How can I start an illager raid via commands? I've looked into mob events but they don't seem to trigger anything.

I'd prefer a solution where it not be required that the player is in a village for it to start.

Unfortunately, you have to be in a village to participate in a raid. Fortunately though, you can create your own village by only having 1 villager next to or near it's linked bed. You can check to see if it is linked to a bed by checking to see if it sleeps in said bed at night. Once you do this, simply use this command and the raid will start.

/effect @s bad_omen

Just note that if the villager is killed at any point between the start and end of the raid, the raid will be counted as a defeat.

There appears to be an unused /raid command which manages raids. Not sure why it was not added to the game.

    Hello and welcome to Arqade! If you could please complete the answer to tell us how this answer is different and needed to complete the answer from @Banana97286 ? Is the give part of the command needed above or below a particular version?

The command is:

/summon pillager ~ ~ ~ minecraft:spawn_as_illager_captain

The three tildes (~) means it will be summoned at your exact location. you can change this by replacing it with coordinates with a space in between:

/summon pillager 100 65 -57 minecraft:spawn_as_illager_captain

Hope this helped!

    That seems like it will just summon an illager capital, not start a raid.

  • /effect <username here> minecraft:bad_omen is the command, however you need a village for it to summon the raid

  • I have thought about this. But this only gives you the bad omen effect which, indeed summons a raid when you enter a village structure area, but if you want to ummon a raid anywhere in the world, without the bad omen effect, you will need other commands. Also, this is the equivalent of getting a bad omen effect from any nearby outpost... It all depends on the intention...

  • Yes I tried this when I was looking at mob events but all it did was spawn the captain and nothing else

  • @Geekdeserpentard.D “you will need other commands” could you point me to what you mean?

To start a raid, use this command in the chat, and you will get the Bad Omen effect. To make a raid happen, just walk into a village in survival mode for it to start.

/effect @s bad_omen
