Illagers Pose Too Little of A Threat

My friends and I got a simple log wall up around our village and apparently that is technology that the Illagers never discovered. Every raid now consists of them standing outside and happily eating arrows to the face as we stand on our crude battlement.

They need to have siege weapons that can destroy walls to force the players to actually invest in stronger fortifications. They can't even use fire against wooden structures. Ravagers should be able to damage anything weaker than stone brick. The attacking forces should steadily grow in size and bring better and bigger siege equipment or beasts to deal with the players' increasingly robust defenses. Farms should also be a target, preventing players from simply ignoring the siege and being forced to break it or starve.

Minecraft is a game that is almost entirely focused on building. I was baffled when I discovered that Illagers don't even have the means to penetrate the smallest possible 3-meter dirt wall.

    I like this, but early raids like this would probably cripple a player's village. Maybe the raids in the first few in-game weeks are the weakest, and later on once the player should have acquired better equipment, the raids may be able to grief walls.
