Barricade the Village
This technique is used a lot in raids. Mobs and raiders cannot actually destroy blocks outside the village. Barricading the village and creating a 4 block wall around the village will keep the mobs out and they won’t be able to come in. Hence you’ll be taking less damage. This will make it easier to Stop a Raid in Minecraft.
Lock the Villagers Inside Houses
This is one of the main things you can do to win raids. If a single villager gets hurt or dies in a raid, chances are that you lose the raid and will not get any achievement. Use the bell to put the villagers in their houses. Once all the villagers are in the houses, block the doors from the outside using spare blocks. This will keep the villagers safe from raiders.
Start the Raid
To start the raid, you need the Bad Omen effect. Try to find an Illager Outpost somewhere near the village and find captain Illager. The captain can be located by a banner on their head. Once you kill the captain, you’ll get the Bad Omen.
All you need to do to start the raid then is walk into the village with at least 1 villager and 1 claimed bed.
