Minecraft Pillager Outpost Seeds
Minecraft Seeds · By the ChunkScan Team · Updated August 2026
Pillager outposts are the tall watchtowers manned by pillagers and a captain, often with a caged allay beside them. They are the reliable early-game source of ominous banners (to trigger raids), crossbows, and allays for item-sorting farms. The seeds below each place an outpost near spawn, ranked by distance and verified by an automated scan of over 1.7 million worlds. Outposts frequently generate close to villages, so a nearby one often means a village raid is easy to set up too.

Allays, raids and ominous banners
Kill the outpost captain and you gain Bad Omen; carry it into a village to start a raid and earn Hero of the Village. The caged allay near many outposts is the only renewable way to duplicate allays for sorting and farming builds. The ominous banner the captain drops is also a rare decorative item you cannot craft.
Outposts near villages
Outposts avoid generating too close to a village centre but often sit just outside one, which is why so many raid-farm seeds pair the two. Distances here are measured straight-line from spawn using cubiomes for the listed edition and version, so the outpost is exactly where the map says it is.
