I Built a Raid-Proof Village!

[@eddasong6812]

I might actually incorporate trapdoors in my village wall to purposefully funnel the pillagers during a raid. Thanks for the idea!

[@RandomNoNamePT]

Put water on each corner (or wherever you need it) inside the holes and make sure it doesn't go into the deepr (Farm) part, that helps out a ton

[@Marialla.]

Speaking of funnel, try making a wall with a small inlet area. Raiders will circle the village trying to get as close to the center as they can. When they find the inlet, even if it's fully walled off, they will tend to stay there. It makes finding/killing them a lot easier, even if you don't make a pit trap or something.

One simple question I think still needs answering: how big can you make the village before the raiders start spawning within the walls ?

[@gunslinger_844]

Yes i would also like to know this

[@FullMetalZergling]

If you place the beds right and have them all manned by villagers than the raiders should never spawn within the walls. I can't link the wiki else youtube will delete the comment, but go there and see the exact calculations. In a nutshell minecraft defines a village border based on the location of claimed beds, and since the raiders will always spawn a certain number of blocks outside a village border, they should never spawn within the walls if you do everything right.

[@Anurag_Shukla]

And if they do spawn inside your Village, then it simply means your game hates you.

[@striker8961]

In my experience raids spawn like 100 blocks away on the other end of the village to where you are. Every. Single. Time. But that is probably an in game value that can be looked up.

In medieval times most castles had a moat, most of us are familiar with the water filled moat but actually a lot of them where dry moats where very thorny plants and bushes where allowed or even encouraged to grow. Even when being a dry moat being lower in the land those moats usually where a bit muddy so the plants where green and thus hard to burn. Apart from being very uncomfortable things like chainmail really liked to get stuck in the bushes, and when people are firing arrows and crossbow bolts at you it’s gonna be a very bad time… In Minecraft you can re-create that with those berries that hurt. Mobs usually don’t want to cross them. Trapdoors also give you the opportunity to make a sort of drawbridge. In my castle i have a m*rderhole(yes that’s how they are called) above my doorway, and if something not nice is standing outside i can (apart from shooting at them or dropping things on them) just open up those trapdoors so mobs can’t approach the door or regret standing in front of my door. What surprises are underneath the trapdoor is up to you. When digging moats u usually end up with a lot of dirt so I really like to basically raise the land inside the castle(sort of like a Motte and Bailey castle) at a certain height mobs don’t even notice you anymore.

You only need one villager for a raid to spawn, so a bell isn't needed. However a bell still is nice to have since if you ring it you can see where nearby raid mobs are.

[@lgjm5562]

Walls only need to be 3 high to stop pillagers. In fact, taller helps them hide from defenders. If you have a NPC mod like guards or companion then it's fun to make funnel patterns for kill zones.

[@Andrewtr6]

The build looks great. What's annoying about Minecraft is that it doesn't matter how big you build a wall as long as it's at least a block and a half tall. This makes raids super easy to cheese. Other games solve this problem by allowing enemies to destroy walls and player-built structures. Recently, I've been playing the game Valheim which also has raids. The enemies in these raids are able to destroy structures. Trolls are the most destructive early game. Of course, there are ways to cheese raids completely, but it still puts more stress on base defense. I think Minecraft can learn a lot from Valheim (and vice versa). IMO the perfect survival sandbox game would be a mash-up of both games. Valheim is a very fun game. Would love to see you try it out. I will say it doesn't have the same flexibility with building as Minecraft.

[@kjj26k]

Valheim is easier to build nice looking structures, especially at actual player character scale, something Minecraft really struggle with. However, in Valheim on survival, the best and most functional building with the most options is locked behind many dozens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay. I very much agree that the best possible survival game is probably predominantly a cross between Minecraft and Valheim.

[@Andrewtr6]

@CartoonHangout it would suck to lose a base you worked hard on. However, if you spent the time to set up defenses beforehand, it would be avoidable (as long as those defenses don't fail). In order for raids to be meaningful, enemies need a way to get to the player regardless of obstacles. The easiest solution is for enemies to damage and destroy those obstacles.

[@tobirivera-garcia1692]

@Andrewtr6 Maybe something similar to phantoms could be included in raids, picking up and dropping illagers into the village if theres no way to pathfind to them?

[@simonsv9449]

It would actually be more protected if it was located on the highest point on the island. Fortresses are usually built high up. Also it’d be safer if the whole of the walls were made of stone because if they’re made of wood, the pillagers, vindicators and evokers can just burn it down. Also the main gate should be a bit more protected as the pillagers can see into the village and shoot into it.

[@theognistyheros]

The best to do would be, to 2 layers, one on top and other at the beaches of island and then build three brigdes to concetrate pillagers in chokepoints

[@monkeydigs6696]

In medieval times, cities had walls much like your raid-proof village. But they would be very thick and made of stone. You could try to break them down by flinging big rocks at them, get over them with siege towers, or use a battering ram to break down the gates. But when the cannon started rolling into battlefields, city walls were rendered useless as a cannonball could just punch through.

[@ispeaknonsense]

So if Mojang equips Pillagers with cannons...we know who is to blame

[@theognistyheros]

Well, walls like this were usually found in earlier medieval times or fortified cemetries. Cannons were medieval thing, but walls were still used, just evolved in time (fortress city, building thicker and bigger walls or add dirt beneath the stone to absorb the balls)

[@DanQuirino1985]

As soon as raids became available I became addicted to them. Silent was not even dreaming about making farms for them yet and I personally never used one, mainly because my brain is too lazy to dedicate itself to understand the mechanics and perform all the steps but also because I am too adventurous for my own sake so I needed the thrill. So yes, I made some stacks of emerald blocks on those pillagers back along with some double chests of totems and I wish saddles could be used at least for fuel, man... omG. I heavily relied on tipped arrows since I also just recently have discovered them and that in bedrock you could use 3 potions to make a whole stack of arrows by submerging them in a cauldron. The village was a Farm house of sorts that I kinda copied from Andyisyoda but I made it a lot larger and it was at the moment housing around 40 villagers so the amount of golems inside was good but the spawned mostly inside the walls, still a great aid if a wave of pillagers somehow spawned or managed to get inside. There was a river to the left where it was a lot easier to kill ravagers from bellow the water or simply from a far since they can not swim fast enough, the same actually goes for any pillager variant but specially ravagers and vindicators that are solely melee. The wall to the right was inside a desert biome though, so whenever they came from that side I used arrows or slowness level II and damage to kill them faster otherwise bad news for me. After each raid I started trading like crazy until I was out of resources such as paper, coal, strings, crops. Down the line I didn't have anywhere or anything to spend my emeralds on so I copied Avomance's sugar cane farm for a third time in that world and decorated the part behind the glass blocks with some emeralds. Nowadays, whenever I try to call and fight a raid it lags my game like crazy. Nothing works properly anymore. Same computer though, Idk what happened.
