Spawning

Illager patrols

Pillagers may spawn in illager patrols. Illager patrols spawn a maximum of five pillagers (weight 55) or vindicators (weight 27) up to 200 blocks away from a village on grass or sand with a block light level of 0–8 and a sky light level of 10–15.

Pillager outposts

Pillagers naturally spawn in and around pillager outposts.

Raids

Pillagers are able to spawn as part of raids. Raids are when Illagers invade a village and attack villagers.

Woodland mansions

Pillagers naturally spawn in Woodland mansions.

Drops

Upon death, pillagers drop:

• 0–2
  Arrows, dropping more with the presence of Looting, up to 5‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}.
• Its
  crossbow which has an 8.5% chance to be dropped (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III). It will have a random durability, and can be enchanted.
• 5 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
• 1 illager banner, if the pillager is a patrol leader.

Behavior

Pillagers are armed with crossbows and attack by shooting arrows at their foes, an arrow each 2 seconds at 6 blocks away: players, iron golems and villagers. This can lead to pillagers battling neutral/hostile mobs due to an arrow hitting the wrong target, though pillagers will never attack each other. Pillagers can ride illager beasts. Villagers will attempt to run away from the pillagers. Pillagers will switch to melee attack when fully submerged underwater.
