Chapter 3: Digging the Farm Structure

1. Create the Plus Shape
   • Extend each side of the 1x3 hole by 8 blocks.
   • Connect the ends diagonally to form a plus shape.
   • Clear the center blocks so that the area looks like this:
     • One long side (3 blocks)
     • Two shorter sides (1 block each)

Chapter 4: Creating the Village

1. Setup for the Villager

   • Dig a hole at least 2 blocks away from the center.
   • Make the hole deeper to create a small area for the villager.
   • Place a bed in the center of this area.

2. Adding the Villager

   • Carefully drop the villager into the hole.
   • Ensure the villager cannot escape by placing blocks above and around him.
   • Light the area with torches to keep the villager safe.

3. Build Walls

   • Surround the villager with walls to contain him.

Chapter 5: Water Funnel

1. Place Slabs

   • Add slabs in the corners of the plus shape.

2. Add Water

   • Fill the areas between the slabs with water to create a funnel effect.

3. Final Water Placement

   • Place water in the middle of each of the three long sides of the plus shape.

Chapter 6: Digging the Drop

1. Create a Drop Shaft
   • Dig down 27 blocks from the center of the farm to ensure pillagers do not survive the fall.

Chapter 7: Collection Chamber

1. Expand the Chamber

   • Dig out an additional 4 blocks in one direction and one block deeper in all directions.

   • Attach three hoppers pointing into the chests.

3. Create an Exit

   • Add a staircase or ladders for easy access to and from the collection chamber.

Chapter 8: Ravager Killer

1. Set Up the Lava Trap

   • Place a sign at the center of the collection chamber.
   • Add additional signs around it to create a barrier for the lava.
   • Pour lava into the center of the signs.

2. Remove the Pillars

   • Break the pillars surrounding the lava to return the water to normal.

Chapter 9: Finishing Touches

1. Start the Raid

   • To initiate a raid, kill the pillager leader with a flag.
   • Quickly return to the farm and prepare for the raid.

2. Optimize the Area

   • Flatten the surrounding terrain to help pillagers move more quickly into the water.

3. Collect Ravager Saddles

   • If you want to keep saddles dropped by ravagers, place three blocks over the hole to prevent them from escaping.
