Closer Pillager Outpost
Closer Pillager Outpost changes how far Pillager Outposts generate from the player, so they appear nearer and can spawn inside villages.
What it does
The mod places the nearest Pillager Outpost closer to the player than usual, with the search limited to a maximum distance of 900 blocks and only 2 biomes. It also adds the possibility of Pillager Outposts generating near or inside villages, which vanilla generation does not produce. The mod requires Nobie Link, and it is server required with client optional, so a server must run it while players may join without it.
Closer Pillager Outpost is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for server platforms. Files cover the game versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file on each loader. The code is licensed under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
