PillagersPlus
by Randd
PillagersPlus is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds twelve new pillager types, new outposts, a castle and a raid system with pirate pillagers.
What it does
Twelve new pillager types are added, each with its own behavior. Some summon other pillagers, some carry TNT, some ride a pig and use a pickaxe, and one resembles a golem. Several use swords or spears, and a guard walks behind a shield. The mod also adds a new biome, a castle and seven pillager outposts, so players meet the new mobs in fresh places as well as in raids.
The raid system is reworked: pirate pillagers join the raids, and an infinite raid mode lets raids continue without a fixed end. The mod ships with new animations, blocks and structures, and it has texture versions. It is written to sit alongside the default game content, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Twelve new pillager types
Each of the twelve pillagers has its own weapon, ability or mount, from a sword user to a pig rider with a pickaxe.
Summoning and TNT pillagers
Some pillager types call other pillagers to the fight, while a ranged type with a spear carries TNT.
Pirate raids and infinite raids
The raid system adds pirate pillagers and an infinite raid mode, so raids keep going instead of ending after a set number of waves.
New biome, castle and outposts
A new biome, a castle and seven pillager outposts are added to the world, with structures and blocks built for them.

How it compares
The Ultimate Raid is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it shares the same environment and license as PillagersPlus, but it covers raids alone. Pillager Apocalypse Structures is server-side only under the MIT License, so players join without installing it, and it adds structures rather than new pillager types. Pillager Queen Reforged is another client and server Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, with a different focus on the queen of the pillagers.
