Overview

The Improved Pillager Outpost Mod/Datapack completely transforms the standard Minecraft Pillager Outpost into a formidable, fully-realized tower. Designed to enhance your gameplay experience, this mod/datapack introduces a more immersive and detailed structure that adds depth to your adventures.

Features

  • Overhauled Structure: The traditional Pillager Outpost is replaced with a fully-constructed tower, featuring multiple floors, detailed architecture, and strategic layouts.
  • Four Tower Variants:
  • Normal: A standard, well-maintained tower.
  • Overgrown: A tower reclaimed by nature, with vines and foliage covering its exterior.
  • Damaged: A battle-worn tower showing signs of past skirmishes.
  • Overgrown Damaged: A combination of both overgrown and damaged elements, giving the tower a unique, rugged appearance.
  • Two Top Tower Variations:
  • Active: The top of the tower features a lit signal fire, indicating that the outpost is alert and ready for battle.
  • Inactive: The signal fire is extinguished, suggesting that the outpost is less vigilant.
  • Vanilla Loot Tables: While the tower includes more chests than a standard outpost, the loot remains consistent with the vanilla game. No additional items have been added.
  • Unaltered Enemies: The enemies within the tower are the same as in the vanilla game. No changes to enemy difficulty or behavior have been made—yet.
