Better Raid Bell

by WillfurrTheCat

Better Raid Bell changes how far the village bell reaches during a raid and how long raiders stay highlighted after the bell rings.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.7

What it does

When a bell is rung during a raid, vanilla limits the highlight to a short radius. This Forge mod raises that highlight range from 48 blocks up to 128 blocks, and lengthens the glow duration from 3 seconds up to 20 seconds, so pillagers are marked over a wider area for longer. The change is made on the server side and clients need no extra setup to see it.

The mod was requested on Discord and is described by its author as a simple change to the vanilla bell. Only Forge 1.21.7 is covered, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Both sides must run it, so the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Wider highlight range

    The bell marks raiders within 128 blocks instead of the vanilla 48 blocks.

  2. Longer glow duration

    Highlighted pillagers stay marked for up to 20 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

  3. Simple vanilla change

    The mod only adjusts the existing bell behavior and adds no new blocks or items.

What the author says

A simple Forge mod that slightly increases the vanilla bell's range for raids / pilligers. All values of the mod are hardcoded and non-configurable as these values were specifically requested via Discord.
