@@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.

[@steveaustin2686]

When we find a village, we lock all the villagers inside the houses and build a fence around the village. If the fenced in area is small enough, raids will form outside the village fence and it is much easier to defeat the raids from inside the fence. The villagers won't wander off and iron golems usually stay inside the fence. Light up the area inside the fence and mobs won't spawn either. If you find a villager with a really good trade, fence in their house so you always know where to find them.

[@helm36]

1 villager with a bed or workstation already count as a village, so you can stole 1 villager with boat and create village for raids and dont do that all protection things

[@a_lonely_guitarist3359]

suggestion: make a small house and put a librarian in there (so that the discount can be used on him as well), build a blast resistant tower and get a few flamfinity (flame + infinity) bow and lock the villager in the tiny house and start raids with an iron golem or 2, and just delete the illagers from existing

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.

Fun fact: Ravagers have a special attack called stunning, on which the ravager gets stunned for a couple of secs, then it roars and knocks the player quite far away. And according to SimplySarc, the ravager attack if tackled with a shield, you can use some pretty neat tricks to launch yourself even 1000s of blocks with that knock back!

[@DemonDrummer]

Slight elaboration: “a raid is triggered when [the player makes the killing blow on a] raid captain.” If one of the other raiders shoots the captain and kills them, it will not trigger the “bad omen” status effect. (At least not a Java, unknown on Bedrock).

Excellent video. While I do love raids, I'll never understand the extremely short duration of Hero of the Village. I feel like it should be more like 15-20 ingame days rather than around 2. Still, it's a fun experience and the totems of undying make it worth it.

[@a_lonely_guitarist3359]

Sooooo True, irl if my entire town was saved from like getting raided, then I would cherish the dude who saved the town like bruh, it should be 10 ingame days and hero of the village ii should be 25, to balance this, the discounts should be halved

[@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

[@alanredversangel]

Biggest issue i have with raids is collecting all the loot. As for fighting them just walk away when the raid is due and they'll definitely spawn behind you. Then reach for your bow.

[@DepressedCapitalist]

Agree. I usually craft 1 or 2 chests in the middle of the village or somewhere accesible and store my belongings (except of course my vital weaponry) before the raid. Then I keep storing the loot left by dead illagers between waves or during them as I walk close to the chests.

[@Aaron-hv4hr]

The one single bad thing about building raid farms is that the storage is hell. So many non-stackables! The totems, the potions, the saddles, and oh the thousands of axes! But hey, trading has never been cheaper 😌

Back in my early minecraft days, i came across my first pillager patrol. I had seen pillager outposts before, so I figured they had to be from there. I tried to follow them back to the supposed outpost, but like i said, I hadn’t played for very long and didn’t know about despawning. So i ended up looking for a pillager patrol that didn’t even exist anymore for about half an hour.

First, the primary purpose of raids is the discount, not the totems. It's nice to get a couple of them initially, but beyond that, they just start accumulating. The discount is always useful, however, especially if you're not playing on hard mode, and can't reliably zombify your villagers for better trades without a raid. Second, the best way, by far, to defeat a raid is to do it in a village specially created for the purpose, which has a magma-block moat around it. All you need is a single villager with a bed to count as a village. The setup is pretty simple, though it takes a bit of time. Around your village, dig a trench that's about four blocks deep and four blocks wide. Fill that trench with water, and make sure all the water blocks are source blocks (planting kelp to the surface and breaking it is the easiest way to do that). Now put magma blocks on the entire bottom surface of the moat, save for a one-block ring on the outside. The latter allows you to swim up and get out, after going in to fetch the loot (remember to crouch when on the magma blocks). Make sure you hit a pillager at least once during the raid to make it count as a victory. Beyond that, you can literally just sit back and watch. They will all rush towards you and the villager(s), go into the moat, then burn to death at the bottom. Save the witches. They can live for a very long time down there, so you'll want to pick them off with a bow before they jump in, if you can. Otherwise, wait until they're the only ones left in the wave, then kill them with a ranged weapon or jump in to attack with a melee weapon (be prepared to deal with poison). If you want XP, you'll need to hit each pillager within 5 seconds of them dying. You'll want to do this with a bow or trident. The bubble column requires you to change your aim, however. While it sucks mobs downwards, it pushes projectiles upwards. So you need to aim at a point between you and the target. If you have a bow with Punch II, you can see when you've got the aim correct. Finally, getting Bad Omen V, for the best discount, can be tedious if you just sit around the fort waiting for a banner to spawn. But there's a workaround. Just leave the area - a few chunks away - and return. A whole new batch of pillagers will spawn en masse, likely with a banner. It's extremely easy and fast to do this if you have Elytra. Just fly away for a couple seconds, then fly back.

