If you want to play update, you can find it on my Patreon! www.patreon.com/WhimzeeYT Or check out the last Minecraft update I coded: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btd7h7uXxJPTkp8.html

"let's keep it as vanilla as possible" - 12 minutes later "YOU WILL CROSS SWORDS WITH A LITERAL GOD"

More work in 2 days than Mojang has done in the last 4 years

6:35 I mean, their only issue with Villagers is that they are too peaceful, never wishing to pick up a weapon to defend their land. Likely a Pillager shopkeep would still lop off your hand for trying to steal. A cutthroat merchant if you would.

I didn't think I needed Pillager Ganondorf in my life until now.

THIS. WE NEED THIS. I like the idea of pillagers becoming friendly by means of a trial of combat. Gives Viking kinda vibes.

Vanilla villages "molding to the landscape" is stretching it in my experience. Ever since the village update, not a single village I have visited has been intact enough to be saved. Villages divided by a ravine, half on a giant cliff, houses standing 5 blocks above all others... yeah it's something.

My jaw actually dropped at that guy who only took 15 minutes to create just a demo for the boss battle music. I aspire to have this kind of creativity and work ethic! Amazing video :)

6:39 Hey, he predicted the Ominous Bottles pretty much.

Mojang should just hire these guys. They crank out mode in record time with updates players REALLY want.

This is so cool, I love the idea of this and the execution is just.. wow

Yet Mojang can’t add 3 mobs in a year

This is an awesome video! You didn’t just make an impressive storyline, builds and coding, but you were also able to put it together in a video that came out so fun and entertaining. The pillager Jarl’s story was on point! I would love to see an update like this in minecraft!!

Great video! It was really fun making music for the boss battle! Jarl turned out awesome

Just shows how little Mojang actually does in a year. Edit: People, stop making excuses for them. 1.20 sucked, and you can’t just say, “well it’s hard to make” because they made village and pillage and the nether update, both of which were great.

You have inspired me to put code confirmations in my programs from this day forward. Thank you Whimzee

You could've still had that boss theme as a music disc. Imagine you walk into the grand hall, the boss stands up and a pillager in the corner carries a music disc to a jukebox to start the boss music.

This is some incredible work that still feels like it could fit in Minecraft with very minor tweaking. I absolutely love the idea of reskinned normal swords that you can find in very specific circumstances, even if it's just like three or four different versions that come pre-baked with a certain enchantment (ie a Ghastly Blade that you find with fire aspect 2), that would make exploration that much more fun to find exclusive swords, and it would make display rooms way cooler

This update… looks AWESOME! Amazing job, mojang gotta hire you

Absolutely love how it looks like it fits into the game so well. Yet I still believe going with a simplistic rout with the boss would be best. What makes Minecraft so unique is how everything is so well thought out. You giving your self a week takes away that very important time needed to really find something cool. This actually kinda shows how having a gameplay designer is really useful. they think of everything and refine all the ideas. and then you code it all in only once.

This is just amazing. Thank you so much for making this!

If this guy could create such a good update in 7 days just imagine what mojang could do in a year if they actually did their job

It would be really cool if you made these four mods into one mod with extra features like the armor trims and suspicious sand from the 1.20 update and maybe some of your own extra ideas that maybe are not related to these structures!

This single guy is making way more better features than all Minecraft developers

Whimzee out of context, “could you imagine defeating a navy seal by eating a SlimJim?” 5:09

Thanks Whimzee! I has a lot of fun working on this one with you! Hope ya'll enjoy the boss!

Pleasure working with you again bud :) To the moon you go...! :D

I love the ideas and the implementation. I feel the outpost could add a treasure map like guide to the main base. The reward of being able to trade with pillagers would be awesome. Also giving the outposts their own unique banners would be a cool touch. All in all love the content

The Pillager Jarl is just Evil Guts and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Just imagine how sick it would be to raid one of these with some friends. They look so cool

A winter update would be amazing. Like in cold biomes, you could start freezing to death, and there will be occasional blizzards. Just an update with anything related to winter and the cold.

10:17 I let out the biggest laugh ever! 😂 I was never expecting that lmaoooo I just found you channel and videos and they are amazing! So cool and entertaining! Keep doing so, you are so talented and so your friend I was so amazed with his build ❤

We need a big villages with pillagers as guards with swords, axes, crossbows, bows, helmets, shields, horses, commander and a boss

10:00 i like everything about the Jarl’s design… especially in it’s iron-golem-esque physique, dual-wielding of a sword and crossbow, and the totem of undying necklace… HOWEVER, i think a basic iron/netherite sword, albeit with a larger size scaling and some enchantments (perhaps with some Emerald or Amethyst details, similar to Armor Trims… which, i suppose would also imply the potential addition of Weapon Trims), would have been the best way to go for the boss’ melee weapon… no offense, but the unique sword, despite being as cool as it looks, makes the Illager Jarl look too much like a Modded-Minecraft Boss, rather than a Vanilla-Minecraft Boss

The Village & Pillage update is My personal favorite and the fact you have made it even better, you earn a sub.

this goes to show how lazy mojang is

8:16 that goes fucking RAW!

