A discussion on raiding

[Crashlander04]

I'm not at all experience with raids on minecraft, but can raiders just go it, do their bit of raiding, and then leave to give the town a certain amount of time to recover? I'm not sure if its happening with all raids but the raiders seem to either hang around the town for hours, or come back multiple times within a single day.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, raiders wouldn't go back to settlements that they just raided within a short period of time after stripping it off their supplies

I agree, but sometimes you can spend hours looking for hidden chests XD Raids do vary in length, but you shouldn't be occupying a whole town (unless officially doing so).