[@samsibbens8164]

Thank you for the moat idea, I'll try this out

[@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

Or luck out and have the raid spawn in the partially blocked cave behind the village! This is what happened on my first ever raid. I could hear them, and was searching the village for them but finally found them trapped in the cave. Eliminated them with almost no damage to myself. Doubt I'll ever get that lucky again.

Another thing about Ravangers!!! They can't hit you if you're underwater! That can also be used as a huge advantage against them, but of course only with a little preparation. ("Underwater" In this case means that there's a lake or something, not just a bucket of water, for clarification)

Here’s an updated comment. I experienced A raid. They were inside my walls the first time. The traps I set outside of the walls (berry bushes and magma blocks) just kept them back but they never hurt themselves so they stayed away from it, the snow didn’t have the powder on it so that didn’t work. But what really helped was my lava trap and the iron golem and I made some snow golems I feel the snow golems fought the hardest and worked the best. I was going to use my dogs but I sat them back down. I haven’t uploaded that video yet but will soon. It’s rather hilarious😂

[@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.

[@rionka]

these are really nice advices, thanks a lot :)

[@VibeDPyro]

Golems definitely help in solo raids, was doing a raid on hard mode and I had my village spread out heavily, they stayed near homes and would kill a occasion pillager or vindicator attacking a house

[@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

@why Cheats on: *General Kenobi*

[@matthewjarrad]

I've done the 7 stages of a raid with a bow with power 1 and normal arrows. You can even shoot vexes with arrows too. Elevation, breaking line of sight with evokes helps inbetween shots. 10 normal arrows to defeat a ravager....would love to see a raid video with the minimal equipment.... If near a coastline, a border around the water 1 extra block high is a great way of keeping them in the water. Easy pickings then.

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.

[@THERAMMSTEINFAN490]

This was a lot of great advice but what i came here for was info on how to physically protect a village. Is it not a good idea to build a wall was my thought? Can you actually lock the illagers out of the village or will they break in?

[@ghbkhigkg9480]

They can literally spawn inside your village or even in villager house

[@jamiestl89]

Wall with sweet berry bushes and watchtowers is what I do. Bushes keep ravagers from breaking down the wall, and I can shoot the pillagers from the watchtowers. Very few will spawn inside your village, and they are usually the base patrol type pillagers that golems can dispose of easily.

7:00 with the bell alert I already see a way to warn your villagers before approaching the village: Set up bells throughout the village inbefore, wire them up with redstone and connect them to a clock. When having bad omen, pull a lever further away from the village and the clock should spam all bells. Wait a short time and then rush in to lock all doors. With the redstone clock switch you can save yourself some time by triggering all bells before provocing the raid. If you have transformed your village buildings with piston doors, even better.

I recommend use Diamond Pickaxe as silk touch, its easier to choose, *for normal work and for special things* Because You wont use diamond one, it gets faster

[@tummytub1161]

Thanks for the info, good job! I use powdered snow around my base to kill off most of the raiders, really easy.

