Practical Guide
Raid farms exploit village raids (triggered by Bad Omen) to spawn evokers, vindicators, and pillagers. Evoker drops are valuable; farm is profitable at X+Y coordinate systems.
Practical Steps
- Find or create village (minimum 3 bed blocks + 1 workstation)
- Position 10 villagers in holding pen (separate area from spawning zone)
- Trigger Bad Omen: drink ominous bottles from trial chambers or kill patrol captains
- Enter village boundary with Bad Omen; raid wave spawns (3-7 waves max)
- Build wave spawning platform 50+ blocks from village center
Pro Tips
- Evoker drops are rare but valuable (20% drop rate on Looting III)
- Ominous bottles are limited; only found in trial chambers or captain drops
- Raid waves scale with village difficulty (more beds/workstations = harder)
- Wave 1-3 have pillagers; wave 3+ include evokers and vindicators
- Bad Omen effect lasts 100 minutes; can trigger multiple raids per bottle
