Improved Pillager Outpost is a Java mod by Sashiro that swaps the standard pillager outpost for a fully built, multi-floor tower. It runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a separate datapack build is also published. It must be installed on the server, while players joining that server can go without it.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt: Minecraft 1.16.5 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What changes in the world
The outpost becomes a tall tower with several floors, detailed architecture and strategic layouts. There are more chests than in the standard structure, so a raid pays out more often, though the loot tables are untouched.
- Four tower styles: normal, overgrown with vines and foliage, damaged by past fights, and overgrown damaged.
- Two tower tops: an active one with a lit signal fire, and an inactive one with the fire put out.
- Vanilla loot and vanilla enemies. No new items and no changed mob behaviour.
Installation
As a mod, drop the file into the mods folder of your game directory with a profile for the matching loader (see how to install mods on Java). Fabric users can start from the Fabric loader guide, and Forge or NeoForge users from the Forge and NeoForge guide.
Using it as a datapack
- 1.Download the datapack from the separate datapack listing.
- 2.Place the zip in the datapacks folder inside the world's save folder.
- 3.Open the world and run /reload if the pack does not load on its own.
The creator states full multiplayer compatibility.
Questions about Improved Pillager Outpost.
4 questions
Does Improved Pillager Outpost work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. The creator states it is fully compatible with multiplayer.
Can I use Improved Pillager Outpost as a datapack?
Yes. A separate datapack build is published. Put its zip in the datapacks folder of your world, then run /reload if needed. This suits players who would rather not install a mod loader.
Does Improved Pillager Outpost change the loot or the pillagers?
No. Loot tables and enemies match the standard structure. The tower has more chests, so you find more loot overall, but no new items are added and mob difficulty is unchanged.
Which loaders does Improved Pillager Outpost support?
It supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus plain datapack use. All four loaders have a current release, and none of them has been dropped.
