How do I get Pillager Patrols to spawn?

[Burma]

I can't find a Pillager Outpost anywhere near my house, and so I've been trying to AFK far away from my house (it has a village and patrols don't spawn near villages). But there seem to be none spawning. Anything I might be doing wrong?

I'm playing Minecraft Java Edition 1.18.

Maybe not the actual answer to your question, but you can easily locate a Pillager Outpost using this https://www.chunkbase.com/apps/pillager-outpost-finder site. The only thing you need is your world seed.

As far as I know Pillager patrols are spawned randomly, there's no reliable way to get one outside of their outpost.

From https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Patrol :

Patrols spawn naturally after the world age reaches 100 minutes (5 in-game days), then after a delay between 10–11 minutes an attempt is made to spawn a patrol with 20% chance of success. After an attempt is made, the delay is reset.

You also need to check that:

In Java Edition, patrols never spawn if /gamerule doPatrolSpawning is set to false.
