This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
 

The raids.dat file located in the data folder of every Minecraft level is used to store information about the raids in the level. It is stored as a gzip compressed NBT file.

Additional file raids_end.dat is stored in the data folder of end dimension folders, allowing for raids in other dimensions for villages in those dimensions.
