Background

The Bad Omen effect is a status effect that starts when a player drinks an Ominous Bottle which can be obtained after killing the illager patrol leader. An illager patrol leader is the illager that is wearing a banner on its head.

Starting in Minecraft 1.21, Bad Omen is a status effect that will turn into either:

  1. Raid Omen When a player enters a village causing a Raid (similar to how Bad Omen used to work before Minecraft 1.21)
  2. Trial Omen When a player enters a Trial Chambers and is near the Breeze Spawner

There are levels of Bad Omen such as Bad Omen II, Bad Omen III, Bad Omen IV and so on. The higher the level of Bad Omen, the more challenging the Raid or Trial Chamber will be.
