Ever wondered what a Bad Omen is in the world of Minecraft? Let’s dive into this unique condition that adds an exciting twist to your adventures.
So, what exactly is a Bad Omen in Minecraft? It’s a status effect that triggers an interesting event in the game, but don’t worry, we’re here to break it down for you.
Short Answer: It’s a Raid Starter!
Bad Omen is a status effect that players obtain by defeating a raid captain, a type of Illager found at Pillager Outposts or within other Illager patrols. Once you defeat a captain and bear this effect, a raid will start the next time you enter a village. Exciting, right?
This effect can stack up to Bad Omen V, making the raid more challenging but also more rewarding. Don’t let the name scare you; it’s an opportunity for heroes to shine!
