[MC-143959] Pillager patrols won't spawn near to a village created by a player

The bug

Patrols won't spawn near to a village created by a player. They will spawn only near to naturally generated villages. I don't think that this is intended, as pillagers shouldn't make the distinction between villages that were created by the player or not : they should focus on both.

How to reproduce

Create a default world and create a village (using doors and villager spawn eggs) in a plain biome without any naturally village generated (example of location : seed -5046987773477302630 ; coordinates -1000 ~ 2000)
Enter the command /time add 64d
Set the gamerule doMobLoot to false
Place a repeat command block that kill everything beside player, villagers, pillagers and items
Give stacks of carrots to villagers
They'll start breeding, showing that a village was created
Patrols won't spawn

I tested during more than 30 minutes.

Pillager patrol spawning has nothing to do with villages, player-created or not. They spawn randomly in the world, and if you haven't seen any, it's just because you've been (un)lucky 🙂

Oh, ok ! I didn't know about that (every sources I could find were telling that it was related to villages)...

But then patrol spawning must be extremely rare, as I couldn't find any in difficulty hard, even while clearing every other hostile mob instantly

If this is the case, what keeps a pillager patrol from spawning in the middle of your base?

also, are the patrols limited to certain biomes?

I think this may need to be reopened. I had pillager patrols spawning consistently until I set up a village and completed a raid. Ever since then I have been unable to find any patrols, either locally or in other parts of my world.
