5 best Minecraft seeds for raids 

Raids are an excellent way for Minecraft players to gain XP, protect their villages, and have some fun. Raids happen when a village and a pillager outpost go to war. Players can also start raids manually on Minecraft.

There are a few different pillager variations that spawn during raids, including pillagers, indicators, ravagers, and witches. Raids comprise seven different waves, and during each wave, players must fight and kill all the mobs present to win.

For many Minecraft players, this sounds like a lot of fun. But raids aren't common in every Minecraft world. Players often need certain seeds to start raids, which is what this article discusses.

This seed is perfect for a classic Minecraft raid battle. Players spawn near a witch hut and don't have to travel too far away to find a pillager outpost right next to a village.

They only have to travel a little bit to the northwest from their spawn location to find this jackpot. Players could spend some time fixing and building up the village to prepare for the raid, and then an all-out battle will occur.

The craziest thing about this seed is that the pillager tower is directly inside of the village. This seed works for Minecraft Pocket Edition, so any mobile players out there should test out this killer seed!

This seed spawns players near a desert temple and desert village. Just over a small desert hill is a pillager outpost. This slight separation is key to preparing for a good raid. It gives players time to prepare their village and build iron golems to help fight in the raid.
