Clearing the tower without taking a crossbow bolt

Outposts spawn pillagers near the tower, and they fire crossbows from long range. Wear armor, carry a shield and approach low behind blocks. A pillager captain holds an ominous banner, and killing it gives you Bad Omen.

• Captain: take the banner, but do not walk into a village while Bad Omen is active.
• Cages: some outposts hold captive allays or iron golems you can free.
• Chest: loot may include crossbows, iron, wheat, experience bottles and dark oak logs.

Use a tunnel or a tower of your own to snipe from cover. Golden apples help when the bolts land.

A crossbow with Quick Charge lets you answer their volleys.

Turning an outpost into a safe lookout

Outposts keep spawning pillagers until the area is lit, so place torches on the ground around the tower. Once the spawns stop, the tower becomes a good lookout with a clear view over the snow.

Set up a base nearby with a bed, a chest and a furnace. Use snow blocks to build shelter on the plains, and craft a boat for icy lakes. Wood is scarce in snowy plains, so bring logs from a nearby forest.

• Keep a bucket of water for putting out fires.
• Use the outpost chest for storage once cleared.
• Watch for patrols that wander near the camp.

If a raid triggers in a village, remember that you may have Bad Omen to blame.
