I've been trying to get a Illager patrol for a while now, in 1.14.2 i would get them often and i liked that. now however ive noticed a massive decline if not total disapreacence of the patrols after 1.14.3, i've looked into the change logs and found this:
Patrols no longer spawns if the block light level disallows monster spawning
Doubled the minimum time to spawn from 5 + (up to 1) minutes to 10 + (up to 1) minutes
Now this means that Patrols can only spawn during night and in light levels lower than 8, just like regular mobs, also the night cycle lasts only 7 minutes so if the roll happens every 10, its now even less likely it will land in the 7 minute window which allows for them to spawn (since the day cycle lasts 20 minutes and the roll for a patrol happens every 10-11 minutes so in the best case you will get 2 roll for that day) and if your lucky and wait long enough to get that perfect window theres only a 20% chance the patrol will spawn in the first place... all this combined makes it that the patrols are quite rare and would explain why you might not me seeing them in your world. Quite frustrating if you want to start a raid and get some loot from it since now the fastest way to get the bad omen effect is to find a outpost... Which in my case is quite far away. I hope that at least one of these new criteria is removed since then these patrols would become findable but not too frequent.
