Tutorial:Defeating a village raid

This tutorial will show you how to defeat a village raid, an attack by illagers targeting villages. They are triggered by the player upon entering a village with the Bad Omen effect.

Raids are ominous events during which waves of pillagers, vindicators, ravagers, and evokers (which can summon vexes) invade a village to kill as many villagers as possible (witches also spawn and are passive to villagers, but they still attack iron golems and the player. They heal illagers with beneficial potions). They can be really difficult to handle in any stage of the game and can result in many villager deaths if not properly handled.

As one of the most difficult events of the game (even against the wither's fight or the ender dragon's), raids must be handled with powerful protection and high-damage weapons. Below are some of the gear recommendations for the defense. Take note that this may not be enough on higher difficulties with raids triggered by high-level Raid Omen effects.
