Forsaken Village Outposts

Quickstart

1. Install the .mcaddon file and apply both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack to your world.
2. Start exploring — no crafting or commands needed. Simply walk toward any village.
3. When you get close enough, the addon triggers automatically. Watch your action bar for a message like "Forsaken village claimed: outpost at X, Z; N village chest(s) upgraded."
4. Follow the coordinates in the action bar message to find the newly spawned pillager outpost, located roughly 50 blocks from the village center.
5. Loot the outpost chest and upgraded village containers for high-tier rewards.

Overview

Forsaken Village Outposts overhauls the feel of village exploration. The vast majority of villages you find will be ruined and overrun, while every single village — forsaken or not — draws the attention of a nearby pillager force. The world becomes more dangerous and more rewarding the moment you set foot near any settlement.

What It Adds

How To Use

Triggering the addon is entirely automatic. As you explore the world, the addon scans nearby village points of interest. The first time you approach a village:

• The village is evaluated and, with roughly 90% probability, marked as forsaken — decayed visuals and zombie villagers are applied.
• A pillager outpost is constructed at a random cardinal direction ~50 blocks out from the village center. Pillagers spawn there immediately.
• Up to 8 village containers within about 44 blocks of the village center receive bonus loot injected into their upper inventory slots.
• If no containers are found, a bonus chest is placed a couple of blocks from the center and filled.
• Your action bar displays the outpost coordinates and how many chests were upgraded.

The village is then permanently saved. Returning later will not re-trigger or overwrite anything, so your looting and curing plans stay intact across sessions.

Abilities And Mechanics

Forsaken Village Decay

Roughly 9 in 10 villages gain abandoned aesthetics: cobwebs spread through structures, mushrooms grow in dark corners, and zombie villagers roam the area. The remaining ~10% of villages stay intact but still receive an outpost and loot upgrades.

Pillager Outpost Chest Loot

Each outpost chest is seeded per-village and contains a randomized but generous haul:

Village Container Bonus Loot

Existing village chests, trapped chests, and barrels receive extra items placed in their upper slots (slots 18–23), leaving existing loot untouched:

Progression And Strategy

• Early game: Head toward villages as soon as possible. Even a forsaken village's upgraded chests can give you diamonds and golden apples well before you'd normally find them.
• Outpost first or village first? The outpost coordinates appear in the action bar the moment you trigger a village. Clear the outpost pillagers before looting to avoid unexpected raids, or lure them away first.
• Zombie villager cures: Forsaken villages are packed with zombie villagers — bring golden apples and potions of Weakness to cure them en masse and unlock heavily discounted trades.
• Raid planning: Since each village is processed only once, you can scout the outpost location, prepare your gear, and return later without losing the spawned pillagers or loot.
• Multi-village runs: Villages in your world are all independent. Each one rewards a full chest upgrade and a new outpost, making exploration highly profitable at any stage of the game.
