Highly recommended with Mod Menu
Allows you to configure everything: patrol group sizes, spawn frequency, detection ranges, and spawn distances.
Patrols no longer care about villages or light levels — they'll hunt you anywhere. Increase the radius pillagers spread across, fine-tune how far they need to be to provoke, and push them further from your position. Make your world feel more dangerous.
All settings are configurable in-game via Mod Menu for quick tweaking without restarting.
Also pairs nicely with my other mod: Point Blank Pillagers
NOTE: SETTING THE TICK RATES TO 0 AND/OR CRANKING THE GROUP SIZE ALL THE WAY UP WILL FLOOD YOUR WORLD WITH PILLAGERS CAUSING SEVERE LAG. PLEASE USE THIS MOD CAREFULLY.
