Pillager Raids are Craftable
Pillager Raids are Craftable lets a player start a pillager raid on demand by making a potion of bad omen from a honey bottle, an emerald block and blaze powder, placed as a datapack.
What it does
The mod ships as a datapack that adds a crafting recipe. Throwing one honey bottle, one emerald block and one blaze powder onto the ground creates a potion of bad omen, which is the effect that triggers a raid on a village. Only the first craft uses the ingredients; the rest disappear, so the recipe is meant as a single trigger rather than a repeatable source.
The datapack is placed in the datapacks folder of a world and loads the next time that world starts, or can be turned on with the datapack enable command. Because it is a datapack and not a loader mod, it is listed for data packs and runs without Fabric or Quilt changing the game code. The author built it as a quick free project, and the recipe uses the ingredient set that a player would otherwise need to find.
The server must load the datapack for the recipe to work on a multiplayer world, while a player may keep the client unmodified. The files are published for Fabric and Quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which is not open source.

What the author says
Waiting for pillager captains to spawn is kind of annoying, and raid farms are highly complex. With this datapack, you can throw 1 honey bottle, 1 emerald block, and 1 blaze powder next to each other on the ground, creating a potion of bad omen. Please only craft one at a time, or the rest of your ingredients will…
