Minecraft Pillager Outpost Finder
Find every Pillager Outpost on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.51, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Pillager Outposts generate across the Overworld biomes villages use, topped by a watchtower and guarded by a Pillager Captain. They are uncommon: half of worlds have one within 1,350 blocks of spawn on Java and 1,050 on Bedrock. This finder marks them at 99% accuracy on Java and 97% on Bedrock.
Where do Pillager Outposts generate?
Pillager Outposts generate on the surface in the same broad set of Overworld biomes as villages — plains, savanna, taiga, snowy and desert, among others. The tall dark-oak watchtower is visible from a distance, so once you are close you will spot it over the trees.
How far from spawn is the nearest Pillager Outpost?
Usually more than 1,000 blocks. Across 200 random worlds, half had an outpost within 1,350 blocks of spawn on Java and 9 in 10 had one within 2,400; on Bedrock the same figures are 1,050 and 2,000. Open a marker for coordinates and approach with armor, because pillagers fire crossbows on sight.
| How close | Java 26.3 | Bedrock 1.26.51 |
|---|---|---|
| Half of worlds have one within | 1,350 blocks | 1,050 blocks |
| 9 worlds in 10 have one within | 2,400 blocks | 2,000 blocks |
| Worlds with one within 1,000 blocks | 3 in 10 | 5 in 10 |
Measured with this finder on 200 random worlds in each edition, from the point where each world spawns you. Distances are rounded.
Why raid a Pillager Outpost?
The loot chest at the top of the tower holds crossbows, arrows and emeralds, and some outposts keep an Allay in a cage. The Captain drops an Ominous Bottle: drink it and walk into a village to start a raid, which pays out in emeralds, a Totem of Undying from the Evokers, and cheaper trades from Hero of the Village.
