Depillage
by pajic
Depillage stops pillager outposts from spawning once enough pillagers have been killed near them.
What it does
Each outpost counts pillager kills within a set radius around its structure. When the count reaches the required amount, the mod prevents further pillagers from spawning at that outpost. Both the kill threshold and the radius are configurable, with defaults of 100 kills and 64 blocks. The mod was written to stop pillager outposts from endlessly producing pillagers across a large area, a problem the author describes as the reason for the project.
Depillage is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It also works in single-player worlds, where the integrated server runs it. Players who take part in clearing an outpost receive on-screen messages that show progress toward the threshold for their current outpost. Server owners who want custom text install Polymer on the server and enable the Auto-Host option. Translations for the progress messages are included, and clients without a translation see the default English text.
Depillage requires Fabric API on Fabric. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 26.1 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.0.2+26.1.2 for 26.3. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

What the author says
Ever thought it's stupid that there is no way to prevent pillager outposts from spawning pillagers infinitely in a huge area? Yeah, me too. This mod stops pillagers from spawning at their pillager outpost if enough pillagers have been killed near the outpost. Participating players will receive on-screen messages…
