Raid farming is a means to obtain items dropped by raid mobs (pillagers, vindicators, witches, evokers, and ravagers), as well as special items dropped by these mobs during raids:‌[Bedrock Edition only] emeralds, enchanted books, iron tools, and iron armor (of which half has enchantments).

Mechanics

Broadly the components of a raid farm are:

  • a village (26 bed and 18 villager are sufficient)
  • a surface on which the raid is forced to spawn (the ground, or an isolated surface above)
  • a way to funnel or guide the raid mobs
  • a murder area; that is, mob grinder to kill the mobs, or a holding area for the player to kill them and earn experience as well as loot.
  • a way to get Bad Omen again, to that the next raid can start:
    • either a pillager outpost converted to a pillager boobytrap to allow the player to kill Raid captain that spawn in the outpost,
    • or a way to force the Raid captains in the raid out of the raid context, so that they give Bad Omen when slaughtered.
