Why do Pillagers Stare at You?
Pillagers stare at you because they are hostile mobs that are programmed to detect and attack players, Iron Golems, Wandering Traders, and Villagers, and their staring behavior is an indication that they have detected a potential target. This staring behavior can occur even when a player is in Creative mode or has the Invisibility effect applied, making it a notable aspect of their aggressive behavior.
