About the Bad Omen Effect

Bad Omen marks you for revenge: walk into a village with it and a raid begins, while entering a trial chamber converts it into Trial Omen for harder vault runs.

How to Get Bad Omen in Survival

Kill a raid captain, the banner-carrying pillager at outposts or in patrols, and Bad Omen applies for up to 100 minutes. Ominous bottles, dropped by captains and found in vaults, let you drink the effect on demand instead.

Using Bad Omen Well

Drink milk before entering your trading hall if you carry Bad Omen, or the raid will trash your villagers. Deliberately triggering raids is the farming route to totems, emeralds, and saddles, so the effect is both hazard and resource.
