What It Does
Raid Restorer changes how raids behave in Minecraft. It restores the raid mechanic to match how it worked in version 1.20. The main goal is to make stacked raid farms work again. In recent updates, raid mechanics changed significantly, which broke the ability to build these specific types of farms. This mod fixes that issue by reverting the core logic to the older behavior.
Key Features
The mod includes a configurable gamerule called raider_bad_omen_effect_sec. This setting controls how long the Bad Omen effect lasts after you kill a raid or patrol captain. By default, the duration is set to 6000 seconds, which equals 100 minutes. This matches the timing from Minecraft 1.20. You can adjust this value if you want a different duration for your server or single-player world.
Who It's For
This mod suits players who build raid farms. Specifically, it helps those who rely on stacked raid designs. If you've a farm that stopped working after updating to a newer version of Minecraft, this tool is designed for you. Real talk, and it isn't a general quality-of-life mod for casual players. That targets a specific mechanical change that affected farm builders.
Compatibility and Requirements
Raid Restorer is a server-side mod. It requires a server to run. That doesn't work on the client side. You must install it on the server for it to take effect.
The mod supports the Fabric mod loader. It does not support Forge or NeoForge. If you use a different loader, this mod won't work.
It supports specific Minecraft versions. The verified list includes 26.3, 26.2, 26.2-pre-3, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.10, and 1.21.9. Don't assume it works on other versions. The list is discrete. If your version is not on this list, the mod isn't verified for it.
Installation
You can download the mod from Modrinth, GitHub, or CurseForge. The project is open source under the Apache License 2.0. A latest release is version 1.6.0. Check the repository for the most current changelog and installation guides.
Why It Exists
Raids in Minecraft 1.21 changed significantly. These changes made it impossible to create stacking raid farms. The mod exists to reverse this specific change. It doesn't alter other aspects of the game. What you get focuses solely on the raid mechanic and the Bad Omen effect duration.
