Operation "Evacuation": or how I tried to outsmart a raid in Minecraft

Hello, adventurers and self-taught Minecraft engineers!
Honestly, sometimes I come up with ideas so crazy that I even surprise myself. I built a farm, harvested crops, went about my business, and then — bam! — the first thought in my head: "What if...". The first reaction — this is nonsense, the second — I have to try! And that's how my experiment of the century was born.

The first step into madness

The situation is familiar to many: I go to defend yet another raid, villagers are running around their homes, pillagers are dashing like mad… How much longer? Honestly, I'm tired of saving these poor souls who constantly get into trouble. And then it hit me: if there's no one left in the village, maybe there won't be a raid? Some people dream of building a rocket, but I want to send all the villagers on vacation!

The construction of the century

The plan came to me instantly and was so "brilliant" that I almost applauded myself.

• I build a magnificent railway with redstone automation.
• During the raid, I catch all the villagers and herd them (sometimes literally push them) into minecarts.
• I pull the magic lever — the entire village rides off, like to a resort, far away from trouble.
• I become an observer and smirk as I wait for Mojang to count the raid as failed!

Not going to lie — it was something else! At first, excitement: tons of rails, buttons, smoke, and panic. The "Apocalypse Station"! Every house — its own departure point. In reality, getting villagers into minecarts turned out to be a quest harder than hunting the Ender Dragon: some resist, some just run around and refuse to leave... At one point, I felt like a provincial conductor handing out tickets for the "Away-from-the-Raid" train.

It was to be expected

The moment of truth arrived. Everything went according to plan: I removed the "Bad Omen" effect, the raid started, I flipped the lever... and my villagers sped off into the sunset on a train. I'm sitting there, enjoying my genius, and then — chaos. The pillagers arrived, stopped, and looked like they'd forgotten why they came. The raid bar cheerfully blinked — no cancellation. My emotions were at their peak: on one hand — disappointment; on the other — I couldn't stop laughing! Honestly, I was shocked: Mojang, didn't you think about creative players like me?

My personal conclusion

Minecraft once again proved: even if an experiment seems crazy — it's worth trying, because it can't get worse!
My system turned into an original way to "transport" villagers (you can even organize tours), which will be useful in the future, but for raids — it's not a solution. Sometimes the craziest ideas bring more joy than victories by the rules. What about you? Have you had such failed but memorable experiments? Share your stories — I honestly love them!
