How Do I Get Pillagers to Come to My Base?
Pillagers are a type of hostile mob in Minecraft that can spawn in a 72×54×72 block volume centered on the top floor of a pillager outpost. They can also spawn in Bedrock Edition without a village. However, getting them to come to your base can be a challenge. In this article, we will provide you with the necessary information on how to attract pillagers to your base.
What Triggers Pillagers to Spawn?
Pillagers continually spawn in a 72×54×72 block volume centered on the top floor of a pillager outpost. They may spawn on any valid opaque block as long as the sky light level is 11 or lower, and the block light level is 8 or lower. This means that you need to create a dark and enclosed area for the pillagers to spawn.
How to Create a Pillager Spawn Location
To create a pillager spawn location, you need to build a structure with a dark and enclosed area. Here are some tips to help you build a pillager spawn location:
- Build a tower or a structure: Build a tower or a structure that is at least 8 blocks high. This will give the pillagers enough space to spawn.
- Use dark blocks: Use dark blocks such as stone, dirt, or grass to create a dark and enclosed area. Avoid using light blocks such as glowstone or lanterns.
- Keep the area enclosed: Make sure that the area is enclosed on all sides. Pillagers will not spawn if the area is not enclosed.
What Can Pillagers Break?
Pillagers can break a variety of blocks, including bamboo, bamboo saplings, beetroots, brown mushroom, carrots, carved pumpkins, chorus flower, and chorus plant. They can also loot chests and other storage items. Here is a list of what pillagers can break:
| Block | Pillager Breakability |
|---|---|
| Bamboo | Yes |
| Bamboo Saplings | Yes |
| Beetroots | Yes |
| Brown Mushroom | Yes |
| Carrots | Yes |
| Carved Pumpkins | Yes |

What Do Pillagers Ride?

Can Pillagers Open Chests?
Yes, pillagers can open chests and loot them. They can also loot other storage items such as barrels and shulker boxes.
