Do Pillagers Continuously Spawn at Outposts?
Pillagers do continuously spawn at outposts, but their spawning is not entirely random and is influenced by various factors such as light levels, block types, and game time. The pillager outpost itself serves as a marker for a 71×71 area where pillagers can spawn, and they will continue to spawn within this area unless measures are taken to prevent it, such as slabbing the area or lighting it up.

Understanding Pillager Outposts
Pillager outposts are structures that generate naturally in the game, typically near villages, and are characterized by a distinctive watchtower. These outposts are a hub for pillager activity, and understanding how they work is crucial for players looking to farm resources, build safe bases, or simply survive in a world filled with hostile mobs.
Pillager Spawning Mechanics
Pillagers spawn in a 72×54×72 block volume centered on the top floor of the outpost, and their spawning is influenced by light levels and block types. They can spawn on any valid opaque block as long as the sky light level is 11 or lower and the block light level is 8 or lower. Additionally, pillagers can spawn on grass blocks or sand regardless of the sky light level.
