A pillager scout watches your village and warns you two days before a patrol arrives.

Kill it for a map and a canceled patrol. Ignore it, and the patrol comes to attack the village.

Versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.8

Loader: Fabric, Forge (1.20.1); Fabric, NeoForge (1.21.1, 1.21.8)

Requirements

On Fabric you need Fabric API. On Forge or NeoForge you do not.
Server-side: install it on the server (or in singleplayer). Players do not need it, and vanilla clients can join without it.
Languages: English and German. German shows for players who have the mod installed (for example in singleplayer); vanilla clients without the mod see English.

What it does

When vanilla would normally schedule a patrol near your village, a scout appears instead: a pillager holding a spyglass, standing on high ground with a view of the village, a couple of days ahead of time.
Starting a forecast sends every player within 128 blocks of the bell a short message hinting at the scout on the hill.
The scout is persistent, flees from an approaching player or iron golem (it notices a golem from further away), and never attacks.
Kill the scout and it drops an explorer map to the nearest pillager outpost, and the patrol it was watching for never comes.
Ignore it, and when the time comes, the patrol spawns at the village edge as normal, larger than a vanilla patrol and with vindicators added (an evoker too, on Hard), and the scout disappears.

Advancements

Shoot the Messenger: kill a scout and get its map.

Configuration

File: illager_scouts.json.

Field	Default	What it does
`leadDays`	`2`	How many days ahead a scout appears before its patrol.
`villageSearchRadius`	`160`	Range to look for a village to watch.
`fleeDistance`	`12`	Distance at which the scout starts fleeing from a player.
`golemFleeDistance`	`20`	Distance at which the scout starts fleeing from an iron golem.
`extraPatrolMembersMin` / `extraPatrolMembersMax`	`1` / `3`	Extra pillagers, vindicators or evokers added to the triggered patrol, on top of the vanilla-sized group.
`evokerChanceHard`	`0.25`	Chance one of the extra members is an evoker, on Hard only.
`vindicators`	`2`	Vindicators always added to the triggered patrol (one more on Hard).

A config file with a syntax error is left untouched: the mod logs the problem and keeps the last working settings instead of overwriting the file with defaults.

The tag illager_scouts:scout_map_target (default minecraft:pillager_outpost) picks which structure the dropped map points to and can be changed to another structure.

Commands

Command	Does
`/illagerscouts forecast`	Creates a scout and its patrol forecast at the nearest village.
`/illagerscouts patrol`	Triggers the next pending forecast’s patrol immediately.

Both commands need operator permission.

Good to know

Only one forecast runs per village at a time.
Without a village nearby, patrols spawn exactly like in vanilla.

Occupied Villages: some new villages spawn already occupied by an illager garrison you can liberate.
Bonded Pairs: binds two mobs from the same spawn group into a pair that avenges each other.
Golem Patrol: gives iron golems a daily patrol, a night watch and an escort for villagers.
