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'd NBT file.

Additional files raids_nether.dat and raids_end.dat are stored in the data folder of respective dimension folders, allowing for raids in other dimensions for villages in those dimensions.
