Your Minecraft raid is not ending because you have not successfully completed the raid by killing the illager troops or the raid has not expired after 40 minutes of real-time, and there are still living illagers in the village. To end the raid, you need to battle the illager troops, clear all the waves, and eliminate any remaining hostile mobs, or let the raid expire and then kill any remaining illagers.
Understanding Minecraft Raids
Minecraft raids are a challenging feature in the game where illager troops attack a village, and the player must defend it. To end a raid, players must either kill all the raiders or let the raiders kill all the villagers or destroy all the beds.
Factors Affecting Raid Completion
Several factors can affect the completion of a raid, including the game difficulty level, the number of waves, and the presence of living illagers. Understanding these factors is crucial to successfully ending a raid.
