i saw even 15 vexes, i needed to jump into do water, just dive, because the easiest way to kill vex is dive into the water and vex does one thing, he just fly above you and he want to hit you, but he is still above your head and you can hardly attack him, you have about 3-4 second till he hit you, so i recommend if players do raid farm, use also water, its good protect from vexes, in hardcore mode its very danger situation, i had totem and diamond armor protection IV, but i almost died, suddenly witch gave me poison and i didnt have a milk, so evoker is actually more danger

If you don’t have golems / iron, a pack of wolves works really gr8. I can beat raids without full iron armor if I have a pack of 10+ wolves and a stack of meat to keep em fed and bred. If you don’t have armor, use a bow + wolves combo to kill the evoker mages that drop the totems. Those MF’s are strong and can one shot you with full iron armor.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Great Idea!

[@angryinternetperson6629]

It's kind of a relatively new feature, to be fair.

[@scuffedgravyboat]

you know the best part of this? I, as a 23 year old guy, found myself in a raid while my 8 year old little cousin was watching me play. It was my first time that ever happened as I just starting playing minecraft for the first time a little while ago. I didn’t know what was happening but he guided me through the entire thing to where I successfully defended the village and completed the raid, all thanks to his guidance.

[@ImpatientPlatypus]

I’m 13 and playing with my 8 year old brother, and it’s pretty much the same thing for me lol. I haven’t played since I was his age and he’s guiding me through all the new mechanics and everything, I’m just the builder 😂

[@Regiultima]

A lava bucket is another effective method for dealing with Ravagers. It slows them down and makes them very easy to shoot with a bow on top of lava damage, provided you don’t need/want the Saddle that drops.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Lava can definitely be a good way to deal with raids, although there is always the danger of walking into it

[@ryanrexer]

I like water buckets more for them, ravangers in bedrock swim so slow it doesn’t really matter which liquid it’s in.

[@jmorr1780]

Thank you for always mentioning the differences between bedrock and Java

[@Eyecraftmc]

No problem!

[@keithlangevin6149]

Another fun defensive strategy is making dense areas of bamboo in the areas where they're most likely to come. They tend to get stuck in the bamboo and easy to pick off and it slows them down. And as a bonus the bamboo looks nice too

[@ozrithclay6921]

Pro tip for the Ravengers Crossbow with Quick draw 3 and Multishot firing slowness(0;11) works amazing to control them and also for basic riot control. Slowness 4(0;02) arrows work well with Piercing crossbows too and that's my general purpose carry bow.

[@333dae]

Another pro tip: keep a pack of wolf and aggro them on a Ravager, they'll do the work for you

[@jackxiang3844]

or you could just use maximum damage rockets and take out most of them

[@funplayer05.1]

I hate the fireworks effect after the raid, because if you have them trapped theyll set off fireworks indoors and kill themselves

[@superbee617]

Yup. I lost 2 fully mastered librarians, one with my mending trade because of this. I was stumped at first but then realized what’d happened and was salty lol

[@jchoneandonly]

Also, it's possible to trigger two raids in adjacent villages. It'll confuse the game and probably murder your base village when you're fighting the raid at your villager breeder but it's possible

[@JustBebyLol]

Lmao i can just imagine “OH SHIT” “SIR HE DRANK MILK” “QUIT THE MISSION HE DRANK MILK”

[@jakeplayzrandomstuff4738]

Thanks! Also, unrelated, I had some ideas for how raids could be better, just to share ideas: -What if Milk didn’t get rid of Bad Omen. I know! That would make things harder! But it would also be more realistic. The Pillagers won’t stop hating you because you drank a pail of milk. It would also enforce voluntary exile: you’d want to stay away from a village for some in-game days. -There was different tier raids. If you kill a Pillager Captain in a patrol, that’s a tier one raid (normal). If you kill one in an outpost, that’s tier 2, which means that a couple extra enemies will appear regardless of the raid difficulty level. -Illusioners should be in Mansions. -If pillagers win, the next time a player steps out of sight of the village it changes. When they come back in sight, the illagers will be gone, and the village will be fully looted and on fire. All beds and villagers, chest items, crops, gone. Just ransacked and in flames, with Illager flags here and there. -Vinidcators can break doors like Zombies. Pillager arrows can eventually break windows after a few shots. And ravagers can break more solid blocks.

[@Intrafacial86]

It's too bad Vindicators named "Johnny" have limited hostilities. I'd love to just run around during a raid tagging Vindicators and watching them slaughter their own dudes lol

[@Eyecraftmc]

[@lexzeyfercronus]

Last night,a friend accidentally activated a raid...inside our base 🤣,it was chaotic but fun since it was our fist raid,so this video saved us from accidentally activating another raid since we had no idea milk removes the bad omen effect. Happy to say that we won the raid and saved Esclovian and Esclovania,our 2 frost~mending librarian russian refugees.

