Since 2022/2023, I haven't seen either of the reoccurring mob events happen in my world. There hasn't been a pillager patrol or wandering trader spawn in literal years now. I have made a copy of the world and check that mob events are set to true, I have waited around with lengthy overnight sessions with commands to check any instances of myself just being incredibly unlucky, but yet there is nothing.
These have happened in the past as I do remember having both patrols and the wandering trader be active within my world. But for some reason they haven't spawned for the longest time. There seems to be limited information on the internet about this as well, if any. I have also tried to put a bell in an active village to see if that has any impact (according to the Wiki). The only other notable thing, is for some reason, on one update years ago, the Ender Dragon respawned itself (including the massive amounts of xp and dragon egg) so this could have something to play with it as it is also a mob event.
I've had the world since 1.14 Bedrock edition at least, as it is using old generation on the overworld and the nether. I think it might be 1.13 the world was created however.
Edit: Other noted to add, it has been a realm before, it has also been on multilayer through Xbox Live, and a guest account has also joined through the switch (same profile, different device)
Edit 05/07/25: Still seems to be happening in the recent update after some testing

Nope, nothing like that. Full survival, always opened in Xbox Bedrock edition. It has been on a realm before though which is the closest thing I could think of. There has been some multiplayer on it as well, but not much
I have the same problem but only with Pillagers, I have spent a lot of time in various vanilla survival worlds and none of them have had the Pillager patrol appear.
@IMattew have you had any changes to your world at all? Is it an older one etc? Any other insights to maybe find a common cause/problem might be able to figure out what's going on:)
I play on Android and i hadn't had Pillager Patrols spawn in any of my worlds for quite awhile.
Doesn't matter if they are old or newly created
I have seen this occur on a world that had been edited with a third-party tool. Have you have ever used a third-party tool on your world save? For example, to reset the nether or prune chunks?