First of all this is incredible work. This seems like a very fun addition to the game and it also looks very visually appealing, especially for the given time frame. Secondly, thank you for bringing more spotlight to devlogging minecraft. I find it entertraining. Lastly, thank you for bringing more attention to Datapacks specifically. I think they are extremely overlooked in the general minecraft community and you are doing an excellent work at showing Datapacks' true capabilities.

You should add the iceloger to this update, it will fit perfectly. Also, new pillagers will be cool.....

I really hope he continues to work on it even after this video, shits dope

I love your editing style and your video idea as well as how amazing this mods is thank you for making such an amazing video 😊

11:54 "do you see these animation keyframes? Yeah, that's braille. It says you're f**ked." Brother that's the best line I've heard all year, 10/10

Great new challenge idea. Try coding in 3 animals in a year. Very difficult, but I think you might just have it!

Yo man, this is awesome. The attention to detail is great!

Yo good shit bro, amazing work I can’t believe Mojang hasn’t swooped you into their team already

this is the best one yet, really appreciate that it’s a bit more vanilla-like. You and everyone involved with these are talented af

Finally a way to switch teams in Minecraft cuz honestly the villagers make no sense they charge you 62 emeralds for a single map that doesn't even lead to good treasure and half of it is even wrong

I absolutely love this, I love this type of content, (and I would love it if Mojang actually took some risks with their updates and gave us something cool...)

Such a well put together video!!! I loved how you acknowledged where your process could have gone better-- I found those reflections are super valuable to understanding the coding/development process. 💖💖 great production value and awesome final product!!!

Well done! This was a really cool boss fight. Death animations like the falling over and using the totem are something you don't see often.

mojang should really hire you, you're like a whole dev team yourself lmao

7:01 uhhhh, Ender chest? hello??? (and you could argue trap chest as well but.... it's just chest with redstone)

"keep it similar to vanillia" 9:00

Awesome video and that boss was absolutely incredible! :D I thought we agreed that you'd edit out all of my deaths though, my lawyer will be in touch haha

"And then there's only one chest type" Ender chest : am i a joke to you?

this is a masterpiece

This is great ! The production was so refreshing and different, I loved this and your personality brought it all together. 3 cheers for Whimzee

I just rewatched all your 7-day update videos because I was hoping for more… LOOKS LIKE I GOT LUCKY!!!

Mojang be working on remodeling structures for a year and this guy just coded an entire update Mojang hire this guy or take notes

The boss is crazier and more intimidating than the Arch-Illiger. By TONS!

I have an idea... And that is to- *take all the time you need* Seriously, you don't need to fit your time into a tight schedule, we'd be fine with a same video with a longer time spent.

I'm always blown away with what people can do with datapacks, excellent work! As for the diamonds, I'll give my two cents on the topic - Diamonds are better off as nonrenewable, since you don't need a massive amount of them. After getting a couple of kits, you don't really need more diamonds for your entire duration on that world. Compare that to resources such as iron, gold, and emeralds - Used in important building blocks, consumables, and trading. The player needs more throughout their entire game. This, however, gives diamonds a very powerful use - As a nonrenewable resource, they work perfectly for server currency. They can't be easily devalued due to their scarcity. No other resource, with the possible exception of netherite, can really compare as a currency, since most things are infinitely farmable.

**Mojand needing 1 year to add a single new mod and some stuff** *A radom fan in 7 days:*

i can tell it was based on slave knight gael and the fact you were planning more phases and him gaving large swords and lighting power and a rapid fire crossbow is just the nail to the coffin for it being a gael inspiration

Bro didn’t just cook, he made a full course meal

when I needed it most, he came back. I am sooo glad you did this. I hope from next year on I can support and buy your work! Looking forward to it! maybe as christmas present

No way, mojang copied this guy's ominous potion lol, It's a real thing now

this is so inspirational! thank you for making me more passionate about my DataPack xD

Bro the quality of the coding and the insane editing… mind blowing. Amazing video!

This is actually so sick. You should make like a vanilla V2 mod with all your codes and world like this onenso therenwould be moren in minecraft

crazy how it takes a multi billion dollar company a year to make one update and yet a single person can make a better one in a week

This is awesome. You should fr add new illager roles like a merchant and add the other illager types u find in woodland mansions as natural spawns.

