Pillager Recruitment (Bad Omen Effect)

Killing a pillager patrol captain should cause the pillagers in the patrol to begin obeying you.

In other words, gaining the "Bad Omen" effect causes all pillagers to stop attacking you, begin following you, naturally attack hostile mobs, and also attack mobs which you attack (similar to a dog).

During a raid (when you enter a village with bad omen), the pillagers will not attack you, and if your raid is victorious, the pillagers will throw valuable items from villager trades as well as items that you would normally find in a woodland mansion, even including totems of undying. After the raid, you will still retain the bad omen effect, and the pillagers that you've recruited will continue to obey you.

Joining the pillagers' side would therefore be a trade off, as while you can't monopolize villager trades, you will gain very good loot from raiding villages.

Pillagers will stop obeying you under the following circumstances:
- If you've attacked (aka damaged) 3 more pillagers than you have villagers
- If the raid that you lead was not victorious
- If you've traded with a villager within the last 20 minutes (2 minecraft days)

I think a decision between anarchy and capitalism would make villages and pillages way more interesting especially in faction based servers, as you could gain good loot in new and fun ways.
Obviously this might not be included in peaceful mode.

  I really like this, I even had a concept including the other illagers as well. I think giving another twist to this game would be great. Being a "Hero" all the time gets boring. I want an Illager army so bad.

  It should be if you attach an illager banner to your armor and they only do that if you wear the banner. Then all illagers that see you do it and adding that banner to another banner makes them listen to your banner

  New item: ominous shield, it is a shield with an illager banner pattern on it. It will make all illagers neutral. You would be able to level up your illager rank by killing stuff to show your skill. If you raise your rank high enough, you can ride ravagers, and if you max out your rank, you can actually lead the raids. As your rank goes up, your reputation in villages goes down, and vice versa. If you are holding an ominous shield, then villagers will run away from you and iron golems will attack you. There would be no way to get the totem of undying. (That is the trade-off, besides, you have to use the ominous shield to raise your rank anyways.)

  If you die holding the ominous shield, your rank cannot go any higher than it was at that point. (it can still go down, and it can return to that point, it just can't go higher.)
