Raids & Patrols
by Pes1R
Raids & Patrols gives server owners and players a config switch that controls how Pillager raids and patrols spawn, so a village can be left free of them.
What it does
Pillager raids and patrols are the mechanics this mod governs. A config file, reachable from the mod menu, lets a player turn off the spawning of raids and patrols, so a base or village can be built and looted without them appearing. Other settings keep the default behavior for players who want the original difficulty back.
The author describes the mod as still being tested, and notes that new mechanics and further raid and patrol features are planned for later versions. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 0.2.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Patrol spawn control
A setting stops Pillager patrols from spawning, so they do not appear inside a base.

A separate setting turns off Pillager raids, so villages can be looted without them.
Config file access
The options live in a config file that can be opened from the mod menu.
Default behavior kept
Leaving the options unchanged keeps raid and patrol spawning as in the vanilla game.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want to keep raids or patrols from interrupting building and looting, and server owners who set the rules for their world.
