/summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~ ~Frequently asked questions
- How do I summon a Pillager in Minecraft?
- Enable cheats or use OP, open chat with T or /, paste /summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~ ~ (Java) or /summon pillager ~ ~ ~ (Bedrock), and press Enter. The Pillager spawns at your feet.
- Does the summon Pillager command work on Bedrock Edition?
- Yes — use /summon pillager ~ ~ ~. Bedrock uses the same entity IDs without the "minecraft:" prefix and does not support NBT arguments like custom names in the summon command.
- Why does my summoned Pillager despawn?
- Mobs despawn when no players are nearby. On Java Edition, add {PersistenceRequired:1b} to the summon command to prevent it. On Bedrock, use a name tag on the mob after summoning.
