Pillagers spawned near the player yet nowhere near a village.

@neko it was over 600 blocks from the nearest village, not near an outpost, and to the best of my knowledge pillagers only spawn near those two places
Sounds like a patrol then. See illager patrols.
That's not a bug; @rockenroll4life (Josh Letellier) said:
Patrol spawning is not influenced by villages.
This should be resolved to MC-141607 since they both assert the myth that pillager patrol spawning is determined by villages.
No problem. If I see a "bug" report that states that pillager patrols spawn incorrectly based on the location of villages, I will be more specific about why the report should be linked that way instead of just saying "Duplicate of MC-141607" to avoid confusion.
Was it a part of a patrol?
