Pillager Outpost
A wooden fortress of malice with the Illager Captain waiting inside.
The Pillager Outpost is a hostile structure found in the Overworld, built from wood and stone. A tall tower marks the site, where an Illager Captain stands guard. These outposts serve as bases for organized Illager activity, linking directly to the game's raid mechanic through the Bad Omen effect.

Reader's Guide
The Pillager Outpost stands as a testament to the Illagers' organized resistance against village life. These structures are generated randomly across various biomes, serving as strategic hubs for patrols and ambushes. For explorers, they represent both significant danger and valuable opportunity. Inside, chests often hold emeralds, iron ingots, and arrows, providing resources for those brave enough to claim them.
However, the true risk lies in the tower's summit. An Illager Captain resides there, guarding a Totem of Undying. Defeating this leader grants the player the Bad Omen effect, which triggers a Raid upon entering any nearby village. This mechanic ties the outpost directly to the larger conflict between villagers and their enemies. Players should prepare with strong armor and weapons before engaging. Understanding this location is crucial for managing the flow of raids in your world. The wooden architecture contrasts sharply with peaceful villages, built from spruce logs and stone bricks to withstand attacks. Patrols often spawn in the vicinity, making even distant approaches hazardous.
