Illager patrol and wandering trader spawn mid ocean

The part about the wandering trader is probably intended, and illager patrols are specifically coded to only be able to spawn within specific biomes, so it didn't actually spawn in the ocean. Also illager patrol spawning is not determined by villages or pillager outposts.

So illager patrols leaving land and patrolling the ocean is not a bug? They were not in boats but walking single file across the sea.

Both of these cases are working as intended, as both pick a random location and attempt to go there.

I just had 2 separate groups of illagers swim in an ocean. If this is indeed intended, perhaps their pathfinding should be polished as every time I've seen them they're in the middle of a body of water.

I have a mob farm in the middle of an ocean biome 80 blocks away from any land mass whatsoever at Y-70+ elytra is the only way up there. With that being said... how are the patrols path finding there way up there lol