[@minermom]

How does that work? Explain please 🙂

[@tummytub1161]

@@minermom well, I put the powdered snow about 0-5 blocks out one block deep around my base or a village and what happens is the whole raid party sinks into the snow and start taking damage and get stuck. A wall of min 3 block high above the powdered snow should prevent any raid member from getting past. It takes some time to acquire the powdered snow with buckets, but you can place it 2 blocks above a cauldron and when it rains the cauldron fills up with powdered snow and can be extracted with a bucket to multiply. Don't forget the leather boots so you don't sink in and take damage. The snowy minefield needs some replacement every now and then. Most of the time it's just sit and wait for the raid to be victorious 😊

Since I'm not on Java edition, the bell probably will not work for the stray raiders so I just go with the horn wherever the direction of the horn is I go in that direction? And for most of these, I just use a bow on every single one of them. Except the ravager because you want to get it dizzy from blocking it so you can maximize damage

[@GrahamJyc1]

8:39 I didn't know that you could repair iron golems. That's cool!

[@Smc19]

this helped me alot thanks

[@tobiasm3911]

Nice asmr voice, and incredibly clear informative video, thx

[@lgjm5562]

Just build a 2 block high wall around the village and most can't reach you. Then design a main gate with overlapping fields of fire for your soldier mods. After that it's only the vexes that threaten me. Especially because my reflexes are so below average.

[@keithlangevin6149]

A fun way to win that I use is to breed a ton of wolves and place them in groups around village by making them sit. When it starts I "activate" them by making them stand up. When the rain starts to get serious with all the tougher mobs I usually go up into a little watchtower they'll make ahead of time and start shooting them with arrows whoever I attack the wolves will swarm like crazy and when I'm on the ground if I get attacked they'll do the same thing. This is particularly funny when the ravagers come out and I'm running towards you and they don't have a chance of getting at you. Best thing is it doesn't take much to set this up all you have to do is feed your dogs some meat to make them them breed as much as you like which is a whole lot cheaper than making a bunch of iron golems which are also able to be made ahead of time and ready to go by waiting to put the pumpkin on their head until they're needed that way you don't have to try to make them in the middle of a battle

[@xadok]

Lava can also be used for ravagers, probably vindicators too but since a boat can easily trap them it's more efficient

[@theohallworth2632]

Your videos always calm me down when I’m stressed

[@motionbrickstudios.]

Thanks for this guid

Another good method is using a golem because when your low you can just go to it so it will protect you, just bring a lot of iron ingots so you can heal it instantly

[@jeremyjd436]

sadly my raid is kinda broken. i was walking past a buggy taiga village (singular houses on the cliff, the ground level, and on top of a mountain). also, the entire mountain is hollow almost down to bedrock as this giant cave. so thee last remaining raiders could be anywhere, i cant find them. and i want this constant horn honking to stop bc its annoying. im on bedrock edition, pls help

[@mlggamer5296]

You can trigger a raid in the end? That would be crazy how would that work?

[@ashketchup777]

Thank you 👍

[@epicpuppyadventures6518]

I won a raid because of you 😊

[@Eyecraftmc]

Nice!

[@uts4448]

I defeated my first raid. I had a bow enchanted with Unbreaking III Flame I Power IV Infinity I Punch II when I tell you none of them stood a chance (except the Evoker and it's little friends). I died by the little flying things. I was on the last raid and last remaining raider too. I should've watched this video first, because I didn't know what to expect (for example: the rhinos).

[@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.

[@RickyRollDoesAnimations]

My strategy? Breed a bunch of dogs( Around 50-100 is good, I tend to use about 200 cuz i'm bad), give the dogs potion effects, and let them distract the raiders. You will only need to focus on evokers, as they have an AOE attack

[@elpiedra1596]

Get good man. 50 -100 dogs is ridiculous.

[@RickyRollDoesAnimations]

@@elpiedra1596 yeah, it is kinda ridiculous. 50-100 is a very lowball amount, it's around the bare minimum. More than 200 would sound pretty reasonable to me

[@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?