You forgot two more things and that's if you want a village as your base/small kingdom. Build a wall and a ditch to slow the enemy down

[@Rob_The_Zombie]

If you can plan ahead I always build a wall around the village it works like a charm

[@maskerungu4203]

thanks for the video gives more new info about the Raid event 👏 when I do raids, I always using a lot of boats, it catches every Raid Mobs, yes Vex and Ravager too

[@a_lonely_guitarist3359]

new funny meme unlocked: ravager in a *b o a t*

[@BVasquezp]

Wall up your village! A stone wall 2 blocks tall is enough to stop everything in a raid, ravagers included. Make sure you place it close to the buildings so the raid doesnt spawn inside. This way the illagers group up against the walls alowing golems to crush them and you to decimate them with a piercing or rocket crossbow.

[@l0remipsum991]

Get lots of wood, craft lots of trapdoors, make trapdoor "fences". It will trap those raiders good.

[@XGplays]

a vex is probably the hardest mob to kill in the game including the with and ender dragon cause how small it is so its hard to hit and it does a ton of damage and it can go through walls so the only way to get away is with elytra

[@a_lonely_guitarist3359]

@why Cheats on: *General Kenobi*

I actually defeated a raid while on horseback. It's much more easier to evade and dodge arrow attacks. It can also outrun a ravager. Just make sure you pick the horse that has the fastest run speed

Best minecraft youtuber. Love your vids keep up the good work

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thank you! I definitely will :)

[@neelamsaba3534]

A good way to deal with ravagers is that keep going back with S key while doing sweep attacks,this works with golems too

[@insquared1868]

2 good strats worked for me at defeating lvl5 raids for both you need first hide every villager in a closed space without doors, a 90° L shaped hallway to a closed box will work. Instead of doors, dig 3 blocks down where you would place a door and put 3 carpets on top of each other. Mobs, including villagers and raiders, will see it as a hole and will avoid walking through it. now the strats 1: very easy, drop hella lot of boats across the village, many raiders will get stuck thus making them easy targets. 2: dig some larger holes around a small area, 3 blocks deep, put trapdoors across the edge and open them, you can put either lava or campfires down the holes. it makes killing ravahers and lots of vindicators easy with sweeping edge when they fall down one hole and group up.

[@Primson_]

[@a_lonely_guitarist3359]

try breeding librarians, I did that and I got a fucking book of infinity, like, dude, trading is a lot more op than you think

[@costapopolis]

I found the easiest way to fight a raid is with a bow on horseback. You don’t slow down when drawing the bow if your on horseback.

[@michaelr3077]

If you cant be bothered to get a bucket of milk to remove the bad omen you can alternatively put the captain in a pit and suffocate him with sand or gravel and avoid the omen all together and still kill them.

You could wait for the vexes to fly down to the ground by luring and quickly backing up. After that quickly get as many hits as you can

[@BuddyPlot]

Making a nether portal in the middle of a village apparently counts and is a broken strategy. Just make them chase you and they'll accidentally teleport into the nether, counting as death. Then after the raid, you should have plenty of time to get mob loots

[@JaredMerlin]

Personally, I like to use Golems when I attack the Illagers tower and when they raid villages. The Golems not only kill the Illagers but the witches and that Rhino thing. I get a kick outta watching witches fly and die.

[@ozelhassan8576]

Hi. This was a really really good video but a question has arisen: all that you mentioned is for Java correct? Because I play bedrock version and I had a raid in the village I locked up all the villagers inside their homes for protection but when I won the battle the villagers launched their fireworks inside their homes which then killed them, well most of them anyway. This battle was a while ago so I don’t know if Mojang have patched this mistake/error. Excellent video.

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

I recall building a wall around my village in the early days of the pillagers.

[@tdstewartconstructionltd4071]

I would suggest that you eliminate the ravager first then the the rider that was on top 11:40

[@Asertix357]

So question time. When I found my first village I mined and built a _massive_ cobblestone wall, at least 5 blocks high with a 1 block overhang to keep out wandering mobs like spiders and such, at least 10 blocks away from any building. Is this strong enough to keep a pillager attack from getting inside the village and just leave them trapped outside where they can't do anything? Can they break through the wall and gain entry?

[@tobiasm3911]

Nice asmr voice, and incredibly clear informative video, thx

[@detroxlp1]

The ultimate guide is: go to a big village with multiple Iron golems and camp on top of a church. The golems do everything and you can just watch them.