Took em 20 years to add two blocks and a armadillo, took this guy a week to make minecraft 100% more interesting

8:11 is like a matpat theory

Bro, mojang just needs to hire you lol

this is high quality video right here, the dedication must be insane!

9:10 such a viking comment.

the jarl sword should summon lightning when you hit them he should also drop his bow as a very buffed crossbow

thank you for breaking down the barriers to learning complex subjects!

I like the totem turning into the second phase. Pretty cool lore with the totem

The part in the intro at 0:18 with all the pillagers standing in units really reminded me on Star Wars episode 7 when general Hux gave a speech right before obliterating the Hosnian system.

Very impressive boss design and concept. And probably the best way to ‘align’ yourself with illagers.

This was an amazing revamp. You done Desert Temple, Jungle Temple, Dungeon, and now Pillagers. So whats next? Water Monument becoming something epic with trials (LoZ lol)? Perhaps Strongholds and making them rogue-like ending with a classic D&D Styled dragon battle? Nether Fortresses with actual; guards, better structuring, and a new boss? :D

That Jarl Sword looks straight out of Hypixel Warlords ! That took me back a few years 😂 Amazing work !

09:38 He's trying to do a Chuck Norris. 'Chuck Norris stands faster than you walk." :D

You should make your upgrade datapacks into one big datapack! I'd reaaalllly like that! Anyway, awesome boss! You shall give out classes or tutorials of making stuff like this

I have a suggestion for other things you could do: revamp the other minor builds. For example, the villagers are… in a village. There are no towns or cities, but what if there were? In addition, the witches are confined to single huts, what if there were secret witch grottoes and covens? Just some ideas.

Mojaing should hire this dude

Loved your collab with Shovel241! Amazing video so far.

13:39 mcd weapons are very cool i just think they would be a bit complicated for mc lol

absolutely love the reference to the Ulfberht swords, especially since we still don't know how they made them so well

You are a huge inspiration, this is why I wanna code, to made stuff like this

DUUUUDEEE this so good!! That boss fight is HARD (but also SO fun!) Thanks for having me man! Every video you put out is so fun and creative. GGs!

Awesome video bro, this mod looks like so much fun I wonder what music you used for 7:16 cause that song perfectly matches the vibe of a pillager base, that sense of awe, beauty, and ferocity

Before I watch this video, I have a theorem on how Illagers work: Evokers are the top of the food chain, best of the best, who've learned to conjure spells and use magic. They act as religious figures in Illagerreligion, and are thus given the best clothing. Vindicators are just a Pillager in a fancy uniform, who use close range weapons due to their profession being in CQC , and/or due to close range nature of combat most of the time in Woodland Mansions not requiring crossbows. Pillagers are Vindicators in war garb who have access to armor and weapons, and prefer to utilize their Crossbow. Mainly seen outside due to their nature as raiders, they gather resources and slaves, and distribute them to Woodland mansions, who use however much required for their own needs, and in return ship off further resources. In such a situation, Evokers would be practically wealthy aristocrats who pay off regular Illagers to be their mercenaries, which is why the ones in Woodland mansions have so much money, because they're paid more to protect the Evokers as they are extremely important. Ravagers are genetic abominations made by magika, likely from Witches and/or Evokers, and act as beasts for the Illagers to use in combat, with their own sense of blind loyalty. Witches are not Illagers, but instead a hybrid of Illagers and Villagers, likely from cross-breeding, who've isolated themselves due to the stigma of being half-breeds, and work together with Illagers, who care much less about their nature as half-breeds and accept them in exchange for aid, and have thus radicalized most witches to their side. Illusioners are isolationist nomads who've abandoned the Illager's ways in exchange for a life of isolation and self-sustainability. They've focused so much on training methods and magik, focusing on fields that most Evokers would ignore (being illusion magik which is much less effective in combat), so they may escape from a threat instead of having to deal with it. Iceolegers are one in the same boat with Illusioners, however they are much more aggressive, and focus on keeping you away from them through use of force, keeping to themselves on mountain tops. Both of these two nomads will attack you on sight due to the fear you'd do the same to them, as they've cultivated such a reputation to villagers, and have received attacks from so many iron golems and players that they implicitly do not trust anyone.

This annoys me how lazy Mojang is.

Alot of the pillager stuff in minecraft dungeons is very inspired and would be cool in minecraft.

5:05 Is quite honestly the best part of the entire video

It would look really cool if you implemented a mechanic that when the boss battle progresses it makes the arena look more withered, which can even add more intensity and make a part of history to your world, making it look more diplomatic because you "conquered" a pillager nation. It would also be really cool if villagers had some similar mechanics like what was added to the pillagers.

Finally i was searching for 2 years to find the perfect pillager update idea... and then i found it. Incredible vid btw
