Where Pillager Outposts Generate
Pillager outposts generate in several surface biomes where villages can generate. Their tall dark-oak tower is visible from a distance.
How to Find Pillager Outposts
The tall dark-oak watchtower is the defining landmark, but hills and trees can hide its lower floors from view.
What to Look For
- Search broad plains, deserts, savannas, taigas, and snowy mountain regions

- Approach with a shield and plan how you will handle the Bad Omen effect
